Newspaper Promotion Insured in Mid-Atlantic

Are you in the newspaper industry? Looking for a great newspaper promotion to help increase readership and drive traffic to sponsor locations in the process? Then you’ll definitely appreciate this holiday promotion that a newspaper company in the Mid-Atlantic insured with Odds On Promotions…

How This Holiday Newspaper Promotion Worked…

In the month of December, each Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday’s newspaper contained an insert which featured 6 extravagant holiday gifts. Readers were directed to put the 6 holiday gifts in the order of their choice and drop it off at one of six participating local sponsor locations, for a chance to win $50,000 in prizes!

At the conclusion of the entry period, the newspaper randomly selected one list from each of the six sponsor locations to see if any of the reader’s had placed their items in the same order as Odds On’s preselected winning order. While none of the selected entries featured the winning order, the promotion drove valuable foot-traffic during the holiday shopping season while allowing the newspaper to showcase selected sponsors and their merchandise.

Fundraising Promotion Brings Together Station, Car Dealer & DECA Club

Odds On’s Internet Business Development Manager Damien Anderson recently assisted Bryant Motors with a creative fundraising promotion in conjuction with a local radio station, BOB 92.3, and the DECA Club of Smith Cotton High School.

Fundraising Promotion Featuring A Dodge Dart

This Fall, Bryant Motors partnered with radio station BOB 92.3 in Sedalia, Missouri and the local high school DECA club, giving everyone who made a donation the chance to win a Dodge Dart in a Pick 3 of 10 Lucky Envelopes promotion at a basketball game.

For several weeks leading up to the big game, the Smith-Cotton High School’s DECA Club sold raffle tickets. Each week a lucky finalist was randomly selected and announced on air by Denny Perkins, during the BOB 92.3 morning show. Each finalist received $100 plus a chance to win the 2013 Dodge Dart, courtesy of Kyle Herrick at Bryant Motors, and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

On January 4th, during a Smith-Cotton basketball game, one lucky finalist out of the five weekly qualifiers got the chance to select three Lucky Envelopes out of 20, in hopes of locating three symbols: the front; middle; and back of a Dodge Dart – thus winning the new car from Bryant Motors. While there wasn’t a grand prize winner, DECA awarded the lucky finalist an additional $100 as a consolation prize. All proceeds from raffle went to benefit Child Safe.

A Million Dollar Watch and Win Promotion

Looking to engage more viewers during Spring Sweeps? A watch and win promotion is surefire way to get viewers tuning in …

Raycom Media recently gave viewers across the country the chance to win up to $1,000,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions, for tuning daily to watch America Now.

In order to get their chance to win the big bucks, viewers need to watch the show in order to find out the “Play Code of the Day”.

After receiving the daily code, viewers headed over to the website, AmericaNowNews.com, and entered the contest using their email address and the “Play Code”, after which they received a confirmation email.

At the conclusion of this multi-day watch & win contest, one lucky contestant was selected from all of the registered contestants, and given the chance to win $1,000,000 playing Odds On’s Pick Til’ You Win Lucky Envelopes promotion.

Judy Dunn from Huntsville, Alabama, was the lucky finalist selected from over 40,000 registered participants (and one of 425 from Huntsville). Dunn was then invited to her local station and presented with 40 of Odds On’s “Lucky Envelopes”, each of which contained one of three prize symbols ($750, $1,000 and $1,000,000). Judy then selected and opened envelopes until she had five matching symbols, winning the indicated prize of $750.00.

Watch and Win Promotions Made Easy…

While Raycom Media opted to give their finalist the chance to win a $1,000,000 insured prize using an end-of-promotion Lucky Envelopes contest at a local station, a watch and win promotion like this can easily be run entirely online, or it can be structured as a sweepstakes, where tuning in daily gives your audience members the chance to win a daily, weekly or end of promotion guaranteed prize, sponsored by a participating advertiser.

Driver’s License Match Promotion: Perfect for Radio Stations!

A radio station in the south recently gave fans the chance to win a giant prize in a Driver’s License Match promotion insured by Odds On Promotions!

During the month-long promotion, listeners tuned in daily for the cue to call. The ‘nth’ caller then had the opportunity to match the last 4 digits of their driver’s license number with Odds On’s preselected 4-digit number. If it ended up being a match, the lucky listener would win $50,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

On-Air License Match Games Made Easy

“Our Driver’s License Match promotion, ‘Licensed 2 Win‘, is an extremely simple contest to hold on-air thanks to Odds On’s internet verification system”, explains Chris Gardiner, Northeast and Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions. “When the caller is on the line, the DJ simply logs on to the online verification system and enters in the caller’s name, along with the license numbers the caller provides, to see if it’s a match. If it isn’t, the window automatically closes. If the number does match, then the DJ is prompted that they have a grand prize winner and to contact Odds On Promotions right away.”

Odds On’s Driver’s License Match promotion can be built using 3, 4, or 5 numbers based upon the sponsor and/or station’s budget, the length of the promotion and the size of the prize.

Insure a Grand Prize Dice Roll Promotion

Are you a retail business looking to increase foot traffic to your location? Are you a casino property looking to increase play and keep players at your location on a notoriously low-traffic day? Or maybe you’re a radio station looking to generate excitement among a crowd at a local remote. Whatever the case may be, a dice roll promotion is definitely right up your alley!

Odds On Promotions’ dice roll promotion is extremely simple to insure and run. First, you’ll decide on a prize amount to insure for. Keep in mind, you can give away anything you’d like – it doesn’t have to be cash! Whether it’s an entertainment package, brand new vehicle or an all-inclusive vacation package, Odds On will insure your prize… up to $1,000,000, in fact!

We will then customize a set of 1″, 4″, 8″ or 16″ dice for your promotion, depending on your preference. Then you get to decide what word individuals will need to roll for (i.e. B-U-I-C-K, W-I-N-N-E-R, M-I-L-L-I-O-N). Or, if you’d rather, you can have individuals try to roll all of the dice with your company’s logo displaying face-up.

When your contestant rolls the winning combination of symbols, they’ll be an instant winner… and Odds On will write the check for the insured prize amount! What’s more? Odds On Promotions will include a poster advertising your dice roll contest, as well as a sign-in binder for all of your contestants where they can write down their information before the big roll.

In addition to the materials Odds On will supply you with for your dice roll promotion, it’s also a smart idea to create your own flyers (see images for example). Have them announce the name of your contest, the date it will be taking place, how much prize money is at stake, as well as any other information and/or graphics you’d like to include. Distribute them to as many people as possible. The more you get the word out there about your grand prize promotion, the more likely you are to have an amazing turn-out!

Let Odds On Promotions help you achieve your desired sales and traffic goals. Let us know if you’re interested in a free, no-obligation quote by giving us a call today at 888-827-2249. You can also email us at any time with any questions!
