The exciting part of trivia – the prizes! Get ready to unleash your imagination and make those prizes shine. Here are some suggestions to spark your creativity:
- Bar or restaurant incentives: Boost your venue’s business by offering prizes that keep customers coming back for more. Consider bar or restaurant vouchers that entice winners to return and enjoy their winnings, whether it’s a round of drinks, a gourmet meal, or tasty appetisers. Unlike a cash prize, the cost to your venue is minimal compared to the perceived value that your patrons could win.
- Themed goodies: Align your prizes with a particular theme to add an extra element of fun. If you’re hosting a sports-themed trivia night, offer sports merchandise or game tickets as prizes. For music buffs, consider concert tickets or
- Creative consumables: Treat your winners with delectable delights. Offer a selection of craft beers, a bottle of fine wine, or a gourmet food basket filled with delicious treats. Edible prizes are always a hit!
- Unique experiences: Go big and offer unforgettable experiences that will have your participants buzzing with excitement. How about a weekend getaway, movie tickets, or an adventure activity like skydiving or hot air ballooning? These grand prizes will leave a lasting impression.
- Old supplier gifts: Many venues often have heaps of memorabilia and giveaway merchandise stocked up behind the counter collecting dust. Why not pull out some of this merchandise and use as a prize.
- Use local businesses: Building relationships with local businesses has plenty of benefits. By including prizes in your trivia night to help your local business owners will be a great win win for everyone. You could offer the local butchers’ meat tray, or a gift card to a local shop. Just make sure the prize is worth more than a pack of stale gum.
Remember, the prizes you enter into the system will be displayed on your promo reel during the show. So, consider the visual appeal and value of the prizes to captivate your audience. Let your creativity flow and choose prizes that will make your patrons eager to play and eagerly anticipate your future trivia events.
Happy prize planning, and may the trivia excitement soar!
