Ninth Zebra
Three rhythms, and the recurring one is the habit.
1. Associate appreciation, monthly. Appreciation programs already track the hard part: perfect attendance is logged, safety milestones are counted, the shift that hit its numbers is on a board somewhere. What is usually thin is the moment where somebody actually gets something for it. The entries are the recognition you already hand out, and the draw is what makes them worth having. Once a month is a rhythm people start watching for, and it is the case the subscription is for.Programs already track the hard part: attendance, safety milestones, the shift that hit its numbers.

2. A booth, across three days. A flyer on the table, a QR code, and a prize a day. You can set when entry opens, so three codes on one flyer open one per morning of the show. Nobody scans Saturday’s code on Friday and gets refused.
3. The end of a seminar. Run the draw as the close, in front of a room that just spent an hour with you. Ask for an email when they enter and you have the list afterwards. The export unlocks once you have drawn, which is the same moment the room is watching anyway.
All three are an event with a room, and that is what geRaff runs today. A shop’s Friday tournament counts, because the people are there and the code is on the counter. A code in the window for whoever walks past, or a link posted publicly, is a different thing. Strangers entering need published rules and confirmed entries, and that path is coming rather than something you can switch on now.
Nobody pays to enter, ever. There is no way to charge for entry in geRaff, so this stays a reward rather than a collection.
One party a year is not a subscription.
Most workplaces run one or two of these a year, and a recurring line item for that is a harder approval than the prize itself. So there is a version you buy once.
The other rhythm is small and often, with no event to plan. That is what the subscription is for.
Run your next one on the screen everyone is already looking at.
One raffle for the party, or a subscription if you do this every month. Showtime comes with both, and with the free plan too.
