Niverly Team
Instagram giveaways attract followers, but rarely loyal patients. When you focus on running a raffle in your actual patient base, you strengthen the relationship, increase retention, and reward those who already trust your work.
But drawing names using paper slips or ad-filled free websites doesn't look professional. In this guide, we'll show you how to conduct a professional, secure raffle with an automatic proof image using Niverly.
Why Raffle Among Your Own Patients?
Loyalty costs much less than acquiring new patients. By creating an exclusive raffle for those already in your contact base, you generate a sense of belonging and appreciation.
Immediate benefits:
- Increased Return Visits: Inactive patients may schedule new appointments when they feel remembered.
- Referrals: Engaged patients recommend your clinic to friends and family.
- Updated Data: A great excuse to ask them to update their registration via your public link.
How to Run a Patient Raffle (Step by Step)
Running a fair raffle requires transparency. Niverly has a complete raffle module built into your CRM.
1. Define the Prize and Rules
Choose something that has real value for the patient. It could be an aesthetic procedure, a product kit (e.g., an oral hygiene kit for dentists), or a discount on their next appointment.
2. Filter the Participants
In Niverly, you don't need to export spreadsheets. Just use the advanced filters:
- Patients registered within a specific period.
- Only patients from a certain group (e.g., "Orthodontics").
- Automatic duplicate blocking (patients who have already won don't participate again, ensuring fairness).
3. Run the Raffle and Generate Proof
When you click to draw, the system picks the winner and generates a PNG proof image.
What's in the proof:
- Winner's name and prize
- Date, exact time, and security protocol
- Your professional branding (if applicable to your plan)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to run a patient raffle online?
Yes. By using an integrated tool like Niverly, your patients' data is not exported to insecure third-party sites, ensuring compliance with privacy rules and an auditable process.
Does the system prevent the same patient from winning twice?
Niverly has a smart filter that allows you to exclude patients who have already won prizes in previous raffles, ensuring more people get a chance and maintaining fairness in your clinic.
Can I run a raffle just for a specific group of patients?
Absolutely. If you run a multidisciplinary clinic, you can filter participants by groups like 'Aesthetic Patients', 'Active Patients', or any category you created when organizing your base.
How do I prove the raffle result to the patients?
After the draw, the system automatically generates an image (PNG) proof with the date, time, winner's name, and security protocol. You can post it on Instagram or send it to your WhatsApp group.
Do I need to pay to use the raffle module?
The advanced raffle module, with filters and complete history, is part of Niverly's premium plans, but the platform offers a free trial and a basic plan so you can start organizing your base today.
