Radio Station & Rideshare Insure $100K Dice Roll

Are you in the media business?  Looking for an “outside-of-the-box” promotion idea that will be sure to boost ratings?  Then check out this one of a kind promotion that a Midwest radio station ran  through Odds On Promotions in partnership with a local rideshare program!

For 13 weeks, the radio station asked listeners to participate in a rideshare program, in attempt to save “100,000 miles”.

A total of 20 lucky listeners who took the “rideshare pledge” then got the chance  to win big in a dice roll promotion, where they got to roll 5 (five) eight-inch dice.  If all 5 dice spelled out “S-H-A-R-E”, then one lucky listener would instantly win $100,000!

Want to help a local non-profit draw attention to their cause? Give us a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us and we’ll assist you in coming up with a unique promotion of your own that will be sure to generate buzz among your community!

Multi-Species State Record Weight Fishing Promotion

state record weight fishing promotionPlan on hosting a fishing tournament or fishing derby in the near future?  Looking to increase excitement and give anglers a chance at “reeling in” the dough during the event?  Then how about running one big State Record Weight fishing promotion, featuring multiple species of fish, just as this particular marina in the Gulf Coast did!

For a 3-day period, 300 anglers at this fishing tournament were all in a race to catch various species of fish (yellowfin tuna, dolphin, wahoo, and blue marlin) and weigh them in to see if they would become the new State Record Weight holder for any of the aforementioned species of fish.

After weighing in their “catches of the day” on the official tournament scales, anyone who managed to beat the former State Record Weight for the respective species of fish would win anywhere between $50,000 – $250,000, depending on the species… and Odds On Promotions would have cut a check for the prize amount!

State Record Weight promotion not appealing to you?  No problem!  Odds On insures multiple fishing promotions, including (but not limited to) tagged fish promotions, matching weight promotions, fishing prediction promotions… and many more!

Call Odds On Promotions today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote and more information on your own state record weight fishing promotion.  You can also email us to request a copy of our Top 5 Fishing Promotions PDF, which includes details about the most popular fishing contests we have to offer!

Tennis Ball Toss Insured By SW Baseball Team Worth New Car!

Baseball teams: Looking for a great sponsor package/baseball promotion that’s sure to get your fans fired up? Feel free to steal this idea from a Southwestern baseball team that teamed up with a local car dealership to insure a tennis ball toss at the end of one of their games!

Here’s how it worked: The first 500 fans to register at the car dealership display on the concourse each received a numbered ball. At the end of the game, each of the fans got the chance to throw the ball, in hopes of sending it through a template placed on the car’s sunroof.  If a lucky fan landed the shot, the vehicle (valued at $13,000) would have been theirs to drive away in that day, compliments of Odds On Promotions!

Need more great target ideas?  How about giving fans the chance to win thousands in groceries for throwing a ball into a grocery cart or shopping bag,  compliments of a local grocery store sponsor?   Or, have fans toss the ball into an inflatable soda can in order to win big, courtesy of a beverage sponsor!  There are tons of possibilities!

Ready to “play ball?” Want to insure a tennis ball toss of your own? Call us today to toss around a few ideas, and to pick up a free, no-obligation quote, 888-827-2249.  You can also email us to request a copy of our Top 6 Baseball Promotions PDF!

Radio Station & Sponsor Run Promotions At Grocery Stores

Work for a TV or Radio Station? Be sure to take notes on this fabulous promotion, insured by a radio station in the Southeast, that teamed up with a beverage sponsor to run a Lucky Envelopes promotion at various grocery stores!

Here’s exactly how it worked: Over the span of a month, a member of the beverage sponsor’s “prize patrol” was sent to multiple stores with the goal of locating shoppers with a specific brand of beverage in their cart.  The first shopper who met the criteria that was spotted by the “prize patrol” was automatically selected to participate in a Lucky Envelopes promotion!

The lucky shopper selected at each store location got to select three envelopes, each of which had an insert that held various numbers, out of a total of 15.  If the 3 inserts within added up to 100 – the station’s call number, they could instantly become a $10,000 winner… and Odds On Promotions will be there to pay for prize!

Fun idea: If you plan on stealing this promotion idea, be sure to contact Odds On Promotions! We can create a custom gameboard in any shape (i.e. soda can, beer bottle, chip bag) which will display your envelopes in the most “attention-grabbing” manner possible!

In addition to giving shoppers the chance to win the big bucks, the radio station also gave away free prizes to shoppers including grocery store gift cards, iTunes gift cards, performing arts center gift cards, concert tickets… and even a 3 day/2 night stay at a local bed & breakfast!
