Services

During our current economy while manufacturing is suffering, the service sector is doing quite well. However competition is fierce. Who makes it and who fails is often a mystery. However one thing is certain, service companies who make the customer experience “fun” always seem to prevail. And if “fun” is associated with a happy joyful environment, your likelihood of success can increase exponentially.

So, whatever your service sector business is, giving your buyers a positive “fun” experience will increase retention and loyalty.  A successful program consists of scratch-off tickets, and, if funds permit, include a ticket scratcher tool or other similar promotional imprinted with your logo/company name and phone number.

At every visit, give your customer a customized scratch-off ticket.  Vary the theme of the tickets based on the season, or other calendar events.  Scratch-off tickets look like lottery tickets, however the winning messages are customized gifts or incentives.  Winning messages could include many items or services you would normally give away, however when your customer wins it, it seems to have more meaning/value.  Everyone loves to scratch and win, so all tickets must be winner, however the prizes vary based on cost and other factors.  Customers will remember that your service company was a fun place to visit and will visit more often to see what else they win.  Scratch-off tickets are fun and it works!

Safety Program

  • Creates employee safety and program continuity
  • Keep employees feeling like they are a member of your corporate family
  • Captive game to provide incentives for safe employees
  • Everyone Wins!

Everyone talks safety, but how do you make it fun without compromising importance.  Our Continuity & Loyalty program is an easy game to setup, provides instant results and keeps your employees keyed into the importance of practicing safety!  At your “safety first” meeting, give employees a ticket scratcher tool imprinted with your logo.  The tool is completely safe, and guaranteed to last forever, so your corporate name and safety promotional continues forever long after the game part is over.

Award safety-oriented employees with a scratch-off ticket.  Scratch-off games may vary, however one popular game is “Scratch One.”  Scratch-off tickets look like lottery tickets, however the winning messages are customized.  We don’t recommend cash prizes because it looks like the employer is paying employees to be safe.  Better prizes are an extra vacation day, half-day paid leave, set of luggage, gift certificate, free dinner at local restaurant, etc.  Although these prizes may be something you have given away as incentives in the past, giving your safe employees a chance to win one of these prizes is way more fun and it makes your employee a winner.  And as your employees win, their loyalty continues and they remain a “safety first” employee forever!


This type of program could happen only once, or once a year or monthly.  The cost is very reasonable.  Contact Us for examples, more suggestions and/or pricing.

Play it SAFE!  Award employees who choose “Safety First.”

Product Sales

  • New Product Introductions
  • Tradeshow Sales
  • Increase Product Sales
  • Create Customer Loyalty
  • Keep Customers
  • Increase Rep & Distribution Sales

Keep ahead of the competition with this new and fun incentive program.  Continuity & Loyalty ticket scratcher program is easy to set up, provides instant results and promotes continued interest in your products!

Here’s an example:

  1. Mail each customer/prospect an imprinted ticket scratcher tool or other imprintable promotional item.  Sales reps can tell their customers to expect the imprinted promotional, or on a subsequent visit, your sales rep can bring one.
  2. Each month or following each new order, mail a customized scratch-off ticket to your customers/prospects.  Scratch-off tickets look like lottery tickets although instead of winning money, your customers/prospects get a chance to win something relevant to your product.  For example, winning messages/prizes could include free delivery, discounts on new featured products, courtesy consultation, free parking at your facility, etc.  The prizes could vary by season.  The prizes could be product related or completely different such as free lunch with your sales rep.  Whatever you choose, what makes this program successful is that winning is what it is all about.  One of our clients reported that appointments increased substantially when his sales rep brought buyers a new Ticket each month.  Winning a discount beats just getting one!

Another ticket scratcher program can be used to bring visitors to your trade show booth.  Refer to our client samples (below) for some great ideas on how you can create a Continuity & Loyalty program using custom scratch-off tickets and imprinted tools.

Your promotional reseller or our design team can assist you with layout and design.

Fund Raising

  • Fund Raising for Schools and Non Profits
  • Creates Community Loyalty
  • Makes it fun to give every year … Continuity
  • Easy to implement at district or school level
  • Everyone Wins!


A Continuity & Loyalty Program is an easy game to set up, it provides instant results and keeps the community involved.

Here’s an example of a successful Continuity & Loyalty Program for a local school.

  1. The Booster Club or students solicit local merchants to buy advertising on the scratch-off ticket.  Each advertiser specifies one prize.  For example, local pizza restaurant prize could be 3 additional toppings, or local bicycle shop could offer free bike accessory, etc.
  2. If budget allows, add an imprinted item such as the ticket scratcher tool.  Imprint name or logo of the school.  If the ticket scratcher tool is used it provides a convenient way to scratch off the ticket.  These tools are also multi-use and one of the uses is a safe TSA-approved box cutter.  Give a scratch off tool to each supporter as well as to each advertiser.
  3. Sell the advertiser-loaded scratch-off ticket to community supporters.  Selling price covers the cost of the scratch-off ticket plus a healthy profit used to fund special school programs … scratch-off tickets could sell for $10, $20, …
  4. The local merchants benefit from increased traffic, and of course, knowing that they helped their community.




Other programs, such as in one of the client samples (below) simply created a scratch-ticket with suggested amounts to donate.  The types of games are limitless.  This type of fund raising program is unique, innovative, and will likely continue every year with more local merchants participating.  Since everyone loves to scratch and win, the Tickets n’ Tools game makes your community a winner.  And when your community wins, their loyalty continues and merchants remain supporters forever!

Boat Sales

Are you in the boating industry?   Do you sell new, pre-owned, bargains, clearance, parts, boat loans, insurance, trailers, docks or supplies, implementing a Continuity & Loyalty program can be the key factor in being a success.

If you sell boats or charter yachts, or sell the new Seabob, or manufacture boats, then you know how important retention is and in keeping customers buying from you.

2-1/2 x 4" Scratch-off Ticket

To keep customers coming back or referring you to their friends and associates, give each customer a chance to win something.  And the easiest way to do that is with customized lottery tickets.  Instead of wining cash, your customers could win prizes such as reduced cost club membership, being added to a notification list of bargains and clearance items, 10 minute ride on a Seabob, discount on accessory items, reduced interest rates on a boat loan.  The types of prizes varies with the boating industry sector you are part of.

Our Products

Our most popular product is our custom scratch-off tickets.  Standard size is 2-1/2 x 4″.  Coated full color front side with any number of scratch-off messages (prize areas).  Backside is black on white, or white on black uncoated for your client to write their name and contact information.  Scratch-off areas can either be Gold or Silver and be any shape.  For example, a mortgage broker may want to make the scratch-offs the shape of a home.  When ordering, specify total number of tickets and how many tickets of each prize layout … i.e., 1,000 tickets with 600 prize A tickets, 390 prize B tickets and 10 prize C tickets.  If you would like, we can send you a SamplePak of custom scratch-off tickets.

Another popular product is our scratch-off tool.  This product is sold at retail outlets, convenience stores, and online, etc., under the trade name LotteryTool without an imprint.  However adding an imprinted label, or printing directly to the tool is a personalized option that strengthens loyalty and brand recognition.  The tools are made of quality glass composite plastic material, self sharpens with each use, TSA-approved and last forever!

All of our products are Made in the United States.

About Us

For ten years, Tickets n’ Tools LLC has been successfully developing quality Continuity & Loyalty Programs.  The basis of our programs include two components … custom scratch-off tickets and imprinted tools.  Simple programs usually consist of scratch-off tickets only, and for more complex loyalty programs, our clients have added imprinted scratch-off tools or other imprinted promotional items.

With our continuity & loyalty programs, everyone wins!  The best designed games have each player win something every time they play.  There is virtually no limit to the types of games that can be designed.  Some examples are included below.  For more information, consider purchasing an audio cassette (PS12) entitled, “Easy Money:  Building Repeat Sales with Continuity/Loyalty Programs,” by national speaker and author Glenn Lippman, and published (Jan 2003) by Advertising Specialties Institute (ASI), or just contact us, and we’ll work with you to design a customized program today.
