Conditional Rebate Worth Over $1,000,000 Insured by Furniture Store

Check out how this furniture store in California increased traffic to their locations and generated sales in the days leading up to Super Sunday using a sports related conditional rebate promotion insured by Odds On Promotions.

In the weeks leading up to Super Sunday, customers who made purchases at the furniture store had the chance to win a 100% rebate, if the 49ers shut out the Ravens on game day! That’s right, if the 49ers held their opponent to zero, customers would PAY zero… compliments of Odds On!

According to Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager with Odds On Promotions, “Conditional rebates are a great way to generate revenue and traffic — especially when you center it around a huge national sporting event such as Super Sunday.”

Woodhead noted, “Of course a conditional rebate doesn’t need to be sports-based. Conditional rebates can be weather-based as well. For example, if it reaches 100 degrees or more on a specified promotional date, customers can receive their purchases free – or if a certain amount of snowfall occurs on x date, customers can get a 100% rebate on items purchased during the promotional period. There are many different possibilities when it comes to conditional rebates, which makes them one of my favorite retail promotions for our clients.”

Number Match Promotion Valued at $50K Insured at Boat Show

Participating in a large event, such as a trade show? Why not incentivize attendees to visit your booth by insuring a grand prize number match promotion with Odds On Promotions, like this Florida boat dealer did at their local boat show!

Here’s exactly how it worked: the client’s local newspaper printed 10,000 inserts for distribution in the Sunday paper prior to the boat show. Each insert contained a unique 6-digit number. Readers who attended the boat show would present their newspaper insert and use Odds On’s handheld verification unit to enter in their 6-digit number. If the number they entered ended up matching Odds On’s preselected 6-digit number, then that lucky attendee would have scored $50,000… compliments of Odds On Promotions!

While unfortunately, no one managed to guess the lucky number, traffic was still increased to the boat show and the promotion generated much excitement among attendees!

Looking to attract a crowd to your casino property as well as give players a chance to win a big grand prize, courtesy of Odds On’s prize coverage? Then check out the casino promotion that this property in Louisiana will be insuring at their location: a Lucky Envelopes contest!

While a Lucky Envelopes contest can be held in multiple formats, this casino decided to have 10 pre-selected players choose from 2 of 25 envelopes. If the inserts within the two envelopes they choose end up containing grand prize inserts (one featuring a picture of the front of a truck; the other, a picture of the back of a truck) then they’ll win — yep, you guessed it: a brand new truck, valued at $30,000! And Odds On will pick up the tab!

But that’s not all! It’s not “Game Over” if one players happens to correctly guess which two winning Lucky Envelopes contain the grand prize inserts! That’s because to increase the excitement, this casino will be insuring the promotion for 2 winners! That’s right: if two players end up choosing both winning envelopes, they’ll each win the $30,000 truck! Talk about one heck of a casino promotion!

March Promotion Idea: Men’s Basketball Tournament Lucky Envelopes!

Here’s a fun March promotion idea that can help you tap into the excitement surrounding the NCAA Basketball Tournaments: a “Pick the Finalists” Lucky Envelopes contest.

This March promotion can be run a few different ways. For example, you can have a lucky contestant take a shot at picking the final 4 teams of the tournament by selecting four Lucky Envelopes from a total of 64 Lucky Envelopes each containing the name of one of the teams. If the four team names inside the envelopes match the final four finalists, they’ll score your grand prize, paid for by Odds On Promotions!

Want the odds to be more in your contestants’ favor? Then have your contestants choose 4 of 16 envelopes in a “Super 16” format, where they’ll attempt to collect envelopes possessing inserts which contain one of the 16 teams. Again, if they can successfully choose the envelopes with the final few team names, they’ll be awarded the grand prize and Odds On will cut the check for the prize!

In both instances you will want to award secondary prizes of increasing value based on how many correct team names were collected. Check out our “Net Big Cash” game board that’s featured in this blog post for a better presentation for your promotion and feel free to contact us for a free quote!

Hockey Promotion Worth $100K Insured at Opening Night Hockey Game

Attention: Hockey teams! College, University, Professional or otherwise… are you looking for a hockey promotion to insure at your next game that will increase attendance and generate fan excitement? This Canadian hockey team insured a red line shootout promotion on their opening night, giving fans a chance to win big, compliments of Odds On!

Hockey Promotion: How it Worked

As a huge “Welcome Back” gift to their loyal fans, this hockey team insured a red line shootout contest during their opening night game. One fan, chosen via Lucky Seat, got the chance to come down to center ice and take a shot from behind the red line. If the lucky contestant successfully made the shot, that lucky fan would have been an instant $100,000 winner and Odds On would have written a check for the prize!

Unfortunately, the lucky fan didn’t make the grand prize hockey shot; however, much excitement was generated among the fans and everyone had a great time watching the promotion!
