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.

Wesley Chapel, Fla. –Charles Schmidt recently won $20,000, courtesy of Wesley Chapel Hyundai, and paid for by Odds On Promotions, during Wesley Chapel’s $20,000 Moneyplay prize giveaway.   Schmidt won big cash prize after he scanned a barcoded mail piece at the dealership.

The scan and win direct mail promotion, which was developed for the dealership by Traffic Advertising and PERQs, gave recipients the chance to win a variety of prizes ranging from gift cards to iPads to  golf carts,  simply for presenting the mailer at the dealership and scanning the barcode to find out what they had won.

According to Allyson Frazier, Account Coordinator with Traffic Advertising, the dealership’s advertising agency, “We run several promotions with a number of different dealerships and we offer a variety of prizes.   It’s one thing to give away gift cards, and iPads  – but giving away such big prizes like a car or the chance to win $20,000, it really does make a difference. The big prizes bring people in, they get people excited. Maybe they aren’t expecting to make the purchase, but they end up buying because they are there. ”

“Not only was this mailer effective in driving lots of foot-traffic, but the dealer sold cars.  And of course, everyone was so excited that we had a winner. I think Mrs. Schmidt was even more excited than Mr. Schmidt, “ continued Frazier.

And as for the claims process, “I was there when they presented the check. The turnaround took a few weeks, but the process was very smooth. It wasn’t difficult at all,” explained Frazier.
