Scratch off cards make great promotional materials, and being able to create your own makes it extremely low cost.
Terra from Easy Scratch Offs is fantastic to work with. When you visit her website which focuses on scratch off promotional materials, there are two main options when it comes to purchasing - scratch off cards or just scratch off stickers.
Scratch off cards would be the finished product, complete with the scratch off sticker. All cards are personalized, featuring your logo and prizes.
Purchasing just scratch off stickers gives you the ability to create your own cards to place the scratch off on. The stickers alone are about half the price (depending on which stickers you choose), however you will need to create your own cards.
It was my pleasure to test out 3 different types of stickers - 1″ Gold, 1 1/4″ Silver, and 3/4″ Silver Heart. Each work about the same, but the sizes are different. I made several test cards to place them on, and each were extremely easy. My personal favorite would have to be the heart shaped stickers which feature “Scratch Here” even though they were the smallest. I liked the unique design, and though it added something special to the card. Scratching to see the prize was also easy to do, and worked just like any scratch off card you may have seen in the past.
Scratch off cards are an excellent way to promote, and give customers something extra to do with their purchase. They also stand out better than any normal coupons and draw more attention to your business.

“Chipotle” is not a term I’m familiar with, but it sure did sound interesting. I’m a sucker for most any kind of dip, and I was more than willing to try this one out.
Right out of the package I knew this was going to be a hit - before the mix was even opened I could smell it through the bag! Wow! Talk about making someone hungry with a scent.
There were easy instructions right on the back, and the dip very quick to make. All I had to do was put in two ingredients, and then put in the fridge for an hour. I made it just before we made supper, so we would have it in time for supper that night.
It was a huge hit! Just a few of the ingredients in the dip were chili pepper, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Due to those “spicy” ingredients, I worried how much my kids would like it. While it had a “kick”, it wasn’t too spicy for my kids in the least. The entire family loved it, and we’ll definitely have to make this again.
Lori Kennedy, owner of Lori’s Coffee Corner, had mentioned this was a big hit at her son’s birthday party. I now see why! In addition to this dip, also available is Fiesta Salsa, Greek Dip, Bell Pepper, Homestyle Dip, Dilly Dip, and many others. Lori’s site also offers many other mixes such as dessert, milkshake, rice, meals, muffins, and more. You can visit her site at:

Foaming hand soap is a fun way to get kids to wash hands. Add natural ingredients and a great smell, and you get a product the entire family loves.
Foaming Hand Soap may not be unique, but the particular soap offered by The Natural Newborn isn’t like ones you may see in stores. This hand soap is not only fun for little ones, but it’s natural too - it contains absolutely no chemicals!
This item was a huge hit with my kids, mostly because of the “foaming” ability and its large pump. The pump is perfect for little hands, and even my 3 yr old has no problems using it on her own. The only problem we’ve had is she now washes her hands too much!
My youngest daughter absolutely LOVES this soap! After we introduced to her and she was shown how to use it, she was constantly saying “I have to go wash my hands now!”
I’ve never seen her willingly wash her hands for no reason this many times a day.
In addition to being fun and natural, the hand soap smells great, and my daughter is constantly saying “smell my hands!”. We like the smell as well, and our entire bathroom now smells like watermelon almost all the time.
The Natural Newborn has several other items especially for toddlers, including foaming body wash, skin & body care, hair care items, and more. You’ll even find products just for mom as well!
