Rewarding TV Promotions? How About The Dollar Bill Game!

Looking for some fresh new TV promotions? Need to boost your share? Then check out this Dollar Bill Game promotion Odds On insured for a television station client based out of Kentucky.

Here’s how the promotion worked: Prior to the promotional period, Odds On Promotions placed one-dollar bills into circulation in the TV station’s broadcast area.

Then, every weekday during the month-long promotional period, the serial number on one of the dollar bills distributed was announced on the 5:30pm news. If a viewer happened to have the dollar bill which exactly matched the serial number displayed on the television screen, they had fifteen minutes to call in and claim their prize – $10,000 cash, paid for by Odds On Promotions! (Watch the video below).

The promotion ‘finale’ occurred on the last evening of the promotion – this time, the dollar bill’s serial number – which was displayed on the television screen – would be worth $100,000, if a viewer happened to have an exact match!

This promotion offers multiple chances to tune in and win thousands, which is why I’m a big fan of the Dollar Bill Game. While unfortunately, no one happened to have one of the winning dollar bills, the station drove tune in by giving viewers the chance to win big!

Golf Contests To Be Insured at American Century Championship!

We at Odds On Promotions are happy to announce that we’ll be insuring a series of giant-prize golf contests during the 24^th Annual American Century Championship, which will take place July 16-21, 2013 in Lake Tahoe, California. Even better – one of the golf contests will be filmed by NBC TV for rebroadcast on Sunday, July 21st, 2013, during the actual tournament!

The first golf contest, developed in conjunction with a New York insurance agency, and sponsored by a PR company, will take place prior to the golf tournament, during their “Media Day” event. The promotion will feature 40 amateurs who will each get two shots to make a hole-in-one from the par 3 17th hole, which measures 155 yards in length. That’s a total of 80 chances for someone to become a winner! A winner of what? How about a cool $25,000 cash, paid for by Odds On Promotions?

But wait, there are even more golf contests…

To kick off the American Century Championship this year, the same agency, working in conjunction with Korbel, will be insuring a combination hole in one contest and Ball in the Circle contest. The contest, which will take place on Friday, July 19 will feature a total of 15 amateur golfers who will each get not one chance, but two chances, to hit a golf ball approximately 155 yards and either make a hole-in-one and win $250,000 or have it come to rest within the designated circle winning $25,000. The contest, which will also take place on the 17th will be broadcast on NBC on Sunday, July 21, during the actual tournament!

Ready for more? The third golf contest is a 3-day-long Million Dollar Shootout event, taking place July 19th-21st. 80 amateurs and 1 club professional will get a shot, each day, at winning $1,000,000 if they’re able to ace the par 3 17th hole… which will this time, be measured out at 165 yards. This hole in one insurance policy will be written so that there can be a possibility of two winners, both of which could potentially cash out one million dollars richer the day of their ace.

Casino Basketball Promotion Ideas: How Can We Help You?

While the NCAA Basketball Championship has come and gone, I have great news for those of you looking for casino basketball promotion ideas for next year: A few months ago, I helped a casino property in the Southern U.S. to insure an NCAA score prediction promotion! Feel free to steal…

Here is how the promotion worked – players who earned at least 25 points on their player’s card during the four days prior to the promotional date were given the opportunity to predict the final score in the April 6th NCAA semi-final game.

Out of all the players participating in the promotion, five ‘finalists’ were chosen via a registration form. These five players had a chance to win $10,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions, if their game score predictions for each and every team happened to be correct come the day of the semi-final game!

It’s important to remember that score prediction promotions aren’t limited to basketball — you have the freedom to theme your casino promotion around any big event: Super Bowl, The World Series, The Masters … you name it!

Just give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 and one of our marketing specialists will provide you with a free, no-obligation quote and any questions you may have about casino sports promotions.

Horseshoe Toss Promotion Insured by Payment Solutions Company

Ready to increase those fundraising dollars and get everyone totally amped up to “pitch” in with donations… all by insuring a contest with Odds On Promotions? One of my clients, a payment solutions company based in Texas, ended up insuring a horseshoe toss promotion at an annual ‘shindig’ at a local country club.

On the date of the event, each attendee pitched in money to have their name put into a raffle. Whomever’s name was drawn would be the contestant chosen to pitch a ringer for a chance to win an instant $10,000… paid for by Odds On!

I really enjoyed helping insure this promotion due to the fact that it assisted with fundraising for a variety of local charities, including the community’s local 4-H Organization, which helps fund youth development programs. Furthermore, while there was no $10,000 grand prize winner, the client still gave away a spectacular self-insured prize: an all-inclusive 2014 Kentucky Derby® vacation package for next year’s big races! Talk about a company who knows how to put on one heck of a fundraiser!

Insuring a horseshoe toss promotion is not only cost-efficient and simple to facilitate, but the contest itself can be held at any time, anywhere — which gives you the freedom to have the horseshoe toss promotion wherever you please! Odds On will simply supply you with all the necessities to offer an insured grand prize for the individual who [hopefully] happens to make that ringer!
