How to make scratch off cards

How do you make scratch off cards? There are two different ways to do it. The hard way and the easy way.  It’s really not hard,  but it can be time consuming and a little messy. Definitely  a fun way to get the kids involved.The first way is to buy soap, paint, tape, contact paper and card stock. You mix the paint and soap together. Cover up your paper with tape, brush on your soap mixture and let it dry. Once it’s dry you can scratch off to reveal what you’ve hidden. Artmind has a tutorial with pictures and lots of fun craft ideas.

Whenever you’re making scratch off cards, always do a test run before printing on your cardstock paper. Make sure your scratch off sticker will fit over your prize or picture you’ve put on your scratch off card.

How to start a business using scratch off stickers

One of the most important aspects of starting a business is marketing. Every business has to engage in some sort of marketing. Many businesses use scratch offs as a form of marketing to attract new customers, to encourage sales, and to show customer appreciation. Car dealers use them, craft stores use them, beauty shops use them, and direct sales representatives use them. Any business can use scratch offs to promote their business and to generate new leads.

Scratch off stickers can be used on personalized candy wrappers, as personalized party favors, and as incentives to go the extra step. Customers will be incentivized to buy the extra shirt, book a party, close the deal, or otherwise do something a little extra due to the scratch off. People like having a chance to win so scratch off party favors are excellent additions to your business start up.

Create buzz for your business by having a grand-opening, giving out personalized candy wrappers, and scratch off party favors. The scratch offs can offer the chance to win a really big prize with a lot of smaller prizes. You can offer any prize you want, a trip to France, a 1000 dollar shopping spree, percents off, or BOGO offers. You can offer the percents off on today's purchase or future purchases, it's completely up to you.

If you have a business where you buy wholesale, and sell retail, you can include a scratch off ticket with the packing label along with a catalog of your other products. The scratch off can offer special coupon codes, percents off and other offers. If you are a book seller, you can go beyond typical scratch offs and include scratch off bookmarks in each book you sell. This a nice gift, but also can encourage repeated sales.

Since you can put any picture you want under the scratch off, a really great idea is to put a QR Code under the scratch offs. This will bring traffic to your website, get newsletter sign ups and make for a fun time for your clients and potential clients who were lucky enough to receive a scratch off promotion from you.

Starting a business using scratch offs as a marketing method can make your marketing dollars go really far because you can make one type of marketing collateral go farther. For instance, if you create business cards you can include a scratch off sticker. This will encourage people to look at your business card again, and hopefully buy from you.

Set your goals when starting your business from scratch

When our scratch off sticker business was started there were a lot of things to consider. What would we offer our customers that other's didn't? How would we stand apart? How would we continue to grow?


All of these questions are answered on a continuing basis as we grew our business and set large goals with baby steps. This is how we've grown our scratch off sticker business. We now offer 15 varieties of scratch off stickers in an assortment of colors.
This article helps explain big goals in your small business:
Setting Business Goals-

When Setting Business Goals Think BIG
If you are considering starting up a new business venture in the near future, or currently own an established business, it is likely that you may not be sure as to what steps to take next in order to take your business further. When it comes to owning your own business, it is vital that you make goals in order to see your business flourish and grow to its full potential. However, the main issue which stops many business owners from thinking big in terms of their business goals is that they tend to focus on the negative aspects of goal setting. What if my attempts fail? What if I damage the current status of my business? On the other hand, what if you succeed in achieving your goals and realizing your business' true potential?

If you are unable to envision your business going further than it currently is, chances are it is unlikely that you will be able to achieve any big goals. It is understandable that any business owners will fear failure, and so will simply opt to not set large goals in order to dodge any great failure. However, as you see the years pass and your business cease to grow, it is then that you will realize that thinking big when drafting your business goals is one of the most effective ways in which to push yourself and your business to its full potential.

It is unlikely that we can immediately achieve any business goal we set out mind to instantaneously. Anything that is worthwhile takes time. However, by taking the risk to make our business dreams a reality and be realistic with our goals, we will have a higher chance of seeing this reality. One of the most effective ways in which to make your goals is to share these with someone else and make yourself accountable. This may be something you have already done, but for others, communicating their business goals out loud-no matter how small they may be, can be incredibly empowering and can motivate them more to try to achieve them. Many business owners make the mistake of staying small when drafting their business goals as they believe that smaller goals are easier to achieve. In some respect this is true, but with the correct determination, persistance and planning, you can achieve anything. This is not to say that your big goals will be realized in quick succession and without effort, but by continuing with the running and growth of your business, building on your marketing, advertising and so forth in order to achieve your smaller goals, then with time, your big goals will be realized. As you achieve your previous goals, you can create new goals and continuing to grow your business. However, be realistic. Making large goals which you know you will never achieve can dishearten you but stay too small, and you may be de-motivated.

So, how can you make your big goals a reality? Break down your big business goals into section which are realistic and will be achievable. For example, if you aspire to gain 200 new clients, break this down so that you will aim to gain 10 new clients a month, and build on this number as you start to achieve this goal. Changing your big goal into smaller, more manageable goals will make it easier for you to achieve, thus filling you with a sense of accomplishment and motivation as it is realized.


Setting big business goals can be a daunting task, especially if you are a beginner and you are starting from the basics. However, many businesses fail as they refuse to take the chance to dream big, showing how being safe can be just as dangerous as dreaming big. So, if you want your business to grow to the establishment which you dream and know it can be, don't be afraid to be ambitious, realistic and above all, don't be afraid to dream big.

Motivate your Direct Sales Team

Finding the motivators that drive your direct sales team to achieve their personal goals will ensure greater success, for both your team members and you. As a direct sales team leader, one of the best ways to grow your own business is to motivate your team for higher profits.



People's reasons for becoming a direct sales consultant vary. Some reps may join simply because they want to receive a discount on the products they buy. Others may want a reason to get out of house and away from the kids. Still others join because they want, or need, to make additional money.



Some consultants will be self-motivated. They'll be determined to succeed whether you encourage them, or ignore them. Most of your team members, however, will need some motivation to help them reach their goals, while helping you reach yours.



Motivating someone requires discovering what they want and helping them to achieve it. One way to determine a team member's motivation is to ask why they joined your team. You can then provide ways to help them reach their goals and get what they want from their association with your group. That's what motivation is all about.



Let's assume your team members are motivated by more money. To help your members use that motivation, encourage them to think about what they might do with that money. Would they pay off some bills? Buy a new car? Save for the kids' education? Take a vacation?



If you can get your team thinking about what it feels like to have that extra money and how they want to spend it, you're well on your way to motivating them to work harder to earn it.



One way to motivate your team members to reach their goals is to have them write the goals down. Remind your team that if they don't know where they're going, they will never know when they arrive!



Hold monthly team meetings and encourage every member of the team to set a sales goal for that month. Then, have them write down that goal and post it in a conspicuous place in their own home. Your team members are much more likely to achieve that goal when they see what they're aiming for.



Contests are another great way to motivate your team members. Offer a prize to the member who has the most sales, holds the greatest number of shows or recruits the most new consultants. Whatever the goal is, encourage your team members to work the contest daily and send you an update on their progress.



You can compile the results at the end of each day, or week, and let the group know where everyone stands. Competition is a great motivator for some. Use it to your advantage and see your profits rise right along with your team members' success!



Be sure to provide a prize to the winner. A gift card, a free product, or if possible, an added percentage of profits.Give them a scratch off game with a prize underneath to keep them motivated and excited. The gift isn't nearly as important as the contest itself, but again, it will serve as motivation.



Keeping your consultants "hyped up" and excited about the company, the products, and being a part of your team will go a long way in helping to motivate your team to higher profits. Look for ways to do that every week, and your success potential will soar!
