To gain greater success, charitable organizations use merchandise in their gaming strategy in addition to cash payouts. Merchandise games are sold with a deal of tickets and profit is guaranteed when all the tickets are sold. Players can win instantly or hold out for the opportunity to win bigger prizes. You may be surprised to learn that offering merchandise in addition to cash prizes creates a sense of greater perceived value among customers. Players wager $1 to potentially win items worth significantly more money – items they might not splurge on otherwise.
