The other raffles took my advice on being upfront in the post about the questions I knew would be asked otherwise.
This raffle decided not to before the ad went live, hence my advice to email them the questions that I knew would be coming in comments.

You are right about that. I should've taken your advice.
My thought process was, that being that I plan to run a few more ads, I figured, that I would add a bit more info in a future ad. Had I known the importance of putting the info right away, I would've done so.
You live and learn.

I've done this rodeo for more than a decade. You need to know when to trust people.

As I said, I'd also have made the price $125 over $129. Far more attractive price point.

Or a $770 price point

Didn't see that, but I could still be right

$5400 + 2x$200 = $5800 minimum raised. I'm assuming average is closer to $100.

How many tickets need to be sold (at the current avg ticket price) in order to cut your losses?

16guitar · « **Reply #68 on:** September 17, 2018, 07:48:23 AM »

In my opinion, you will sell much more tickets if you are more transparent.
The communication seems a little off.

FWIW, the vast majority of DDMS raffle ads initially try to give as little info as possible and we pressure them to be more forthcoming for their own benefit.

Exactly why I designed the first raffle to be as transparent as possible and the results blew me away.

Thanks for updating.

Please continue to do so.

Also, can any Boyozucker's who plan on sniping the raffle identify themselves now?

I think the second did better, all things considered

The ROI is going to be terrible, no?

In this case there's no minimum, so in theory you can price in the odds that the raffle is done with a few tickets. Obviously, I hope for the shul that this is not the case.

True and that is why some of us are paying attention to how many tickets are sold.

I don't think they are not being transparent here. They just don't seem to be as organized and adept at this yet.
