Dealership Celebrates NFL Opening Day with 4 Promos

Looking to kick off the start of the NFL (or CFL) season in style this year?

Whether you’re a retailer looking to increase sales or a media company looking to boost TSL & CUME, you’re sure to pick up some pointers from this promotion in which a Canadian car dealership is teaming up with a local restaurant to insure four great promotions at their location through Odds On Promotions, come Opening Day!

The first three promotions being insured that day are Return for Riches promotions.  If a member of any of the three receiving teams returns the opening or second half kick-off for a touchdown, then a lucky patron customer will win a $25,000 vehicle, courtesy of the client’s dealership and paid for by Odds On!

The fourth and final promotion is a  Video Scratch & Win promotion, where each end every customer will have a chance to participate!  Customers simply select 6 areas on the touchscreen and attempt to find 6 matching football symbols.  6 out of 6 symbols will land them $50,000!  Smaller auxiliary prizes will also be awarded to customers who find fewer symbols.

Ready to insure your own football promotions in celebration of NFL Opening Day?  Give one of our marketing specialists a call today at 888-827-2249… or shoot us an email!  All of our quotes are free and no obligation.

TX Radio Group Insures $10K Dice Drop Promotion

dice drop promotion - hot air balloonAttention radio stations!
Looking to increase awareness? Want to increase excitement among your listeners?
Here’s an idea worth stealing idea from a Texas radio group that’s combining balloons, jumbo dice and giant prizes into one headline-grabbing promotion.

At an upcoming live appearance (aka remote) a lucky fan will be chosen via raffle and will get the opportunity to drop 2 dice from a (get ready for it) … hot air balloon!

That’s right: the chosen contestant will be rolling two 16″ dice from 30 feet in the air.  If both dice drop to the ground with the radio station’s logo landing face-up, they’ll win $10,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions! We love this dice drop promotion, as it goes to show that you can drop a variety of other objects other than your standard golf ball.

dice drop promotionSurely you’re wondering what other items can be ‘dropped’ and in what other fashion.  How about Odds On’s golf ball drop promotion?  Golf ball drop promotions are typically held using a helicopter, but we encourage our clients to think outside the box and let us know of any other ideas they have in mind.  Whether it’s a hot air balloon, hook-and-ladder, cherry picker, crane or otherwise… we can insure it!

Another alternative would be a G.I. Joe Parachute Drop promotion; a unique promotion where numbered G.I. Joe dolls with parachutes are sold and dropped en masse.  Drop the dolls from the roof of a building or local bridge,  then set up a target landing point on the ground.  If the preselected lucky G.I. Joe doll lands within the target area, your contestant goes home with the prize… again, compliments of Odds On!

Keep in mind – anything can technically be dropped, whether it’s a rubber duck, miniature NERF football, a beach ball dropped into a body of water, or even turkeys (just make sure they’re not live ones!) … you name it, we can do it!

Interested in a dice drop promotion of your own? Need more ideas on “drops?”  Give us a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us!  Let us know if you have anything unique in mind, or if you’d like us to help you custom tailor a “drop” promotion that’s best suited to your business/event!

Idaho Radio Group Insures $30K Golf Promotion

golf promotion - golf ballIf you’re looking for a golf promotion, you’re absolutely going to love this innovative contest that comes to us from a radio group out of Idaho.  Chances are that you’re even going to want to steal this idea for yourself after reading about it!

In order to increase listenership, a western radio group will be qualifying contestants each week prior to the promotion date.  These contestants will need to fly a golf ball into one of many floating rings that are set at various distances in order to participate in the promotion.  Now, surely you’re wondering what the final insured promotion consists of…

The first 10 contestants who were able to fly their ball into a ring will be heading to the local golf course where the promotion is being held, and will attempt to drive a floating golf ball into a 2-foot floating ring!  If the golf ball falls within the ring/circle, then that contestant will be the brand new owner of a truck valued at a whopping $30,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

This promotion is a great one to pair up with a hole-in-one, putting contest or million dollar shoot-out insurance policy from our sister company, Hole In One International!

Of course a golf course isn’t the only place you run this promotion!  You can run a “hole in one” or putting contest anywhere from your banquet halls, your tradeshow, or your showroom floor!  Why you can even give folks the chance to sink one in your outfield or on the basketball court. Yep, we can insure your future golf promotion any time, anywhere!

Be sure to give us a call at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote on any/all of the golf promotions Odds On has to offer… or email us for more information, or even if you have a unique golf promotion idea of your own!  If there’s a risk involved and no guaranteed winner, we can insure it without a problem!

P.S.  Play it safe out there — and make the most of a small space —  by using a Cayman ball!

number guess - money bagsAre you a radio group/station?  Is there a big event or tradeshow going on in your area?  Feel free to steal this idea that comes from a radio group out of Massachusetts, who will be teaming up with a local auto dealership to hold a 7-digit number guess at a local country music festival in order to add excitement to their booth at the event!

The first 500 listeners who stop by the booth that day will get a chance to guess how much money (which will be placed in Odds On Promotions‘ custom money bags displayed above), to the penny, is inside of a truck on display.  Guesses will be made using Odds On’s handheld verification unit, where attendees will be able to enter in their guess.

If the 7-digit number ($XX,XXX.XX) they enter exactly matches the dollar value inside of the truck, then they’ll be driving home a winner in it that day!  The value of the truck?  $40,000!

Want to make one of your dedicated listeners a grand prize winner with Odds On’s prize coverage?  Give us a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote and more information on a number guess contest, or any other contest you can think of!

MT Media Co. Insures Quacktacular 3-Digit Number Guess

Are you a radio station looking to increase foot traffic at one of your remotes, or celebrate the grand opening of a business in your area?  We have just the promotion for you: a 3-digit number guess… featuring lucky ducks, which is exactly what this media company out of Montana will be insuring through Odds On Promotions!

In order to celebrate the grand opening of a local recreational facility, the radio station will be choosing one attendee at random to choose 1 rubber duck from a pool of 250 to see if it will land them a grand prize. Here’s how it will work:

After choosing their duck, the participant will enter the 3-digit number on the bottom of it into Odds On’s handheld verification unit.  If the number matches Odds On’s preselected number, they’re an instant $50,000 winner… and we’ll be cutting the check, of course!

The great part about holding a number match featuring rubber ducks is the fact that there are so many different types available to best suit the theme and/or ‘feel’ of your promotion!  From vampire ducks (perfect for Halloween), Santa ducks (Christmas) and even lovey ducks (Valentine’s Day), no matter what the occasion, there’s sure to be a custom duck out there for you!
