These are so much fun! Does anyone already use these??? Scratch-off stickers! They are extremely inexpensive. Can be used on business cards, flyers, catalogs... you can hand to party guests to redeem on their NEXT order. You can think of a way to use them to get your hosts to get bookings for you. Take a peek. easyscratchoffs.com/ I know personally I LOVE getting these on catalogs to see what % off I win, or if I get the free item from the good store!

Should you decide to order, please just tell Terra I sent you. I really love helping other home business women. I love these stickers.

Such a great idea!! Thanks for posting! :)
 
That is a great idea. I will check that out.
 
They really are inexpensive! $5 for 100 stickers, $10 for 250. These would be great.
 
Thanks! I just ordered 100 circles. I am having a hostess appreciation next month & would love to do something with them for that. I put your name in for the referral.
 
I have started using the host changelle sheet on here and it really has gotten me some great business. And really hasn't cost me that much either.
 
Thanks! Just got them, and put your name in for the referral!!
 
What do you use these stickers for? What prizes are revealed underneath the scratch off sticker? I'm new at this so I'm looking for some easy ideas to use!
 
it either says Winner or Try Again. You can raffle off whatever you want

(ie. free shipping, seasons best cookbook, 10% off, etc.) it can be as little or as much as you want

How do you handle this so they don't think they can be redeemed through anyone but you?
 
You can make your own coupon business cards with the "extra" information on it and then the prize under the sticker.
 
OOOHHH FUN!!! I'm ordering now and putting your name in too.

Thanks

I would tell them to bring them - or they must contact me. I'm going to start a "preferred customer" program, so hopefully they'll be used to being loyal to me anyways. You can just write your name near them, require them to use at your show (put them on invitations?).
 
This rocks. I always wondered where to get the scratchy things. Post more brilliant ideas.:thumbup: :balloon:
 
Bought some and put your name down.

awesome! Thanks for a great idea. I just ordered a few packs to share with my new recruit! We are doing a booth next month, and I'm sure we can find a way to incorporate the scratch-off sticker!
 
sorry to be dense, but I need some clarification, please. Do you type the prize on the business card or whatever. Then put the sticker over the prize. And when it is scratched off, the sticker has a clear base and your prize shows thru???
 
Never mind! I just read the how to page...:o
 
What a great idea - thank you!Oooh....I can see this for bookings....put prizes on your biz cards and hand out to all guests. Guests who book get the prize...and everyone gets your business card.

:thumbup:
 
Thanks for letting us know about this. I think it's great!!! Just hope that us Canadian's can purchase it too.:)

Here's another way to save money and get great products! I'm excited to make cookies, wrap them in small cello bags and put my business card in one (with those scratch offs on the back maybe) - I plan to deliver bunches to businesses with a catalog. I'm also going to "wrap" my extras to sell at my next garage sale - I can't wait for spring! Had good results last year.

That's my husband's link :) Love these! Even without a 20% discount, the prices and variety beat craft stores hands down! Fun.
 
um, where do we order these???
 
Ok, so I order the scratch off but how does the prize part work? Is it whatever I put under the scratch off sticker? :confused: :confused: :confused:

You got it! Type or write a prize you want to give away (free s/h, SB, whatever) on the back of a business card, corner of outside order forms, etc.

put the sticker over it, and people scratch it off and uncover the prize.
