How to make scratch off cards


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.
Here are her results using the scratch off paint:

If you’re looking for a faster way to make scratch off cards you can get scratch off stickers, peel them from the liner add them to your scratch off cards and they’re ready to scratch. Which way do you prefer? You can also get different shapes such as heart scratch off stickers, football scratch off stickers and red scratch off stickers
If you need to make a lot of scratch off cards and want to add to your business cards, I high recommend  scratch off stickers.
If you’re wanting to have fun with the kids for party favors, either one will work. Just remember to plan ahead for drying time and trial runs. I’ve heard from some that theirs didn’t work and others that it just took a lot of time and they wanted more professional results.
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.
Making scratch off cards can be a fun inexpensive way to market your growing business and create party favors for the kids.

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.
