3. Personalize Your Campaigns for Each Customer

Your Scratch Card may look great, with a modern and innovative design, but if it doesn’t connect with your customers, it’s not useful. Personalization creates a stronger connection with users, making the promotion feel unique.

Use the visual customization available in the control panel. Adjust the colors and design of the scratch card to align with your brand’s identity and the campaign’s theme.

5. Create Urgency with Limited Availability

Not all good things last forever! The idea is to renew your promotion offers to your customers so they don’t get bored and you can attract the right audience. By limiting the number of prizes or the duration of the promotion, you create a sense of scarcity that encourages quick participation. That’s a good tip to implement, right?

Set how many prizes can be won and make sure that they will not be repeated once they have been used up.

6. Increase Conversions by Offering Instant Rewards

In a world where immediacy is everything, users are much more motivated to take action when they know they will receive an instant reward. The chance to win on the spot creates immediate gratification, which increases participation and excitement among your customers.

Offer discount coupons or free products that can be claimed instantly when the card is scratched, driving not only the excitement of the game but also real-time conversions.
