Door prizes are rewards that guests to an event will receive, either via their door prize ticket received during admission, or a prize they win after buying an entry into a draw. One thing is for certain, door prizes can certainly inject a large amount of excitement into your event.
As a way of motivating guests to part with a little of their hard earned money, and attend your party, door prizes are way up there for incentive value. Choosing a suitable door prize can be a daunting task, but a good start is to let the style of the event help you make your decision. Some of the more expensive prizes that will definitely get your guests excited, are free holidays. Of course, these can be expensive so you need to set a suitable price of entry to cover your costs.
Another popular form of door prize is the gift certificate. Guests will love these as it’s almost as good as getting cash as a prize, especially when it’s a certificate from a popular department store. Another great prize idea that is always appreciated by the winner is gift baskets. Use the theme of the event to make up the gift basket contents, and also take into account the type of guests who are going to be attending.
Other good choices that would be suitable for prizes are electronics. With the wide range of personal gadgets on the market today, it’s easy to find something suitable. It doesn’t have to be the electronics themselves, as it could also be accessories for one of the popular phones or tablets on the market. You may want to consider accessories such as cases, stylus pens, and headphones, for iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.
There are really no limits to what can be offered as a door prize. Just use your imagination, and keep the theme of the event in mind, when choosing prizes to add an extra level of fun to the evening.
