I have this idea brewing in my head. I was wondering what do you all think would be a good price for tickets for a raffle for the home fragrance kit or the ubu kit?

My thought is it depends on how big the group of people is. If there's more people involved, the raffle tickets can be sold for less.
I've seen raffles for $1 - $3 each, in the hopes that some people will buy more than one square. It's not hard to add an extra buck to your order for the chance to win a $50 product.
Here's how I've done it in the past:
Print out a sheet of paper with 25-50 numbered boxes on it. People can buy squares and write their name in the squares of their choice (their lucky number?). Once the raffle is full, do a drawing and announce which square won.
You can do the raffle for a specific item like a Home Scents collection or a SFC, or if it's a smaller group and you're not sure how many raffle entries you'll get, you can say the winner gets to choose $25 in free product or $50 or however much the raffle was worth.
Great way to boost your party sales!

I forgot to mention... make sure you announce the raffle winner after all the orders are in and paid for. Otherwise people will purposefully NOT purchase in the hopes they'll be the raffle winner and the raffle can hurt your party instead of help it.

One other thing you might need to check is the legality of a raffle in your state. Raffles like this are illegal in some states.
