Auto Dealer Runs Winning Championship Game Giveaway

Grand Junction, Colo. — Congratulations to Johnathan Oakley who won $10,000 on Super Sunday, thanks to an auto dealer promotion from Modern Classic Motors, and paid for by Odds On Promotions. Oakley won the giant prize after the Denver Broncos won this year’s Super Bowl.

Late last summer, before the start of the NFL season, Modern Classic Motors contacted Odds On to set up a season-long football promotion with a goal of giving back to the community, raising awareness and driving traffic.

The premise was simple: if the Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl, a lucky registered contestant would win $10,000, paid for by Odds On.

To get a chance to win, all someone needed to do was visit Modern Classic Motors, complete a registration form during the NFL season, and start rooting for Denver to win the championship game.

On February 6, the day before the big game, Modern Classic Motors selected a lucky winner, whose name was announced after Denver won. Turns out Oakley was the big winner who received an equally big check – all just for stopping by the dealership and filling out a registration form. And just check out the great PR the dealership received just a few days prior to the big game.

Looking for an easy way to boost your foot-traffic? You can easily run this auto dealer promotion tied to your team winning any championship … whether that’s the World Series, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Finals, the NBA Finals, or an NCAA or NFL Bowl game.

Door Hanger Promotions Driving Traffic in Southwest

Wonder if your mail pieces are breaking through the clutter? Looking for an innovative way to kick off a grand opening of a new location? Want to meet your customers right where they live? Door hanger promotions are an effective tool for getting your business noticed and with a little help from Odds On’s they can be an effective tool for driving foot-traffic as well.

This summer, a direct mail and print house based in the Southwest has consistently helped auto dealer clients achieve upwards of 2% response rates with a door hanger promotion insured by Odds On.

The door hangers invited residents to the dealership for a chance to win a brand new car, $2,500 in cash, or a 60″ big screen television, paid for by Odds On, if the code on their door hanger matched a pre-selected 5-digit code that was programmed into one of Odds On’s handheld verification units.

While there was no winning match, the dealerships received a 2% response rate.

Dice Roll Contest Insured by Radio Station Worth $40,000 Vehicle

Attention: radio stations! We’re here today to tell you how a dice roll contest is a fun and effective way of increasing both TSL for yourself and attendence for your sponsors/remotes! Just take it from this radio station based out of the Southeastern U.S. that insured a dice roll contest – for a brand new ride – at a local car dealership!

Wondering how it worked? Listeners tuned in to the station and were given exact details regarding the dice roll contest: where and when to show up, how the promotion would be conducted and the grand prize at stake. Come the day of the promotion, one randomly selected customer was chosen to participate in the dice roll promotion.

Radio station employees at the dealership gave the customer six of Odds On’s oversized 8″ dice a roll to see if they could end up with all six dice letter-side-up to reveal the word “W-I-N-N-E-R.” If they successfully did so, they would have scored a brand new vehicle valued at $40,000, courtesy of the dealership and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Insuring a dice roll contest is a great way to increase sponsor visibility, drive traffic, increase listenership and help give one of your loyal listeners the chance to win big!

Credit Union Promotions: Lucky Envelopes Games at Sponsor Locations!

Are you looking for exciting credit union promotions that will help increase traffic to your location and give customers the chance to win the big bucks? Then you’re going to enjoy reading about these two promotions that we insured for a Georgia-based company.

A vehicle buying service, that partner with a number of credit unions, decided to insure a Lucky Envelopes promotion on two separate dates at two separate credit union locations.

At the first credit union location, one lucky customer was pre-selected to open 1 of 50 envelopes, one of which contained a grand prize winning insert. If they chose correctly, they would have won $25,000… paid for by Odds On.

On the second promotion date, at the other credit union location, another pre-selected customer had the chance the select from 1 of 50 envelopes. This time, if they managed to select the envelope which contained the grand prize winning insert, they would have won $20,000 paid for by Odds On Promotions!

Odds On’s Lucky Envelopes contests, which can be conducted in many different ways, make great credit union promotions because they can be used with a variety of themes – such as holidays and/or special events such as graduations. What’s more, Odds On can even supply you with a stock or customized game board to create a truly eye-catching display. For a fast and easy quote, contact Odds On today at 888-827-2249 or email us.
