Casino Insures Million-Dollar Monday Night Football Promotion

Are you ready for some football?  This northwest casino property sure is!

Every Monday night of the NFL season, the casino will be insuring Odds On Promotions’  Lucky Envelopes promotion, featuring a custom game board.  To qualify, players need to sign-up during a pre-determined timeframe.  Players can qualify for additional entries every Monday based on the number of points earned on their player’s card.  If their name is the one announced that Monday evening, they’ll be the one participating in the million dollar promotion!

Here’s how the promotion itself will work: The “football player” will be placed on the 0-yard line located on the left-hand side of the game board.  The player will then choose  4 our of 25 envelopes which are displayed on the game board.  The inserts within the envelopes contain varying yardages which will advance the player across the field, toward the end zone.

If the total yardage of all 4 envelopes chosen adds up 100 yards (i.e. touchdown) then the player will be an instant $1,000,000 winner… and Odds On Promotions will pay for the prize!

And here’s a bonus: The casino won’t be letting the players leave empty-handed for playing!  If the total yardage amount of all 4 envelopes ends up being less than the 100 yards needed to win the insured $1,000,000 prize, then the player will choose 1 of 3 additional envelopes provided.  The yardage inside that lucky envelope will be multiplied by the total yardage achieved to determine the cash prize which will be awarded to the player!  Additional cash prizes and football merchandise will also be awarded throughout the day.

Kentucky Furniture Store Insures Football Conditional Rebate

If you work in the retail industry, chances are you’re looking to increase your sales…  Well, we have a great promotion story for you that comes from a furniture store in Kentucky, and we encourage you all to feel free to steal this idea:

During a week-long promotional period, customers of the furniture store who make purchases will have the opportunity to receive a 100% rebate!  Surely you’re wondering what has to happen in order for them to receive it…

After the week long sale ends, a college football game will take place.  And here’s where the prize insurance element kicks in: if the game results in a “shutout” (that is, if either team fails to post a score above zero), there will be some extremely happy customers… because depending on which team they’re rooting to shut out, they could win a 100% rebate on their purchase(s) … and Odds On Promotions will pick up the tab, relieving the furniture store of any risk!  Quite the win-win situation!

“What makes this promotion so unique is the fact that each customer is able to decide which team they want their rebate tied to”, explains Damien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager with Odds On.  “This is a great way to engage fans of both teams and not make either one feel left out.”

Interested in insuring a conditional rebate of your own?  Great news: there are multiple ways to insure one!  Whether it’s a weather-based conditional rebate where customers receive a 100% rebate on purchases made during a particular timeframe if it snows, rains or reaches a certain temperature on the specified promotion date, or if it’s a sports-based conditional rebate like this one, where customers receive a 100% rebate if your local team wins the big game, hits a grand slam, scores a defensive touchdown, etc. — Odds On can insure it!

Give us a call today at 888-827-2249 to receive a free, no-obligation quote on a conditional rebate promotion from one of our marketing specialists.  You can also email us, if you’d rather!

Southeast Football Team Insures $10K Kick for Cash Promotion

To incentivize fans to wear red to  a particular football game, a college football team in the Southeast is insuring a promotion that’s sure to draw a huge crowd: a Kick for Cash promotion!

On the specified promotion date, one lucky fan wearing red at the game will be selected to participate in a field goal kick!  If the fan can successfully kick a football through the goal posts, they’ll be an instant $10,000 winner and Odds On Promotions pay for the prize!

“Insuring a sports promotion at any of your season games is a great way to not only attract a crowd, but also incentivize fans to fulfill your goals — in this instance, wearing a particular color at a game to show support,” explains Linda Thomson, Sports Promotion Specialist at Odds On.  “While you’re watching the stands fill up with loyal supporters of your team, fans will be excited to have a chance to participate in a contest that could potentially score them some major dough.  It’s a win-win situation for everyone.”

Dodge Dealer Uses Darts to Drive Traffic

This nothing short of amazing promotion comes to us from Kansas, where a Dodge dealer increased traffic to the dealership with a Lucky Envelopes promotion.  The unique aspect to this promotion?  A lucky customer got at shot at winning a Dodge Dart for throwing darts!

On the specified promotion date, one randomly selected customer got the chance to approach a dart board, which was divvied up into numbered sections correlating with Lucky Envelope numbers, and throw two darts.  After letting the lucky customer throw the darts, the dealer opened the two corresponding envelopes to see if matching grand prize symbols were revealed inside of the envelopes’ inserts.  If so, they would have won a brand new Dodge Dart valued at $30,000… and Odds On Promotions would have paid for the prize!

Looking for more unique envelope-opening ideas for your clients?  Get them to participate in a wheel spin!  Have numbers on each section of the wheel — and whichever number the wheel lands on is the one they’ll open!  Or, blow up “X”  number of balloons, which each contain a numbered piece of paper inside, then have your customers pop the balloons at random to see which numbered envelope they’ll be opening!
