Facebook Sweepstakes Insured by Rhode Island Lottery |

facebook sweepstakes - rhode island lotteryWant to increase  online visibility, obtain valuable marketing information, and gather plenty of Facebook ‘likes’ with a Facebook sweepstakes?

This fall, The Rhode Island Lottery did exactly that by hosting a Facebook sweepstakes, with a little help from Odds On Promotions.

For a month-long period, the sweepstakes was available to all fans of The Rhode Island Lottery Facebook page.  Registering for a chance to win was simple… individuals simply ‘liked’ the organization’s Facebook page (if they haven’t already) and enter in their name and email address for a chance to win a pair of VIP tickets to a New England Patriots game including a free parking pass and admission to the Tailgate Party.

Bank Insures $25K Scratch Card Promotion at Tradeshow

Looking to increase traffic at your next big event or tradeshow?  Then how about insuring a customizable scratch card promotion, just like this U.S. Bank location in the Midwest did?

On the specified promotion date, attendees of the tradeshow who showed up at the bank’s booth were given a customizable scratch card, featuring U.S. Bank’s name and logo.  If an attendee managed to scratch off 6 areas on the card, revealing “stacks of cash” symbols, then they’d be an instant $25,000 winner and Odds On Promotions would pay for the prize!

But that’s not all!  They also gave attendees an added incentive to stop by and check out their booth by including a registration form on the back of the scratch card and gave one lucky randomly drawn attendee a $250 VISA Gift Card… provided by U.S. Bank!

Want more information on how you can make your next event or tradeshow a real traffic-driving success?  Contact Odds On today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote or email us!  And be sure to check out our other tradeshow and event promotions.

Poker Run Promotion Worth $25,000 Benefits Veterans

poker run promotion - national guardLooking for the perfect Veteran’s Day fundraising promotion?  Look no further!  Just take notes from this Army National Guard in the Great Plains, who insured a poker run promotion which benefitted multiple Army non-profits.

On the specified promotion date, 550 eager motorcyclists showed up to the event, which took place at the National Guard’s headquarters.  Each participant rode to 5 separate stops/locations to pick up a poker card.  At the end of the event, each participant entered their highest five card poker hand into Odds On Promotions‘ Lucky Hand Poker Run Verification Machine.  If a participant’s five card poker hand ended up matching Odds On’s preselected poker hand, they would have won a brand new 2012 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic motorcycle, valued at $25,000.

While unfortunately, no one won the motorcycle, there was still a lot of good news to be had: Since each participant was charged $25 to participate in the poker run, that meant that $13,750 was fundraised that day!  Additionally, any club, organization, unit or chapter of this National Guard with the most paid entries received a $500 check if at least 400 riders attended the event that day (which they did)!

And last, but definitely not least, the good news is that no one went home empty-handed after the promotion, despite the fact that no one won the insured prize.  Smaller cash prizes were given to the 1st place, 2nd place and even lowest hand winner!

Want to insure a poker run promotion of your own and fundraise for a good cause?  Interested in any of our other fundraising contests we have to offer for non-profit organizations?  Give us a call today at 888-827-2249… or email us for more information!  We’d be happy to assist you in your fundraising endeavors!
