Television Contest: $39K Prize Vault Promotion Insured by Odds On!

TV stations, are you looking for that one special television contest that will assist in driving traffic to local remotes? If so, you’re in luck — check out the television contest that this TV station in Texas insured to achieve exactly that!

The television station began by advertising the chance to win big every Saturday during the month of February. The first 120 viewers to enter the door at each of four live appearance locations were given a chance to try and “crack the code” by entering a 6-digit number of their choice into Odds On’s Plexiglass Prize Vault.

If a lucky viewer enters the same 6-digit number as Odds On’s preselected 6-digit number, it will mean an instant $39,000, courtesy of Telemundo Channel 39 and paid for by Odds On Promotions

Number Match Promotion Valued at $50K Insured at Boat Show

Participating in a large event, such as a trade show? Why not incentivize attendees to visit your booth by insuring a grand prize number match promotion with Odds On Promotions, like this Florida boat dealer did at their local boat show!

Here’s exactly how it worked: the client’s local newspaper printed 10,000 inserts for distribution in the Sunday paper prior to the boat show. Each insert contained a unique 6-digit number. Readers who attended the boat show would present their newspaper insert and use Odds On’s handheld verification unit to enter in their 6-digit number. If the number they entered ended up matching Odds On’s preselected 6-digit number, then that lucky attendee would have scored $50,000… compliments of Odds On Promotions!

While unfortunately, no one managed to guess the lucky number, traffic was still increased to the boat show and the promotion generated much excitement among attendees!

Other than a number match promotion, what else can I insure at my event?

Aside from our number match promotion, there are plenty of other contests which can be insured at any trade show or event! Whether it’s one of our stock Video Scratch & Win promotions (or a custom one of your own!) or one of our many Lucky Envelopes contests available, we have a promotion for you!

Media Promotion: Tune-In, Trade Up Thursdays

Looking to capture a new auto dealer client this Spring? Here’s a media promotion that will drive “trade-ins” and tune-ins: “Tune-in, Trade Up Thursdays!”

Each Thursday you’ll announce the “dealership of the day” giving your audience members the chance to WIN a new car with every “trade-in” at your live appearance with an Odometer Match promotion.

When customers stop by to strike a deal, they will get to enter the last few digits of their odometer reading into Odds On’s number verification unit. If the odometer reading matches the preselected number, your listener will drive home in a new car, and Odds On will pay full retail.

A variety of entry and verification methods are available to suit any budget! Give us a call at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote or email us for more information!

Online Prediction Contest Insured by Radio Station

Looking to stir up a bit of buzz in your market while driving traffic to your website? Chris Gardiner, Northeast and Midwest Business Development Manager, shares how one Philadelphia sports station combined a giant prize with a crazy contest, in order to make a losing season a little less disappointing (and a whole lot more rewarding) for football fans …

Online Prediction Contest: Three Guesses for $10,000!

For 5 days this December listeners of a Philadelphia sports radio station were directed to the station’s website to enter their email address and take their best guess as to who the next Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator and Defensive Coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles would be… even though the current coach hadn’t yet been sacked! On the final day of the promotion, 5 lucky registrants were selected to become eligible for a chance to win the insured prize: $10,000, compliments of Odds On!

And now we wait … until May 1, 2013, when it’s expected that the three positions will have been filled and if any of those 5 lucky contestants has selected a winning combination of names, they will score $10,000 paid for by Odds On Promotions.

As you can see, your online prediction contest can be based around, well, anything! So, whether you want your listeners to predict winners of the GRAMMY Awards, Academy Awards, or the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, Odds On can customize an online prediction contest for you within minutes!
