Conditional Rebate Winner: $10,000 Pray for Rain Promotion

Conditional Rebate WinnerMars, Penn. – For most couples, rainy weather on your wedding day isn’t usually a cause for celebration, but that wasn’t the case for newlyweds and conditional rebate winner Nicholas and Courtney Calderone. That’s because the Calderone’s recently received a check for $10,000, courtesy of Casa D’Oro Jewelers, and paid for by Odds On Promotions, after it rained 1.09″ on their big day.

To increase visibility and drive engagement ring sales, Reza Liaghat, owner of Casa D’Oro Jewelers runs a very popular “Pray for Rain” promotion where he gives “unlucky” couples a refund of up to $10,000 if it rains 1 inch or more on their wedding day.

According to Odds On’s Damien Anderson, who worked with Liaghat on the promotion, “Weather promotions are a very effective tool for helping retailers stand out from their competitors during the holiday season. Another client, The Diamond Vault, runs a Snow Day Giveaway where anyone that makes a purchase between November 25th and December 24th gets a 100% rebate if it snows 6″ or more on New Year’s Day.”

Along with promotions tied to foul weather, Anderson notes that Odds On also runs promotions based on the weather being unseasonably warm, “If you buy an all-wheel-drive vehicle, snow blower, or a snowmobile, you want to be able to use it. Having a ‘Warm Weather Guarantee’ can be an effective tool for closing big ticket sales.”

Want to learn more about using weather (or sports) to drive increased traffic and close more sales? Looking for a chance to have a possible conditional rebate winner of your own? Email or give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249.

Fishing Contest Winner Lassos Record-Breaking Shark, Scores $20K

fishing contest winner - david rogersMiss. Man Lassos Record-Breaking Shark at Deep Sea Rodeo
Odds On Promotions Writes the Check for $20,000

Gulfport, Miss. – Congratulations to David Rogers of Mobile, Ala., our latest fishing contest winner, who not only broke two state records during the 69th Annual Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo this summer, he also won $20,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Rogers won the big bucks as part of the Rodeo’s Shark Bounty: if any angler was able to land a state record-breaking Tiger Shark before the scales closed on July 4, 2016, they would win $20,000.

Rogers’ prize winning catch, a 390-pounder, broke – or should we say, annihilated – a six-year record that was set in 2010 for a 173-pound Tiger Shark. He also landed a record setting 203-pound Bull Shark. Even more surprising, he broke both records in a single day!

Check out the amazing press Rogers received for his catch.

Interested in offering participants in your next special event the chance to win a prize for a record-setting performance? Interested in more winning fishing contest ideas? Email or give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 to learn more.
