Hot Wheels, Cool Deals

Looking to drive traffic this spring and summer? How about giving your customers the chance to win a sizzlin’ hot set of wheels or a cool down payment deal with a little help from Odds On Promotions.

It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

1. Advertise the chance to win a brand new vehicle, paid for by Odds On Promotions for coming to your dealership, registering and taking a test drive.

2. Odds On will ship you a set of Hot Wheels/Cool Deals Lucky Envelopes, each containing a miniature version of the vehicle you’re giving away in a variety of colors or featuring your logo.

3. At the end of your qualification period, select a lucky contestant or two and give them the chance to “Pick & Win”. If your lucky finalist finds the two cars out of the 20 with matching colors, they’ll score a set of hot wheels, paid for by Odds On. Or, they’ll get a self-sponsored cash prize that can be used for a down payment.

Or here’s an alternative: Take this promotion to another level and place 40 numbered toy cars or trucks on display. Your contestant then selects two “vehicles” and enters their numbers into our handheld verification unit. If the selected numbers match the preselected winning number, they’ll drive home a winner, and Odds On will write you a check. Kick this one up a notch by adding a custom game board.

To download a code reader to your phone, open your mobile browser and visit scan.mobi. Using your smartphone (or similar device), hold it up in front of the QR code (it’s the funny-looking black and white image on the right) and Damien’s message to you will appear on your phone.

400 Email Addresses Obtained in 3 Hours

Promotion Aimed at Graduating Seniors a Big Success

Dover, Del. – To make the most of their participation in Senior Day at the University of Delaware, Price Scion in New Castle gave graduating students the chance to win a brand new Scion, paid for by Odds On Promotions, if the last six digits of their Social Security number matched the last six digits of the displayed Scion’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).

According to Sasha Walsh, Director of Marketing for Price Auto Group, “This is a young audience – graduating seniors – so we put a Scion on display.  We had the Seniors  complete a survey and then they got a chance to see if they had the matching numbers. There was a huge line and as they waited, they got a chance to speak with our sales staff. This was a very successful promotion for us. We collected 400 emails in roughly a three hour time span.”

While there was no grand prize winner, those who participated didn’t go away empty handed. The dealership handed out a number of promotional items provided by Scion.
