Promo codes are an excellent way to incentivize participants and increase engagement in your raffle. By offering bonuses such as free tickets when participants use a promo code during their purchase, you can boost early participation, reward loyal followers, and attract new entrants. Here’s how you can create and manage promo codes as a raffle host on Raffall.
Why Use Promo Codes?
Promo codes serve as a powerful promotional tool that can significantly enhance the attractiveness of your raffle. Here's why you should use them:
- Boost Early Engagement: Release time-sensitive or limited-use promo codes to encourage early ticket purchases.
- Reward Participants: Show appreciation to loyal followers or offer exclusive bonuses to new participants, enhancing their raffle experience.
- Increase Perceived Value: Offering bonus tickets through promo codes creates a sense of value, encouraging more people to commit and share the raffle with others.
- Combine with Other Features: Use promo codes alongside features like Affiliate programs and Ticket Bundles for a comprehensive promotional strategy.
- Update Your Messaging: Promo codes allow you to create dynamic marketing messages. For example, "Use promo code XXX to get X FREE bonus tickets" adds excitement and urgency to your promotion.
How Does It Work?

Create Promo Codes for Yourself or Others
You can create promo codes for your own use or for other users, including affiliates, who may help promote your raffle. -
Set the Number of Bonus Tickets
