Our satisfied customers..

“Having been asked by a client to produce half a million prize draw cards for a schools promotion I researched online and decided on Proactive. From the outset Cliff and the team at Proactive could not have been more helpful with estimate after estimate and production advice over a 6 month period until the project finally came to fruition. Once in production Josh picked up the baton and provided the same excellent level of service and advice until the project was completed and delivered to a very satisfied client.”

“The team at Proactive Marketing, were great! Very helpful indeed and managed to hit our very tight deadline, Good quality product and excellent communication throughout..” 

B2B International

“Our company used Proactive South Ltd for the creation of some scratch cards for an event we attended. We were very impressed with the speed of turnaround, as we challenged them with a tight deadline – but they came through and produced excellent quality cards! Very happy, would definitely use again!”

Dr Schar

“Experience was fantastic – we had a tight deadline for a printing job and Proactive were unbelievably quick at delivering the product without taking away from the quality of the product. They were also extremely helpful in helping me with the artwork when I wasn’t 100% confident in my InDesign abilities. Would highly recommend!”

DB WOOD LTD

“Fantastic Service. Easy to deal with and very helpful. Turn around was quick providing an end product which was even better than expected.”

Quickly work through some basic questions to help you map out your requirements.

Sound good?

Have you ever not scratched a scratch card?

We’re guessing not – and neither have we. And we’d be willing to bet (no pun intended) that your customers are the same as you and us. There’s just something about scratch cards that makes them irresistible.

Maybe it’s that feeling of winning, of getting something for nothing – but there’s no denying scratch cards are seen, read and (if you win!) remembered.

scratch card marketing

Give your customers an itch they can scratch?

In a world where we are all bombarded with advertising, so much of it is all too easy to ignore. Leaflets can be casually discarded, radio advertising is gone and forgotten by the time of the next travel bulletin and local newspaper advertising is all too often interspersed among the property pages or classifieds.

The recent increase in the number of major retail chains using online vouchers bears testament to the success of the ‘something for nothing’ approach to marketing. Scratch cards and vouchers have the same unique capacity to:

  • attract new customers
  • keep existing customers happy
  • bring past customers back to you
  • promote new product lines
  • sell slow-moving product lines

Scratch cards are different. For a start, your customer feels lucky – even special – when they ‘win’. And the fact that your customer has to scratch to find out if they’ve won means the scratch card is already way ahead of almost every other form of marketing in its ability to capture the attention of whoever you give it to. In fact, we can’t think of a single more effective way of holding your customers’ attention short of you finding the time to stop people in the street and tell them one at a time why they should try your product or service.

So why don’t more small businesses use scratch cards to promote themselves?

It’s a good question… the main reason is cost.

Many business owners do what they’ve always done, and leaflets are often the first port of call. Scratch cards are either not on their radar as a tool for marketing their business, or they’re perceived to be too expensive to make them a viable proposition.

The different processes involved in producing a scratch card can make them relatively expensive on a small scale. To overcome this, we’ve streamlined our production processes so you don’t pay the set-up costs usually associated with scratch card printing.

We won’t print your scratch cards on their own – that’s when it gets expensive – for most projects we’ll print them at the same time as lots of other scratch cards and we pass those savings on to you. This means you can order as few as 5,000 scratch cards and still benefit from the bulk-buy pricing we can provide.

Scratch card printing with www.printscratchcards.com ensures quality and makes financial sense.

But I don’t know where to start with designing a scratch card!

You don’t need to. The technical expertise required to create scratch card artwork is an issue for many business owners and marketing managers, and it’s probably not something your local / in-house graphic designer has had much experience of. That’s why we’ve developed a proven process for ensuring the best results from designing scratch cards which takes full account of all the little details which could otherwise be over-looked.

We’ll design your scratch cards to match your existing brand or create something completely new but we’ll also ensure, for example, that the ink density is just right so it doesn’t show through the scratch panels, that the scratch panels are positioned correctly – details you don’t need to worry about because we’ll take care of the whole process from start to finish.

So what do I do now?

Well, the first step is to decide whether your requirements fit into one of our ‘standard’ scratch card sizes which are suitable for most promotions. They come in six sizes – Regular, Super, A5, A6, A7, and 1/3 of A4.

These allow you to use your own artwork (which we’d love to help you with) and offer a prize structure which provides a combination of flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

If the standard products don’t meet your criteria, don’t panic! We can do just about anything – budget permitting. Non-standard products are more expensive, but offer almost limitless flexibility and we would be happy to help explore exciting ways to bring your project to life.
