August 2022, saw the relaunch of the ‘Friends of Serve and Protect’ private lottery – giving their members a chance to win cash prizes, whilst also raising funds for good causes close to their hearts.
The previous lottery, which had over 2,000 members participants, generated a monthly revenue of £3,600 – £2,000 of which was paid back to members in monthly cash prizes. However, with a legacy brand – limited presence on the website and onboarding – growth had slowed, prompting the relaunch of the Friends of Serve and Protect ‘Play & Give’ Lottery.
The relaunch involved:
– A refreshed ‘Friends of Serve and Protect’ Committee
– Development of the ‘Play & Give’ Brand
– Updated Terms and Conditions
– Review of monthly Cash Prizes and special draws
– Identifying nominated charities to pledge future support
– Creation of accessible landing page and onboarding for members
– A launch campaign and ongoing communications shared across Email, SMS and Mobile App
Six months on and there are now over 3,326 participants – generating revenue of over £5,400 per month. Based on current participation over £64,000 will be generated in the next 12 months – to give back to members in the form of cash prizes or to help support good causes close to their hearts.
