Thanks Ed..That's pretty much it. On most of the raffles Ed was the organizer and I did what I could to advertise it where ever I could think of..Mostly other Forums although that's limeted because other Forums won't let you post an ad for a raffle. I used the Luger Forum and the P-38 Forum..both owned by John. Then I sent a notice with a hot link to the raffle page to everyone in my address book via email. Kind of like selling band candy..you ask everyone you know!
If you take on something like this you have to pay attention to many details..You don't want any ticket buyer to be upset somehow or shorted. We pretty generally kept it together with very few glitches.
It's an initiative..you jump in and do it. Announce begining and ending dates..ask for items for the raffle..stay in contact with the donors and then give the donor the name and address of the winner. Everyone has some responsibility.
I think it's better to have two guys who know each other..not absolutely necessary but it helped that Ed and I were Friends. You lean on each other for support. Or to bitch. It's not that easy...Ed says 30-40 hours and I think he's forgot the space time continuem. I would be floored if it were just 35 hours. In a month the raffle runs that would be only 1+ hour a day on average..I had several hours some days banging out ads and emails. It doesn't auto end the day the raffle closes either..you will have a week or more after catching up details..shipping receiving, money transfers etc.
