Columbia Sales Inc. has been manufacturing Tip Boards and games of chance since the 1930's. We understand the importance of raising a fast profit for your charitable event or local establishment. Our customers understand that "tipboards" can generate instant cash while keeping their customers engaged.
Our Top Priority at Columbia Sales is to manufacture an industry leading, quality tipboard.
We will provide answers to your questions on how to use our novelty ticket games and achieve a fast and profitable return.
The simplest explanation is a “self-contained” raffle.
An establishment or event will take an item of value (Merchandise, Sports Tickets, Money, etc…) and allow patrons/guests a chance to win the item.
Each user will purchase and pull a ticket from the board. The price for each tip varies per game. When all of the tips are gone, the owner will scratch the bullseye seal (using a coin or gently with small penknife) to reveal the winning tip number.
Sure Tip Boards are very easy to learn and play. Each “tip” will have a number printed on it. After all the “tips” or tickets are sold, the seal is scratched and the winning number is revealed. The tip that matches the number under the seal is the winner.
Regular Tipboards provide an additional element to our raffle boards. On each Tip or ticket, there are two numbers printed. On the board, there is a “Tip” number and hidden number under the bullseye seal. The winning ticket will match both numbers.
All tip board games can be converted to a Jar Tip Board by request. These games allow special variations and you can reward different prizes for multiple tickets.
Tip Boards are commonly used in the following environments:
The profit is all determined by you.
There are many creative uses for sure tip games, that is part of the fun, being able to come up with your own way to use it.
For example, you want to raffle off a pair of event tickets that have been donated to your cause. The item is worth $50.
The size of the tip board determines the amount of money you will bring in.
You determine you may have a small crowd and decide to use a 24 Sure Tip Board.
You sell 1 ticket for $5 dollars.
24 tickets x $5 = $120
You made $70 in profit.
If you are running a large event, maybe you want a tip board with more tickets. It’s best to determine how many people will play and find the best game to fit the participation level.
Determine your audience and how much the item is worth. You determine the profit by how many tickets you plan on selling and the overall cost per tip.
Understanding the value of the item you are raffling off and how many individuals will participate will help you determine the best tip board. If the item has value, people will play.
