Lucky Envelopes Promotions for Every Business!

Scare up more traffic and sales this October with a Lucky Envelopes promotion! Not only are Lucky Envelopes a fun and affordable way to reward customers, drive traffic, and create a buzz about your business, but they can easily be customized to suit any situation, business, budget or event …

It all starts with selecting the right Lucky Envelopes game and the attention-getting grand prize of your choice.

Check out a few of our favorite October Lucky Envelope promotions below…

Simple & Affordable: The Lucky Pumpkin Pick …
It doesn’t get any easier than this! Purchase a bunch of plastic trick-or-treat “pumpkins” and create a “Patch of Cash and Prizes” display. Place a Lucky Envelope in each pumpkin. If a lucky contestant picks the right pumpkin, they’ll score your grand prize. Or take home a smaller consolation prize.

Truck or Treat Promotion: Qualify 2 contestants in any manner you choose and then give them each the chance to select from a series of Halloween “treat” bags placed on display. Inside each bag you’ll place a Lucky Envelope that contains either the word “Treat” and a number (dollar value) or the word “Truck”. Your contestants will each pick a bag and simultaneously open their “envelopes”. If they pick just right, they’ll each bag a new truck – paid for by Odds On. Or, they’ll take home the self-sponsored consolation prize. This promotion can be adjusted to suit any budget and feature your choice of grand or consolation prizes… up to $1,000,000.

Cauldron of Cash and Prizes: In this Lucky Envelope game, which features an optional customizable gameboard, qualifying contestants get to select three Lucky Envelopes, each of which holds a dollar amount. If the total adds up to $100, they’ll score $100,000, paid for by Odds On! Or, they will take home the total of the dollar amount as a self-sponsored consolation prize. Again, prizes and totals can be customized (i.e. $310 or $1,300, etc) to suit your budget and event.

Monster Cash! Ready to go big with your next Lucky Envelopes promotion? Check out Monster Cash, where if a lucky contestant finds a winning combination of monsters, they’ll score one of three monster cash prizes! Here’s how it works! Odds On will ship you a customizable game board and one set of Lucky Envelopes for every contestant. Inside each Lucky Envelope is one of three different “monster” symbols, each representing one of the three prizes you’d like to give away – one insured grand prize and two self-sponsored consolation prizes. Contestants then select and open Lucky Envelopes until they have collected 5 of any single symbol, winning the indicated prize. If they pick just right, they’ll bag your grand prize – insurable for up to $1,000,000, and paid for by Odds On. Again, this promotion can be adjusted to suit any budget and feature your choice of grand or consolation prizes.

Golf Contest Worth $25K Insured at Golf Academy

Looking for a golf contest that will give your clients and customers something to talk about? Then you’ll love this putting contest story, which comes to us from a golf academy in the West, who teamed up with a local sports bar in order to achieve a few key sales and marketing objectives for both companies.

Prior to the promotional date, individuals who visited a local sports bar during Monday Night Football games received a raffle ticket. At the end of the promotional period, 16 individuals were chosen via raffle to participate in the insured golf contest held at the golf academy: a 3-putt-combination putting contest, insured by Odds On.

Golf Contest: 3-putt Combination Putting Contest

Each finalist had the opportunity to make a 10, 30 and 43-foot putt; however, it was a process of elimination. Those who made the 10-foot putt proceeded to the 30-foot putt. Those who holed the 30-foot putt proceed on to the final 43-foot putt. All 3 putts had to be successfully completed in order for a finalist to win the insured prize — $25,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

While unfortunately, no one was able to hole all 3 putts, there were some close calls and both companies — the golf academy and the sports bar — were able to better advertise their businesses.

Looking for a golf contest of your own? Good news: you don’t have to be a golf course in order to insure one! Whether it’s at your retail location, a sports game or otherwise, we can insure it! For putting contests, be sure to inquire about our putting ramps! Give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us for a free, no-obligation quote!

Promotion Winner: Damen Gonzales Wins $10K in Dice Roll Contest

Seekonk, Mass. – DiParma Italian Table has been serving fine Italian fare to folks in New England for over 30 years, but when they teamed up with Rhode Island’s number one coupon magazine, Community Values of Rhode Island, they ended up serving one lucky diner $10,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

In a promotion designed to increase awareness and drive traffic to the restaurant’s Seekonk location, DiParma Italian Table gave readers of Community Values the chance to roll a set of four customized dice, featuring the DiParma logo, and win $10,000 or one of five consolation prizes: $3 off any entrée; BOGO (buy-one, get one) half-off lunch or brunch; free appetizers with entrée; and $10 off dinner for two.

After reading about the promotion, promotion winner Damen Gonzales visited DiParma and entered for a chance to win. On December 7, Gonzales got the call letting him know he was one of the 10 lucky finalists. On December 8th, Damen rolled the four 1” dice and received four matching DiParma logos, winning the giant $10,000 prize, just in time for the holidays! Watch the winning dice roll.

According to Tom Holt, with Community Values, who helped to create this winning promotion for advertiser DiParma, not only is Gonzales featured on DiParma’s February ad, but “DiParma is already talking about giving away a car next year!”
