Overview

If your club is a member of Pitchero, Pitchero will create automated marketing to drive your members aged over 18 to your Lottery landing page. This will be a combination of banner advertising across your club website and marketing emails. 

Pitchero will send the following emails:

  • The 1st day of each month announcing the new month's draw (to eligible non-lottery players)
  • Midway through the month
  • On the 19th of each month, 24 hours before the deadline for the draw

As well as this marketing, we strongly recommend clubs to create their own marketing and promote the Lottery to all members aged over 18.

To help you do this, we have created:

  • Text - example text to use in emails, articles and social media
  • Standard banners - to use with articles and social media posts
  • Custom banners - customer banners with your club logo on
  • Prints - order free printed posters and flyers sent direct to your home address

See a link to the Marketing Text and Banners article here.

Plus, we have created a draft marketing plan full of ideas to help get your club started. See the below section

Please share the marketing assets and plans with your fellow club members

Marketing Plan

Go Live

Actions

Lottery page live

Pitchero staff will contact you when your Lottery page is live. A link will be added to your club navigation and your club control panel will be updated.

Share the news

Once the page is live, we recommend all clubs share the link with ALL club officials, volunteers and team coaches.

Please make them aware of the new fundraising initiative and how they can support the cause by promoting the lottery.

Include links to the help centre where volunteers can view answers to FAQs and download marketing material.

You may have groups for volunteers, players and parents. Ask parents to forward the link and re-share with friends and family members.
