The club can't seem to win with the raffle, and I don't know if we want to continue doing it at all. There was a time when we were given a LOT of good stuff for the raffles, but this was pre-Covid. Now, we struggle to get anything donated at all, and when we do, it is not nearly the value that it used to be. The last few years that we sold tickets, we hardly made anything and this year, we sold a total of SIX tickets. SIX. I would be interested to hear more about how other shows are doing raffles and what they are having donated / giving away.

I can help out with this for next year.
There are a few things you can change, but there are trade-offs. We can discuss via PM if you'd like.

We handed out 1000 flyers a month before the event to most of the local stores. Everyone that I talked to was happy to give them out to their customers and Emily even put them in shipping boxes for local-ish customers.

Did the lesser known places get a visit with flyers? Forest Lake pets, sea level, etc? Many forget that there are more than 2 choices for saltwater LFS in the metro area. Granted, the others are not near the level of mn aquatics and nwa for saltwater.
