What are some creative ideas for a holiday open house raffle?

Has anyone ever done a raffle at their holiday open house? I would love some ideas or the flyer you used for your open house...Thanks

I did a raffle. I gave out tickets for people who RSVPed, people who brought guest, for buying a certain amount ($50), and booking a show with me that day. You can give as many tickets as you want for each one. For example I gave five tickets for each person who book a show. Then I had 3 prizes laid out with a simple addtion bowl in front of each one. THen the guest put half of there ticket in the bowl next to what ever prize they wanted. Then I drew the tickets and that was that. My Prizes were the host bonus from that show, a cook book, and grab bag with old Seasons best, i-slice, and a min-whip. I was supprised that the grab bag had the most tickets in it. My guest loved it. I also had 3 people book a show on the spot! Also 3 or 5 had over $50 dollars in orders.

I've seen consultants give a free cooking show and that be the biggest hit. You never know what people are going to go for. I have given free shows and bigger prizes and have been surprized each time. What ever you dicide to do will be great, what matters is you have fun.

Hi there! I have done raffles at my holiday open houses before and they have been a huge hit! One idea is to have a "gift basket" raffle where you can fill a basket with some of your favorite Pampered Chef products and have people enter to win by purchasing a certain amount of products or by signing up for your email list. Another idea is to have a "stocking stuffer" raffle where you can fill a stocking with smaller Pampered Chef items like spatulas, measuring spoons, etc. and have people enter to win by bringing a non-perishable food item or toy to donate to a local charity. As for the flyers, I usually use a festive holiday design and include the details of the raffle and how to enter. I hope this helps and good luck with your open house! Happy cooking!
