Baseball Contests and Promotions

Are you a college/university or professional baseball team looking to not only increase fan attendence, and generate some major excitement in the process?  Now is the perfect time to step up to the plate and check out Odds On’s winning line-up of  grand prize baseball promotions, which can be insured up to $1,000,000.

Ready to knock one right out of the park this season? Check out a few of our favorite ideas…

 

 

1.) Homer Hole Baseball Promotion
Homer Holes are a great, cost-effective way of generating excitement among your fans!  Simply place a sign/template past the wall of the outfield.  If a big hitter ends up knocking the ball through the hole cut in the template, a preselected fan will win your grand prize and Odds On Promotions will be there to write the check!  Some ideas on how to pre-qualify your fan(s) consist of a t-shirt toss, lucky seat or raffle drawing.  The choice is strictly up to you!

 

 

2.) Hit for the Cycle Baseball Promotion
Easy as 1-2-3!  First (1), choose the game or series.  Next (2), wait to see if your star player hits a single, double, triple and a home run.  Lastly (3), if they do, then one extremely lucky fan will score a new ride, paid for by Odds On Promotions!  This is the perfect opportunity to get your local Honda or Harley-Davidson dealership involved as the sponsor of the promotion!

 

 

3.) Grand Slam Inning Baseball Promotion
Not only an ideal promotion to insure all season long, but also a great way of keeping your fans in the stands late in the game!  Simply pick an inning geared for excitement.  If any member of the home team hits a Grand Slam, a randomly selected fan leaves a winner!  On a tight budget?  Cut the cost of the prize insurance by choosing the fourth batter as your lucky star of the game.

The Return of Supercoin…

Some of you might remember NBC affiliate KRBC based out of Abilene, Texas who insured the Supercoin promotion with Odds On last year.  Well, here’s some exciting news: for the second time in a row, an airplane maintenance company based out of the Southwest will be insuring the same promotion… again!

During a local Chamber of Commerce business gathering, 10 attendees will participate in a pre-qualifier.  The winner of the pre-qualifier will then be given a chance to bounce a coin off of a table from 15 feet away into a water jug.  If the contestant is able to successfully do so within 30 seconds, then they’ll be the winner of a brand new Cessna Skycatcher single-engine airplane, valued at $150,000!

Still not impressed?  What if we told you that Odds On Promotions is able to insure any sort of skills-based contest or promotion?  Whether you’re looking to insure a giant prize cornhole promotion or even a tortilla toss contest, Odds On has you covered!  We’ll insure anything with a risk associated to the contest/promotion, so think of all of the possibilities and give us a call at 888-827-2249 once you’ve thought of a promotion that will best suit your business or organization.  You can also email us for a free, no-obligation quote!

A Foot or More of Snow Could Mean Free Purchases for Customers!

Looking to increase traffic and sales at your retail location this winter?  This story comes to us from a firewood and snow removal company in the Northeast, who is insuring a conditional weather promotion.

According to Odds On Promotions’ Risk Manager, Zak Woodhead, for a month and a half, customers who make purchases from this particular company will have a chance to receive a 100% rebate on all purchases made if at least 12 inches of snow falls on Christmas Day!  That’s right, a foot of snow will mean that all customers who bought anything during the promotional period will receive their money back, compliments of Odds On Promotions.  Talk about an incentive to make purchase!

The great part about insuring a weather-based conditional rebate is that you can use any sort of weather, and any condition!  For example, you can insurance a conditional rebate where customers will receive a 100% rebate on purchases made if the temperature reaches above 100 degrees on a specific day.  Or, insure a “reverse” conditional rebate, where the rebate will be paid out if less than x inches of rain falls during a given season.

Interested in learning how you can use weather to boost sales for your business?  Give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote!  Or, you can email us for more information… one of our marketing specialists will be in contact with you before you can say, “Let it snow!”

P.S.  Be sure to check out our sports-based conditional rebates as well!
