Scoreboard Payoff
Looking for a fast, easy and rewarding way to make everyone feel like a winner during basketball season? Look no further than Scoreboard Payoff pull tab cards. Simply select any two basketball games and distribute the cards prior to tip-off. Players then pull off the card’s tabs to reveal a set of numbers for both games. If the last digit of each teams’ scores match both halves of the two games, they’ll score $25,000. Match any three of four scores, and the lucky card holder will win $1,000. Both prizes paid for by Odds On Promotions.

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.

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!
