Trade Show Promotion: $40K Video Scratch and Win Traffic Driver

Looking for a “magical” trade show promotion to insure at your next big event? Damien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager, is here to share a great contest with you, which comes from a food distributer in the Northeastern U.S.

I was contacted by a food distributor looking for ideas on how to increase traffic to their trade show booth. I suggested running one of Odds On’s Countertop Kiosk promotions, utilizing our “Magic Key” Video Scratch and Win contest!

Here’s how the trade show promotion worked: Attendees who stopped by their trade show booth were given a chance to select 6 spots on the kiosk game’s touchscreen. If all 6 revealed winning ‘key’ symbols, they would have won the ‘keys’ to a $40,000 vehicle… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

When insuring one of Odds On’s Video Scratch and Win kiosk games, I always recommend that you hand out smaller, sponsor-insured auxiliary prizes for those participants who manage to unveil fewer winning symbols. After all, everyone loves free swag — and let’s face it, no one likes to walk away empty-handed! Two for one coupons or discounts on purchases can be a great solution if you are on a budget.

Media Promotion: Radio Group Insures $50K VSW Contest at Trade Show!

Chris Gardiner, Northeast & Midwest Business Development Manager, is here to tell you how you can increase attendance to remotes, specifically trade show events, with a media promotion from Odds On Promotions!

Big Money Media Promotion – for Pennies per Play

In celebration of this trade show’s 50th Anniversary event, one of my radio group decided to give one lucky attendee a chance at winning — you guessed it — $50K. The client selected Odds On’s Video Scratch and Win promotion, “Show Me the Money!”

Attendees who showed up at the radio station’s booth had the opportunity to select 6 spots on the Video Scratch and Win game’s touchscreen. If the six spots they selected each revealed a stack of bills, they would have been an instant $50,000 winner… and Odds On would have proudly written a check for the prize amount! While unfortunately, there was no grand prize winner, the radio station and trade show both ended up handing out some fabulous auxiliary prizes to those who managed to reveal a lesser number of winning symbols, to ensure that no one left empty-handed that day!

Radio Station Promotion: $10,000 Number Match Contest

Are you a radio station looking to increase traffic to your website and/or a local sponsor location? Chris Gardiner, Northeast & Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, is here to tell you how a radio station in the Midwest did exactly that… with a little help from one of Odds On’s radio station promotions: a Number Match!

During the 3-week-long promotional period, listeners had a chance to visit the radio station’s website and obtain a ‘certificate’ containing a unique, randomly-generated 5-digit number. Listeners then printed off the certificate and brought it to the participating sponsor’s (in this case, a local car dealership) location. Listeners would then enter their assigned 5-digit number into Odds On’s handheld verification unit to see if their number matched Odds On’s preselected winning number. If there was a match then the listener would have won a 2-year lease on a 2013 Ford F-150, valued at $10,000… and Odds On would have paid for the prize!

Bingo Promotion: $100K Sizzlin’ Hot Zoom Ball

Are you a bingo hall looking to target those days and times with lower traffic and play ? Odds On’s prize indemnity insurance and traffic-driving casino promotions are designed to help you generate incremental gaming revenues. Evelyn Golding, Southeast Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, explains how one property in the South did exactly that.

During the specified promotional period, players had a chance to participate in one of Odds On’s most attention-grabbing contests — a Zoom Ball promotion! The summer-themed “Sizzlin’ Hot” Zoom Ball machine consisted of white and red balls. If a player managed to get 6 red balls into the machine’s “Zoom Zone”, then they’d leave an instant $100,000 winner that day… compliments of Odds On!

“While we do insure actual bingo promotions, such as our Bonus Prize Bingo promotion, it’s always a good idea to ‘mix things up’ every once in a while, the noise of the ball blower coupled with the flashing LED lights created a lot of hype. Plus, Zoom Ball allows you to award your players with smaller, sponsor-insured prizes for collecting fewer winning balls in the machine’s Zoom Zone,” notes Golding.

Interested in insuring a bingo promotion of your own? Whether it’s Bonus Prize Bingo or any one of our many available stock Zoom Ball themes, feel free to give one of our marketing specialists a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us. We can find the perfect promotion for your bingo hall that will have your players going wild!

P.S. Be sure to ask about a customized Zoom Ball theme of your own! We can accommodate you!
