Credit Union Promotions: Lucky Envelopes Games at Sponsor Locations!

credit union promotions - lucky envelopesAre you looking for exciting credit union promotions that will help increase traffic to your location and give customers the chance to win the big bucks?  Then you’re going to enjoy reading about these two promotions that we insured for a Georgia-based company.

A vehicle buying service, that partner with a number of credit unions, decided to insure a Lucky Envelopes promotion on two separate dates at two separate credit union locations.

At the first credit union location, one lucky customer was pre-selected to open 1 of 50 envelopes, one of which contained a grand prize winning insert.  If they chose correctly, they would have won $25,000… paid for by Odds On.

On the second promotion date, at the other credit union location, another pre-selected customer had the chance the select from 1 of 50 envelopes.  This time, if they managed to select the envelope which contained the grand prize winning insert, they would have won $20,000 paid for by Odds On Promotions!

Odds On’s Lucky Envelopes contests, which can be conducted in many different ways, make great credit union promotions because they can be used with a variety of themes – such as holidays and/or special events such as graduations. What’s more, Odds On can even supply you with a stock or customized game board to create a truly eye-catching display.  For a fast and easy quote, contact Odds On today at 888-827-2249 or email us.

Conference Promotions: Here’s a Great Idea for Your Next Event!

conference promotions - lucky envelopesLooking to add some sizzle to an upcoming conference? A Texas-based company in the housing industry recently teamed up with a building products sponsor and was looking for some conference promotions.  Odds On was able to help them to insure a Pick ‘Til You Win Lucky Envelopes contest designed to increase traffic and attendance to their local “Buyer Group” meeting.

On the promotion date, one conference attendee chosen at random via raffle had the opportunity to select from 5 of 40 of Odds On Promotions‘ Lucky Envelopes.  Contained within each of the 40 envelopes were inserts, each of which indicated a prize.  Eighteen of the inserts contained a trip for two prize, 17 inserts were worth a brand new Yeti Cooler and 5 were worth the insured grand prize — $25,000, paid for by Odds On!  Both the trip and cooler were client/sponsor-provided.

As you may already know, the great thing about a Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelope game is that no one goes home empty handed, which is what makes this our favorite out of all of the different envelope games we have to offer.

The contestant just kept choosing and opening envelopes until they collected 5 matching inserts, which indicated the prize they had won.

This conference promotion ended up being such a success that the companies will be doing another promotion, in the exact same way, at their National Conference this Fall.

Bingo Winner Scores $1,000,000, Odds On Promotions Writes the Check!

Bingo-Winner-SlesinskyVerona, NY – On June 29, 2013, Frances Slesinsky of Binghamton won $1,000,000, courtesy of Turning Stone Resort Casino and paid for by Odds On Promotions. Slesinsky won the enormous cash prize, the largest jackpot in Turning Stone’s 20-year history, during a Million Dollar Matinee Bingo Session.

During the final game of the session, the casino offered a minimum payout of $25,000 for Level 3 players. However, if any player was able to cover all the numbers on a bingo card in 47 draws or less, they would take home a million dollar jackpot, which was insured by Odds On Promotions.

As luck would have it, Slesinsky got the final number she needed, “I-26”, on exactly the 47th draw, landing her in the Turning Stone record books and scoring a life-changing million dollar prize.

The million dollar promotion was the first event of Turning Stone’s month long 20th-anniversary celebration, which ran from June 29th through the end of July and featured big ticket giveaways, major casino gaming tournaments, special parties and events.

Casinos – drive traffic and increase play at your casino property by insuring a sports sponsorship promotion!

Media (radio stations, TV stations and newspapers) – get your audience to participate on a weekly basis by publishing an official entry form and contest rules in-print or online each week asking participants to predict the week’s winners in the NFL, NCAA, NASCAR or any sporting event and submit them. Draw a select number of finalists and if one of them correctly picks the winners, Odds On will pay for the insured prize!
