I just had a brainstorm. I always try to think of ways that I can offer my customers great deals while still making enough profit to be successful and keep my business moving forward.
How about a group raffle??? I feel that the CEG community is one of the best organized groups of people on the www that I have been involved with, and I know you all like to save money, so here's the deal...
We can do a raffle on any product(s) I sell. We will base the raffle on the MSRP of that item, and tickets will be sold at 5% each of the MSRP for items that total $500 and under, and 2.5% for items over $501. For example, if the raffle was for and item that retailed for $200.00, the raffle tickets would cost $10ea, therefore, we would need 20 people to buy a ticket. If the item retailed $1,000, the ticket's would be $25ea, therefore we would need 40 people to buy tickets.
AND THE BEST PART IS... I WILL DONATE 25% OF THE PROFITS TO THE CEG BOARDS!!! Hopefully then we'll never have to worry again about the money needed to keep the boards up and running!
If this sounds like a good idea, let's give it a try and see if it's beneficial for us all. Gimme some feedback here.
