MiLB Team Insures $50K Consecutive Target Throw

Are you a baseball team looking to provide your fans with plenty of entertainment during one of your upcoming games?  Take it from this Minor League Baseball team: choosing one lucky fan to participate in a three consecutive target throw promotion will have the crowd going wild!

On the specified game date, one lucky fan chosen at random via ticket will have the opportunity to throw three baseballs — one after another — through a 15″ target opening.  If all 3 balls successfully make it through, then Odds On Promotions will be cutting them a check for $50,000!

 

Up the ante, just as this team did, and throw in another baseball promotion during game season as well for added excitement… a Homer Hole promotion, for instance!  There’s no limit to how many promotions you can insure in a season, after all.

And whatever you do, don’t let your fans go home empty-handed!  Smaller sponsor-insured prizes during a target throw or homer hole contest such as team-branded merchandise (hats, t-shirts, water bottles, balls, etc.) or a pair of free game tickets are just a few examples of what you can award your qualifier(s) with if they don’t win Odds On’s insured grand prize!

Ready to “play ball” and secure your own grand prize coverage during one, two or even all of your baseball games of the season?  Give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 and we’ll help custom-tailor a baseball contest that’s best suited for you!  You can also email us at any time and request a copy of our Top 6 Baseball Promotions PDF for more great ideas!

Idaho Radio Group Insures $30K Golf Promotion

golf promotion - golf ballIf you’re looking for a golf promotion, you’re absolutely going to love this innovative contest that comes to us from a radio group out of Idaho.  Chances are that you’re even going to want to steal this idea for yourself after reading about it!

In order to increase listenership, a western radio group will be qualifying contestants each week prior to the promotion date.  These contestants will need to fly a golf ball into one of many floating rings that are set at various distances in order to participate in the promotion.  Now, surely you’re wondering what the final insured promotion consists of…

The first 10 contestants who were able to fly their ball into a ring will be heading to the local golf course where the promotion is being held, and will attempt to drive a floating golf ball into a 2-foot floating ring!  If the golf ball falls within the ring/circle, then that contestant will be the brand new owner of a truck valued at a whopping $30,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

This promotion is a great one to pair up with a hole-in-one, putting contest or million dollar shoot-out insurance policy from our sister company, Hole In One International!

Of course a golf course isn’t the only place you run this promotion!  You can run a “hole in one” or putting contest anywhere from your banquet halls, your tradeshow, or your showroom floor!  Why you can even give folks the chance to sink one in your outfield or on the basketball court. Yep, we can insure your future golf promotion any time, anywhere!

Be sure to give us a call at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote on any/all of the golf promotions Odds On has to offer… or email us for more information, or even if you have a unique golf promotion idea of your own!  If there’s a risk involved and no guaranteed winner, we can insure it without a problem!

P.S.  Play it safe out there — and make the most of a small space —  by using a Cayman ball!

MA Radio Group Holds 7-Digit Number Guess at Music Festival

number guess - money bagsAre you a radio group/station?  Is there a big event or tradeshow going on in your area?  Feel free to steal this idea that comes from a radio group out of Massachusetts, who will be teaming up with a local auto dealership to hold a 7-digit number guess at a local country music festival in order to add excitement to their booth at the event!

The first 500 listeners who stop by the booth that day will get a chance to guess how much money (which will be placed in Odds On Promotions‘ custom money bags displayed above), to the penny, is inside of a truck on display.  Guesses will be made using Odds On’s handheld verification unit, where attendees will be able to enter in their guess.

If the 7-digit number ($XX,XXX.XX) they enter exactly matches the dollar value inside of the truck, then they’ll be driving home a winner in it that day!  The value of the truck?  $40,000!

Want to make one of your dedicated listeners a grand prize winner with Odds On’s prize coverage?  Give us a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote and more information on a number guess contest, or any other contest you can think of!

MT Media Co. Insures Quacktacular 3-Digit Number Guess

Are you a radio station looking to increase foot traffic at one of your remotes, or celebrate the grand opening of a business in your area?  We have just the promotion for you: a 3-digit number guess… featuring lucky ducks, which is exactly what this media company out of Montana will be insuring through Odds On Promotions!

In order to celebrate the grand opening of a local recreational facility, the radio station will be choosing one attendee at random to choose 1 rubber duck from a pool of 250 to see if it will land them a grand prize. Here’s how it will work:

After choosing their duck, the participant will enter the 3-digit number on the bottom of it into Odds On’s handheld verification unit.  If the number matches Odds On’s preselected number, they’re an instant $50,000 winner… and we’ll be cutting the check, of course!

The great part about holding a number match featuring rubber ducks is the fact that there are so many different types available to best suit the theme and/or ‘feel’ of your promotion!  From vampire ducks (perfect for Halloween), Santa ducks (Christmas) and even lovey ducks (Valentine’s Day), no matter what the occasion, there’s sure to be a custom duck out there for you!

Interested in holding a 3-digit number match/Lucky Duck Pluck?  Call Odds On Promotions today at 888-827-2249 or email us for a free, no-obligation quote!

Having a Golf Tournament? Insure a Lucky Duck Pluck!

Looking to increase fundraising dollars at your next golf tournament? Want to insure something unique in addition to your hole-in-one, shootout or putting contest? Odds On Promotions has just the contest for you: a Lucky Duck Pluck!

Surely you’re wondering how it works. All you need to do is simply place a bunch of numbered rubber ducks in your golf course’s pond (or any other body of water). These rubber ducks can be your everyday traditional yellow rubber ducks or even “golfer” or “golf ball” ducks, as seen in this post. Feel free to have some fun and have a variety of different ducks floating around in there!

Tip: Have a major golf tournament sponsor? Here’s an idea — how about customizing your rubber ducks by including their logo on them?

Qualify your players to participate in the Lucky Duck Pluck via raffle, closest to the pin contest or other golf-related contest if your golf tournament is prior to the Lucky Duck Pluck, then have those qualifiers come back and select one “lucky duck” from the pond. Feel free to charge players $x to participate in order to fundraise for your cause!

Each rubber duck will contain a number. If the numbered duck the player selects happens to match Odds On Promotions’ pre-selected number, then they’re an instant winner… of any prize value you happen to choose, up to $1,000,000! There are multiple ways to have your players check to see if their duck is a winner. You can either use Odds On’s handheld verification unit or have the player call Odds On’s number verification hotline, enter the number on their duck and see if they’ve won!

Want to insure for multiple winners? No problem! You don’t have to insure for only 1 lucky duck — feel free to insure for 10 winners, for example, and have the total prize value (e.g. $100,000) split between each winning duck. That would mean that theoretically, 10 people could each win a $10,000 prize! You can also have a certain amount of rubber ducks (or all of them which aren’t the grand prize winning duck, for that matter) contain auxiliary prizes which can either be self-insured or provided by Odds On!

Want a free, no-obligation quote on this promotion? Feel free to give us a call at 888-827-2249 or email us at any time. Rest assured, we’ll help you customize your promotion to where you get the most bang for your buck!
