Auto Dealer Runs Winning Championship Game Giveaway

Grand Junction, Colo. — Congratulations to Johnathan Oakley who won $10,000 on Super Sunday, thanks to an auto dealer promotion from Modern Classic Motors, and paid for by Odds On Promotions. Oakley won the giant prize after the Denver Broncos won this year’s Super Bowl.

Late last summer, before the start of the NFL season, Modern Classic Motors contacted Odds On to set up a season-long football promotion with a goal of giving back to the community, raising awareness and driving traffic.

The premise was simple: if the Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl, a lucky registered contestant would win $10,000, paid for by Odds On.

To get a chance to win, all someone needed to do was visit Modern Classic Motors, complete a registration form during the NFL season, and start rooting for Denver to win the championship game.

On February 6, the day before the big game, Modern Classic Motors selected a lucky winner, whose name was announced after Denver won. Turns out Oakley was the big winner who received an equally big check – all just for stopping by the dealership and filling out a registration form. And just check out the great PR the dealership received just a few days prior to the big game.

Looking for an easy way to boost your foot-traffic? You can easily run this auto dealer promotion tied to your team winning any championship … whether that’s the World Series, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Finals, the NBA Finals, or an NCAA or NFL Bowl game.

Bank Promotion Ideas: How About a Lucky Envelopes Contest?

Are you looking for some great bank promotion ideas that will help you increase traffic at your location as well as offsite special events? Here’s a fun promotion a Missouri bank ran at a local festival: a Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelopes contest.

During the four-day-long festival, one lucky attendee each evening was selected to play Odds On’s Lucky Envelopes game. Each of the four participants got the chance to pick from 40 envelopes on display, each of which held one of three different prize symbols. Whichever symbol the contestant got “five” of first, was the prize that they would win!

In this case, the prizes consisted of $2,000 cash, $2,500 cash… and an insured grand prize of $15,000 cash, compliments of the bank and paid for by Odds On! Although no one ended picking the five grand prize inserts right off the bat, all four contestants left with a tidy sum in their pockets, thanks to their friendly local bank!

Pick ‘Til You Win is one of my favorite Lucky Envelope games, because every participant leaves a winner regardless of what envelopes they select. And did you know that Odds On can also supply you with optional money bags to store your envelopes in, or even a stock or customized game board to increase the visibility and appeal of your promotion? Or, if you’d rather, you can use your own props — whether they be cases, beer steins or otherwise!

Horse Racing Promotions: Performance Bonus Prizes for Jockeys/Owners

Odds On Promotions can insure just about anything, so long as there is a risk associated with it — and that even includes horse racing promotions, believe it or not!

Check out this particular promotion that comes to us from an insurance agency based out of Texas, which helped a racecourse in the East Coast to insure a Player Performance contest for the 10th year in a row! Oh… and did we mention that they’ve had a $250,000 winner in the past?

During the promotional period, prize insurance was in place during three separate races of the season. If the same New York thoroughbred horse ended up winning all three races, then the owner(s) of the horse would have been awarded $250,000… compliments of the insurance agency and paid for by Odds On!

The great part about horse racing promotions is that they don’t have to be limited to performance bonuses. Odds On can also insure a vast variety of conditional promotions and parlays. Not to mention all of the other non-skills based contests we have to offer, such as jumbo dice rolls, horseshoe tosses, Lucky Envelope games and more!

For more information on horse racing promotions, feel free to give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote. Or, you can email us any time for more information!

Baseball Contest Ideas: Home Run Derby Worth $30K

baseball contest ideas - homerun derby In need of some baseball contest ideas that will increase fan attendance and engagement at your next big game? If so, then you’re going to absolutely love hearing about this baseball promotion we helped a Minor League team in the Northeastern U.S. to insure as part of their Opening Day
— a Home Run Derby Contest!

Here’s how the baseball contest worked … on Opening Day, one lucky fan, chosen via raffle ticket, was selected to take three swings at a baseball off of a hitting tee placed at home plate. If they successfully “hit one deep” over the six-foot-high fence, they would have been awarded generously – with a brand new truck valued at $30,000, compliments of the sponsor and paid for by Odds On.

While unfortunately, the fan who was selected didn’t score the vehicle, they still had an absolute blast — as did all of the other fans!

While winning an insured grand prize is always nice, it’s definitely not all that counts. When I think about what qualifies as a “winning promotion”, I tend to think about factors such as increased attendance, fan excitement, and interaction… as well as capturing valuable marketing information from your fans! Speaking of which, be sure to check out our Online Contest Registration.
