Conditional Rebate Promotion Heats Up Sales for Pool Supply Company

conditional rebate promotion - weatherWhat if I told you that you could build an effective sales promotion around the weather?

Whether it’s temperature, rain, snow, wind, sleet, or even a Sharknado, Odds On can insure a conditional rebate promotion to help your business increase sales during a specified promotional period.

This spring, a pool supply company based out of Wisconsin contacted us with a fabulous weather-based conditional rebate promotion: If the temperature reached 100 degrees or above on the 4th of July, then all purchases made by customers during the prior promotional period would be absolutely free to them.

That’s right, 100 degrees = 100% rebate.

Conditional Rebate Promotion: Multiple Types…

As I mentioned before, a conditional rebate can be weather, temperature or even sports-based conditional rebates!  For example: if your local team wins the big game, hits a grand slam, scores a defensive touchdown, or whatever the conditional happens to be… then all purchases made by customers during your promotional period will be free!  You can get as creative as you wish – based upon your business – and they are easy to run.

You simply advertise the chance to win big for stopping by, use the rebate to help you close additional sales and then wait for the specified “condition” to take place.

Basketball Contests Insured at Trade Show Event: $55,000 In Prizes!

basketball contests - a trio at the trade showPlanning on attending an upcoming trade show event?  Looking for a fabulous promotion idea — or better yet, multiple promotion ideas?  Zak Woodhead, Risk Manger with Odds On Promotions, is here to encourage you to check out the basketball contests that this Home Builder & Remodelers Association (HBRA) in the Northeast insured during a trade show event!

During this two-day-long promotion, the HBRA insured a trio of basketball contests: a half court shot contest, a series shootout promotion and a three point thrills contest.

During the half court shot contest, one attendee was selected at random to make a basket from the half court line.  If they ended up shooting and scoring, they would have driven home in style… in a brand new vehicle valued at $35,000, paid for by Odds On!

Another random attendee was selected to participate in a series shootout promotion, in which the lucky attendee got a total of 25 seconds to make a lay-up, a shot from behind the free-throw line, a shot from behind the three-point line and a shot from behind the half-court line.  If all four prize shots were successfully made within the allotted amount of time, then that particular attendee would have been an instant $10,000 winner… again, compliments of Odds On.

Finally, a third attendee was selected to participate in the three-point thrills contest.  The attendee had 25 seconds to make ten shots, five of which were three-pointers, from various locations on the basketball court.  If they succeeded?  Another $10,000… and Odds On would have written the check!

While unfortunately, there were no winners, fun was had by all.  Interested in insuring multiple basketball promotions of your own?  Interested in any other sport(s)?  Give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote.  You can also email us with any questions you may have!

Baseball Promotion Worth $1,000,000 Insured By Trading Card Company

baseball promotion - beat the streakIt doesn’t matter what kind of business you are, anyone can insure a baseball promotion!  Just take it from Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager with Odds On Promotions who’s working with a large trading card company to insure a “hit the streak” baseball promotion that’s sure to be a homerun with the company’s customers all season long!

Big Dollar Baseball Promotion

During this 7-month-long baseball promotion, customers who purchase trading cards will receive a unique code.  After logging onto the company’s website, customers will create an account and use their code to ‘unlock’ a baseball player.  The more cards a customer purchases, the more opportunities they’ll have to score another code, log on and unlock additional players!

Each day, customers will utilize their “team” of  unlocked players to choose one that they think will get a hit that day.  If the chosen player ends up getting a hit, then a ‘streak’ is started.  If any customer ends up breaking the 56-game hitting streak, then Odds On will pay out… to the tune of $1,000,000!  Smaller client-insured prizes will also be given away during the course of the promotion.
