Prize Coverage Helps Michigan Harley Dealership Achieve Results

Promotions incorporating prize coverage, when used inconjuction with your regular advertising, can be a very effective tool for increasing foot traffic to your automotive or retail location. It’s often so effective that some companies use prize coverage on a regular basis to ensure that they are getting the most out of every advertising dollar spent.

Prize Coverage Works for Harley Dealer

This February, the dealership contacted Odds On to insure a weekend-long prize vault promotion. Each customer who visited the Harley dealership had a chance to enter a 5-digit number of their choice into the prize vault. If that 5-digit number happened to match Odds On’s preselected grand prize 5-digit number, the lucky customer would have won a brand new motorcycle, valued at $22,000… and Odds On would have written the check for the prize!

While no one managed to guess the winning combination of numbers, a large amount of traffic was directed to the dealership and much excitement was experienced by each and every customer who participated. Because of this, the Harley dealership came back to Odds On Promotions, for another promotion featuring giant prize coverage. For their second promotion during the month of March the dealership opted for a St. Patrick’s Day-themed “Pot O’ Gold” Video Scratch & Win promotion using Odds On’s new Lite kiosk!

On St. Patrick’s Day weekend, customers who enter the dealership will have the opportunity to select 6 spots on the Video Scratch & Win game’s touchscreen. If a customer happens to choose 6 spots, all of which contain a pot of gold symbol, they’ll be a brand new Harley owner! The bike itself is worth $18,500… and Odds On Promotions will gladly pay for the prize should the “Luck of the Irish” be with any customer who manages to find those 6 lucky pots of gold!

Golf Contests at the Toshiba Classic: Over $1,000,000 Insured!

We’re happy to announce that Odds On Promotions, as well as our sister company, Hole In One International, both teamed up to help insure a couple of fabulous golf contests at the Toshiba Classic this year! One on March 12, 2013, and the other will occur on March 17, 2013.

You may remember last year when we insured the Shot From the Top during the Toshiba Classic, which was insured for $10,000. This time, they upped the ante quite a bit… and insured two separate golf contests which were worth over $1,000,000 in cash and prizes, compliments of Odds On Promotions and Hole In One International.

Golf Contests: Ball Within a Circle & Million Dollar Shootout

The first golf contest was a Ball in the Circle promotion, which occurred on March 12, 2013. The contest consisted of five teams. Each team contained one tour professional, one celebrity, and one media member. Each of them teed off from the 10th hole at the renowned Newport Beach Country Club. If the golf ball came to a complete rest within the circle on the green, that player would have been awarded $50,000… compliments of Odds On Promotions! That’s five times the prize value of last year’s contest! And it gets even better…

A Million Dollar Shootout will also be held on March 17th, where two amateur golfers and one tour professional will have a chance to take a shot from the 185-yard hole #17 at Newport Beach Country Club for a chance to win $1,000,000, compliments of Hole In One International, should they end up acing the hole and making a hole in one! Needless to say, we can’t wait to see how that golf contest ends up playing out and we hope to be privileged enough to insure a golf contest at next year’s Toshiba Classic as well!

Golf contests can be insured anywhere, any place, any time and are not only a great way to increase excitement, but increase fundraising dollars as well. No matter what your specific goals happen to be, give Odds On Promotions a call at 888-827-2249 and we’ll help you come up with a golf contest that is best suited for your company/organization’s needs.

March Basketball Madness: An Online NCAA Bracket Promotion!

Looking for a way to capitalize on the March basketball madness, also know as the NCAA Men’s Championship Tournament, while increasing website traffic and gathering marketing information for your company’s database in the process? Want to award your customers, fans and/or players big for assisting in doing so? Then you’ll definitely want to know all about Odds On’s Online Championship Challenge basketball prediction promotion!

This “set it and forget it” online promotion makes running a rewarding basketball contest truly hassle-free! The contests includes a $1,000,000 grand prize that’s paid for by Odds On, a free second-chance Final 16 contest that keeps customers engaged until the end of the tournament, and a customizable interface featuring your logo and the ability to award self-insured prizes to both top-scoring and randomly selected contestants!

This particular March basketball promotion is on fire this season! In fact, we have quite a few clients who are embracing The Madness … among them, a casino property based out of the Midwest and a baseball team (yeah, that right, baseball) in the Southeast!

Both promotions, however, are unique in their own way…

The casino property will be having players pick up a unique promo code at the casino and then return the following day to access the online bracket and make their picks. Exclusive cash drawings will occur every hour as an incentive to keep players on-site. If any of the players end up guessing a select number of bracket winners, they’ll win $100,000 and Odds On will pick up the tab!

Meanwhile, the minor league baseball team will be insuring the promotion in order to stay engaged with their fans via their website, awarding the winner $50,000, paid for by Odds On. But that’s not all — if a lesser number of picks are accurately guessed, there will be smaller prizes of $5,000 (also paid for by Odds On) as well as a client-insured prize of $500!

Customers will simply scratch off a total of 6 surfaces on the card — no more, no less.
