Viewer Wins Ford In Television Station Football Promotion

Tulsa, Okla. –  Congratulations to Cathy Gunther who won a brand-new Ford in a television station football promotion, sponsored by the Oklahoma Ford Dealers.

Gunther won her new ride, valued at $45,000, as part of  KOKI Fox 23’s Kickoff and Win Sweepstakes, a season-long football promotion based around Fox’s Saturday night college football “Game of the Week”.

To participate, viewers visited the station’s website contest page and completed a quick registration form, every week during the promotion. Each week, the station would select one contestant who would not only get a chance to win the brand-new Ford if the opening kickoff was returned for a touchdown but would also win a weekly guaranteed prize: a services certificate valued at between $150 – $1,140 at one of the participating dealerships.

In addition to the weekly prize, everyone who participated also was entered to win a Bonus Prize at the end of the season: a $500 service certificate, a Yeti cooler, and two tailgate chairs.

On October 28, Saquon Barkley returned the opening kickoff 97-yards for a touchdown, during the Penn State vs Ohio State football game, winning Gunther her brand-new Ford.

Watch her pick up the keys to her new ride!

How a Texas Jewelry Store Boosted Sales With Snow …

For McFarlin’s Jewelry snowy weather and conditional rebate coverage lead to $100,000 in rebates and a very, very happy holiday season for dozens of shoppers!

Conditional Rebate Coverage Pays Off

It started last October 30, when McFarlin’s Jewelry posted a somewhat cryptic image on their Facebook page …

Shortly after, it was announced that customers who made purchases during the specified promotional period would receive a 100% rebate if it snowed 1″ or more on Christmas Day. The ‘praying’ that the jeweler advertised about paid off, as dozens of customers ended up having a Holiday Pay Day when they received a 100% rebate on all jewelry purchased during the promotional period – all thanks to mother nature, and paid for by Odds On Promotions!

Are you a retailer looking to increase sales and traffic at your location? Interested in insuring a weather-based conditional rebate of your own? Whether you want to insure the promotion for if it reaches over 100 degrees on the 4th of July, x inches of snowfall on Christmas or New Year’s Day, or even a certain amount of rain on Easter Sunday, we’re here to help! Contact Odds On Promotions today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote!

Who knows… your customers could be the next to be awarded a 100% rebate on their purchases while you reap the rewards of awesome publicity, as well as not having to worry about assuming the risk!

Texas Man Reels In $33,000 Truck!

Longview, Tex. –  Mike Hunter of Longview won a brand new $33,000 truck, paid for by Odds On Promotions, during the KYKX 105.7 Big Bass Bonanza.   Hunter won his new ride when the bass he caught weighed in at exactly 5.700 lbs.

According to Harlen Lobley, Director of Sales for Alpha Media, the multi-day tournament is one of the best-known fishing events in East Texas, attracting roughly 1500 anglers. Along with the chance to win a truck in the Exact Weight Match promotion, the tournament also featured hourly prizes and a grand prize package valued at over $100,000.

“We’ve been running the Exact Weight promotion for many years now. We chose 5.700 because one of our stations is 105.7.  Mike thought the fish was about 5-6 pounds so he figured he had a good chance to win $300 for catching the 2nd place big fish that hour.  It was a real shock when we realized the fish weighed in at exactly 5.700,” explained Lobley.

“We’ve had anglers come close before but this was really exciting. Folks are still talking about it,” he continued.

While Hunter won his choice of two trucks ( a 2015 Toyota Tundra courtesy of Patterson of Marshall Toyota Scion or a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 courtesy of Patterson of Marshall Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram), he opted for the Toyota.

“Our Odds On Representative, Evelyn Golding, is fun to work with. She’s prompt, professional and has great ideas. We’ve done several promotions together…  Mystery Mascots, Hot Air Balloon dice drops, Lucky Reindeer –  but this was our first winner.  The claims process went exactly as I expected it would.  There were no problems – no surprises. Everything went as expected. I figured it would take a couple of weeks, and that’s exactly how long it took. I was very happy with the claims process and the contest sponsor is very satisfied,” noted Lobley.
