Strategies and tactics for devising a Prize Distribution Plan

  • ⛳️ Strategy 1: Calculate prizes based on tiered value

    • Allocate a high-value prize tier (e.g. 5% of recipients) with significant prizes
    • Set a medium-value prize tier (e.g. 15% of recipients) with moderate prizes
    • Establish a low-value prize tier (e.g. 30% of recipients) with smaller prizes
    • Ensure that 2500 members from the total receive some level of prize
    • Calculate individual prize values within each tier
    • Factor in a portion of the fund as organiser profit
    • Adjust prize values to ensure total distribution doesn't exceed prize budget
    • Ensure transparency in the prize allocation process
    • Communicate the tiered prize structure to draw participants
  • ⛳️ Strategy 2: Offer a mix of cash and non-cash prizes

    • Decide the percentage of prizes that will be in cash
    • Determine popular non-cash prizes that appeal to the audience
