Love Match in Colorado!

Sponsor and Vendor Fell in Love with Results

Monument, Colorado – Talk about a match made in heaven! David Viselli, Director of Marketing with The Colorado Wedding Magazine has reported having an outstanding success with Odds On Promotions’ Lucky List contest.

The promotion, which ran for year, gave brides-to-be the chance to win $50,000 if they could put a list of 8 wedding related services in just the right order. To participate, the brides needed to visit the Colorado Wedding Magazine booth during a participating bridal show and complete an entry form which collected their email address, information about their wedding date, the services they needed, and their budget. If one of the randomly selected brides’ “Lucky List” matched Odds On’s pre-selected Lucky List, she would take home $50,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

While there was not a winner this year, Viselli noted that the promotion was a big winner for both the magazine and his advertisers. According to Viselli, “Our sign-ins went from approximately 1,500 to well over 5,000. This provided our advertisers with each bride’s information enabling them to target their market. Because of this promotion our advertising renewal rate went from 70% to 97%. This is a great marketing tool.” Viselli also noted that he will, “absolutely be running the promotion again.”

So Close! 2009 Grey Cup Conditional Rebate

With Bowl Games and Playoffs just weeks away, we thought this story would warm the hearts of retailers everywhere …

Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada -To increase traffic and sales this fall, Paradise Leisurescapes gave their customers a powerful incentive to make a purchase… the chance to receive a 100% rebate on their spa/hot tub purchase if the Saskatchewan Roughriders won the Grey Cup, the Canadian Football League’s version of the Super Bowl, this season.

The underdog Roughriders – as well as all of Paradise’s many hot tub buyers, surely thought they had it in the bag after Montreal’s Damon Duval missed a field goal in the closing moments of the game.

Conditional Rebates Work!

However … unfortunately for Rider fans there was a 13th man on the field, prompting a penalty kick. Duval made good on his second chance from 33 yards, giving the Alouettes a stunning 28-27 victory over the Roughriders in what is sure to be remembered as a classic CFL championship game.
Could your sales use a boost? With playoffs and bowl games just weeks away, give Odds On Promotions a call today to create a sales-driving conditional rebate of your very own!
