3. Scratch Card

A scratch card is a fun and interactive way to give away various small prizes to generate leads or reward loyal customers. The prize only becomes visible when the participant has scratched the card. This creates an exciting ‘thrill’ for the participant.

Scratch cards are often printed on paper with a silver scratch layer. The costs for the printing and distribution are relatively high. And because the cards are only used once, it also has a high impact on the environment. An online scratch card is a better choice in that regard.
