I put together a basket for raffle at my kids school. I also want to include a gift cert. from me. How do I word it that it must be redeemed thru me only - in a profesional manner?
 
Make the gift certificate (or you could call it gift credit) and put in small but legible type towards the bottom: $XX Credit available only through "jrny2001".

I would also put an expiration date. You can choose on your own if you want to value it after the date but it would get them to place an order sooner than later.

Thanks for the help!
 
BTW- I did NOT originally come up with this GC....it was shared on here by some generous soul and I took it and used it!!

(You know how that goes!!)
 
GcI made some GC on vistaprint for free. I used the large postcards format. I find myself giving them out more often as donations or as personal gifts from me.

I worded mine like this:

This certificate entitles the bearer to $25 towards the purchase of products through the Pampered Chef consultant listed on this certificate only!

My info is on the certificate!!

Debbie :D
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to word a raffle basket description for a school fundraiser?

When creating a raffle basket description, be clear and concise. Start with the theme of the basket, list the items included, and highlight any special features. For example, "Enjoy a cozy movie night with our 'Family Movie Night' basket, featuring popcorn, candy, and a selection of popular DVDs!"

How should I phrase a gift certificate for a school fundraiser?

For a gift certificate, ensure it includes the value, the purpose, and any restrictions. A good example is, "This $50 gift certificate is valid for any Pampered Chef products. Treat yourself to high-quality kitchen tools!"

What information should be included on a raffle ticket for clarity?

Each raffle ticket should include the name of the prize, the value of the basket or item, the drawing date, and contact information for the organizer. This ensures participants know what they are entering for and how to reach you if they win.

Can you provide tips for making raffle basket wording more appealing?

To make your raffle basket wording more appealing, use descriptive language that evokes excitement. Incorporate adjectives that highlight the quality and uniqueness of the items. Phrases like "luxurious," "handcrafted," or "exclusive" can draw more attention.
