A quiz night can be an effective and reasonably simple way to make money. This article will look at how to run a successful quiz night, including hiring the right venue, getting the quiz packs together and how much to charge as an entrance fee.
Get the Word Out
Without people willing to come to your quiz night, you’ll make nothing. So advertising it is obviously a key ingredient. How you do this will depend on the target audience. If you are a landlord you could put up some posters and let your regulars know about the upcoming quiz.
An excellent method of collecting email addresses of potential quiz participants is to put a large jar or some other container on the bar with a sign telling people to drop their business cards in for the chance to win some great prizes. This can quickly allow you to get a good number of email addresses so you could email them details of you quiz night.
If you are trying to raise money for a school then send letters to the parents of the school telling them about the quiz evening and prizes (which I’ll talk about a bit later…)
