Pull tabs are fast becoming
a big business. Moreover, some bingo operators
and hall managers report selling as many as
300 games per month.
Players love these innovative games. They
are fun, fast and simple to play. Players
know instantly if they have won, and how
much they have won. To make pull tabs profitable
in you hall or organization, you must promote
them.
Suggestions:
- Do point of purchase advertising.
- Put up flares, flyers and posters.
- Place your pull tabs where they will
be seen; Somewhere near the front door.
- Talk to your customers, find out what
they like about your games and what they
dislike.
- If your customer would like for you
to carry a certain game, ORDER IT!
- Offer a variety of games.
- Make sure the games offer big wins,
such as $100 to $500 (Check your state
regulations.)
- Whenever possible use floor workers
to sell your games.
- Make a poster and display the total
prizes to be paid out in total prizes
per night.
- Display the names of players that have
won big payouts.
- Show funds raised by pull tab sales
and which charity they are being given
to.
- Train your volunteers to pay out in
small bills instead of large ones.
- Players should see frequent winners
and kept busy with replays.
- Rotate your selection of tickets regularly.
- New deals always sell faster than deals
with some winners already redeemed. Store
a slower moving deal and bring it back
at a later date.
- Study your players watch to see how
they spend their money. Are they more
likely to buy more tabs at $1.50, or $.25
a play? Some players have a hard time
spending that dollar bill and feel more
comfortable about spending fifty to twenty
five cents at a time.
- Play along with the pull tab themes
- if a tab has a catchy name such as "Christmas
Cash", call out, "Get your Christmas
cash here!"
