Raffle Drawing Cancelled...

Today I cancelled the Raffle to Win Drawing at SpiffyBoutiques.com.

Kind of bummed...

I had several people email me about it, but noone purchased any raffle tickets so I decided I had to cancel it. I think raffle drawings are great and a wonderful way to give your customers something useful for a very small fee.

However, I realize two things when it comes to web design:
1) People want it and they want it right now. That means that while the raffle idea was terrific, no one really wanted to have to wait a month or two to get their custom design started and get their website done. I can relate.

2) I wasn't able to set an END Date on the Raffle - at least in my mind I wasn't able to do that. Simply because it was the first raffle I'd ever attempted and my website is fairly new so I wasn't sure how much traffic and response it would actually get.

I would have been okay selling 10 or 12 raffle tickets, but anything less than that would have made the loss too great on my end and I would have had to cancel and refund those who had purchased tickets their ticket fee.

Hopefully, as my site gains more exposure, I will be able to embark on a Raffle Adventure once again for my customers. Until then, I've been Slashing Prices throughout my store and hope you'll come by!
