With wages stagnate and the cost of living increasing, many individuals are finding themselves working more hours to make ends meet. In addition to the many negative health effects that result from the increased stress and decreased sleep that results, millions of dollars are being lost every year because consumers that would like to travel simply do not have the time.

Going on a chartered tour can be a great way to spend the weekend. Unfortunately, the availability of such tours in some areas throughout the United States is being threatened. How can these struggling tour companies stay afloat? How about using a little prize wheel fun?

1. Pull out the prize wheel. If a small business has already recognized the amazing utility of a prize wheel and found success in the past, pull it out of storage. If prize wheels are news to a small business, however, finding a quality wheel online is an obvious first step.

2. Purchase a prize wheel. These high quality wheels come in a wide variety of sizes to suit all of your marketing needs. Simply evaluating the store layout will help any manager determine what size they can handle. With a little planning and an internet connection, finding the right prize wheel should present no challenge at all. Remember to find a product that you can reuse at a later stage in your marketing campaigns. Look for something that allows the customization of prize wedges and ease of assembly. Some online vendors offer free templates for prize wedges.

3. Find a good location. A city park is often one of the best places to hold a spin to win game. Be sure to check out the rules and regulations set forth by the city council, however. In the event that soliciting is prohibited, try to find a location that can offer similar exposure to the public. With a good knowledge of the layout of the city, finding a perfect spot should not be too challenging.

4. Play the game. Let everyone with a mind to play participate. Give thorough descriptions of the free tours being offered. This is the key to gaining new customers, let them know how great the tours are. In addition to offering a free trip as the grand prize, include discounts in the other slots to encourage potential customers to book a tour.

5. Get attention. If there does not seem to be a tremendous response, make some noise. Do not be afraid to speak out, the success of the business depends on it. Simply saying, “Spin to win a free tour! can make all the difference. Often, however, the click of the prize wheel is enough to grab the attention of any passersby. Go ahead, spin the wheel and watch how quickly others take notice.

6. Keep that prize wheel working. Because they are fully customizable, prize wheels can be used over and over. Place the prize wheel in the office and offer every paying customer a chance to win a prize. Customers will quickly realize that the fun can begin even before the bus takes off.
