Lucky List Promotion: A New Year, New Room Giveaway…

Loveseat - Furniture PromotionDuring the promotional period, customers who entered the client’s furniture store had the opportunity to put a list of 8 numbered furniture items in the order of their choice, using Odds On’s handheld verification unit.  If the number they entered matched Odds On Promotions‘ preselected numerical order, then the customer would win all of the furniture items on the list: a sofa, love seat, coffee table, lamp, end table, entertainment center, rug and recliner… totaling $10,000 and paid for by Odds On!

According to Odds On’s Damien Anderson, who works with a number of furniture store clients, “One way to ensure success with a Lucky List promotion in the retail environment is to build a large vignette featuring all of the items you are ‘giving away’ as part of your promotion. This way customers can not only get a good look at what they’ll be winning, but it ensures immediate engagement. I also recommend awarding auxiliary prizes to customers who come close to getting their lists in a winning order and, of course, including the promotion in your advertising.”

Facebook Contest Ideas: Perfect for Small Businesses

facebook contest ideasAre you a small business or non-profit organization looking to increase fans and engagement on your Facebook page?  Look no further — Odds On Promotions has some great Facebook contest ideas to help you achieve the results you’re looking for.

A common misconception is that only big brand pages and corporations benefit from Facebook’s contesting features.  By tweaking your marketing strategies, we can show you that that’s not at all the case!  And the best part is that you don’t have to give away a prize worth thousands in order to succeed!  Discounts, merchandise, gift cards… the prize can be anything you want, and worth any amount!  Take a look at the Facebook contest ideas below:

1. Photo Contests
Photo contests are engaging and fun for all!  Invite your Facebook fans to submit photos to your wall.  If you’re a local restaurant or food chain, have your fans snap a picture of themselves eating at one of your locations!  Retailers and auto dealerships can also utilize this type of contest by having their fans submit pictures of themselves featuring their recent purchase(s).  Holding a promotion or special event?  Have them submit their best photo of themselves at the venue!  When your fan base votes on the submitted photos, you’re not only increasing exposure on your end, but also increasing traffic which can continue even well after the contest ends.

2. Guessing Game Contests
This type of contest leaves you with a wide variety of options.  Have your Facebook fans participate in a word jumble, guess a question related to your company/organization (e.g. What year did Odds On Promotions go into business?), post a picture and have your fans guess where and/or when it was taken… or even post a picture of a jar of M&Ms and have them guess how many are in there (the person who guesses closest to the actual number will win).  The choice is strictly up to you how you choose to administer a guessing game contest and which type to go with… the possibilities are endless!

3. Tie Your Contest Into a Current Event
Is your company/organization holding any type of online/internet promotion?  This is a perfect way to incorporate it with a Facebook contest!  For example, if you’re holding an online Easter-themed scavenger hunt promotion where visitors have to find a hidden Easter Egg which is located someplace on your website, the first fan who finds and clicks on it will be your contest winner!  Keep in mind: this can easily work with other types of events as well, not just online promotions.

Need more Facebook contest ideas?  Want Odds On to run and facilitate one for you (we’ll even create your artwork!), while you sit back and watch the ‘likes’ and engagement roll in?  Whatever the case may be, be sure to give us a call today at 888-827-2249… or email us!  You can also befriend Odds On Promotions on Facebook!
