No Snow? Car Dealers Will Rebate Your Truck!

ATTENTION: Car Dealerships and Retailers! Looking to boost sales and increase foot traffic to your location?  Here’s a promotion idea you’re sure to love – and are more than welcome to steal…  a weather conditional rebate. But this one has a fabulous twist that will have customers singing, “Let it NOT snow” come this winter season!

A Northeast  auto dealership group which consists of 4 separate locations, will be running an interesting twist on the traditional weather conditional rebate promotion.  What’s the twist?  Well, each location will be handing over a rebate to customers if it snows less than 18 inches this winter!

That’s right – if it snows less than 18 inches, customers will see a portion of their money back on all purchases made during the sales promotion and Odds On will pay for it all!

As you may already know, most weather conditional rebates are insured based on based on there being  more than a certain amount of rainfall or snowfall… or if it’s more than a certain temperature (e.g. 100 degrees) outside.  But it works both ways!

“This type of ‘reverse’ weather conditional rebate is definitely unique and we love seeing it insured”, explains Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager with Odds On Promotions.  “Next time your thinking about running a conditional rebate promotion — and depending on where you live, of course — consider giving customers a rebate if it doesn’t snow on Christmas Day, or if it’s less than a certain temperature – 100 degrees, for example – outside on a specific day.  It really tends to enhance the promotional experience and make things even more exciting.”

CA Radio Station Insures $100K Birthday Match Promotion

Attention: radio stations!  Looking to boost your CUME and TSL?  Want to give all of those loyal listeners of yours a chance to win big just for tuning in?  Find out how this California radio station did just that… with a little help from Odds On Promotions!

All month long, in celebration of the radio station’s anniversary, listeners were able to call in to the station and give the DJ their birthday.  The DJ then input each caller’s birthday (2 digit month, 2 digit day and 2 digit year) into Odds On’s handheld verification system.

If the 6-digit number of their birthday (XX/XX/XX) happened to match Odds On’s preselected month, day and year, then the caller would have been an instant winner… and Odds On Promotions would have written them a check for $100,000!  All callers were given an auxiliary prize provided by the station just for playing!

Want to insure a Birthday Match promotion of your own?  Give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249… or email us!  And whatever you do, don’t forget to give your listeners consolation prizes for managing to match the month and year, or day and year… whatever the case may be!

P.S.  Would you rather use the last 4-5 digit’s of the caller’s social security number or driver’s license number instead?  No problem!  Check out Odds On’s promotions Born 2 Win and Licensed 2 Win for more details… and be sure to ask about our easy-to-use Online Verification System feature!
