Your contestants will each pick a bag and simultaneously open their “envelopes”.  If they pick just right, they’ll each bag a new truck  – paid for by Odds On.

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

media promotionsChris 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

radio station promotion - number matchAre 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!
