Media Promotion: Tune-In, Trade Up Thursdays

media promotionLooking to capture a new auto dealer client this Spring? Here’s a media promotion that will drive “trade-ins” and tune-ins: “Tune-in, Trade Up Thursdays!”

Each Thursday you’ll announce the “dealership of the day” giving your audience members the chance to WIN a new car with every “trade-in” at your live appearance with an Odometer Match promotion.

When customers stop by to strike a deal, they will get to enter the last few digits of their odometer reading into Odds On’s number verification unit. If the odometer reading matches the preselected number, your listener will drive home in a new car, and Odds On will pay full retail.

A variety of entry and verification methods are available to suit any budget!  Give us a call at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote or email us for more information!

Casino Promotion Worth $100K Insured at Mid-Atlantic Gaming Property

casino promotion - blizzard of cash zoom ballWhether your casino property is looking to attract more players and coin-in during the off-season or a notoriously low-traffic time frame, or if you’re just looking for something to generate excitement among your loyal players, Odds On has the perfect casino promotion for you!

This story comes to us from a casino property in the Mid-Atlantic, who used Odds On’s Zoom Ball promotion to help keep players on their property longer.

For two months this winter, the casino insured Odds On’s winter-themed “Blizzard of Cash” Zoom Ball casino promotion to increase play.   Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday during selected promotional periods, the casino randomly selected players, giving them the chance to participate in the promotion. The promotion official would then activate the ball blower and each player would press the big red button on the machine, sending 6 balls flying into the machine’s “Zoom Zone.”  If a contestant happened to get 6 blue-colored balls in the “Zone” they would have been an instant $100,000 winner, compliments of Odds On!

Casino Promotion Love Story: Valentine’s Day Zoom Ball!

casino promotionLove is in the air at this Southwest casino property!  That’s likely due to the fact that they’re giving players the chance to win the big bucks with a casino promotion from Odds On: Valentine’s Day Zoom Ball!

Here’s how this red hot casino promotion will work: during the month of February, qualifying players will have the opportunity to stop by the Zoom Ball machine and land 6 red balls in the machine’s “zoom zone.”  If one of them happens to do so, they’ll win an instant $1,000,000, paid for by Odds On!  Bonus: Anyone who gets 5 red balls in the zone, will walk away with $10,000, courtesy of Odds On!

Odds On’s Zoom Ball promotion comes complete with a customizable backlit sign, stock or customizable 3-sided cabinet wrap, and plugs into any standard outlet!  You can even choose what colored balls you’d like to use, as well as what color you’d like the LED light surrounding the sign to be!

In addition to providing prize coverage  for those who get  5 or 6 colored balls in the Zoom Zone, Odds On can assist with budgeting for smaller self-insured auxiliary prizes for those who get a smaller number of colored balls in the Zoom Zone. After all, no one likes leaving empty-handed … which is why Odds On recommends awarding $x in free play, or merchandise from one of your property’s gift shops or restaurants for those who get 2, 3 or 4 colored balls in the Zone.  Not only will your players be greatly appreciative, it will incentivize them to come back for your next big promotion!

Has this casino promotion made you fall in love yet?

On the infamous 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale, 30 amateur players had a chance to make a million dollar golf shot from 160 yards… for a chance to win $1,000,000, paid for by Hole In One International!  Dierks Bentley of country music fame ended up landing his shot 19 feet from the cup.  While no one aced the the Million Dollar Shootout, there were still some big victories that day — one of which consisted of giving Bentley’s designated charity — the Jordan Sterling Foundation– $35,000.  Runner-up Jim Pitman of the Phoenix Suns raised $25,000 for Phoenix Suns Charities and Dave Steiner of Waste Management raised $15,000 for his selected charity.
