Builder Drives Traffic with $100K Prize!

Reno, Nev. –  This February, Heartland Homes gave the first 300 people to arrive at the grand opening of their “Summit at Cheat Lake” development the chance to win $100,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

The promotion, which was one of a number of events taking place during the grand opening festivities, had “would-be” homebuyers entering a six-digit number into Heartland’s “Lucky Number Machine” (aka one of Odds On’s hand held verification units) for a chance to win a $100,000 prize.

According to Odds On Promotions’ Sales Representative Chris Gardiner, “With competition for home-buyers at an all-time high, this offer is a real attention-getter. I mean, $100,000 makes for a substantial down payment on a new home. And, since Odds On writes the check when there’s a winner, it’s an affordable way to pique consumer interest, make your advertising more effective and ideally grab some free headlines along the way. Where I think Homeland was particularly smart was in offering a number of consolation prizes including flatscreen tvs – another great perk a would-be homebuyer can appreciate.

Post-it® Note Promo Drives Customers!

Newspaper Drives Traffic To Auto Dealer Located Half-Hour Away!
Allentown, Penn.  – Imagine customers so eager to get inside your showroom floor that before you even open they’re lining up waiting to get in … and willing to drive nearly thirty minutes to do so.

That’s what recently happened at Gateway Kia in Quakertown during a recent Post-it ® Note Posted Number promotion. The promotion gave readers of The Morning Call newspaper, based in Allentown, the chance to win a Kia Soul if the number appearing on a Post-it® note affixed to the front of their newspaper matched a number posted at Gateway Kia.

“The results from this “Notice-It” campaign surprised us. This dealership is on the fringe of our market area so we were pretty pleased when we learned that in just the first few hours on the first day, they not only had folks lining up, they had already sold two Kias,” stated Bill Kennedy, Auto Advertising Sales Director for The Morning Call.

Kennedy also reported that as of press time, the dealership was, “Very happy and just amazed by the distance people had traveled to participate. They’ve sold 8 cars and expect to sell more as they work through the remaining 275 leads”.
