Out of Television Promotion Ideas? Steal This One!

Surely you’re familiar with Odds On’s TV Lotto promotion… but if not, then here’s a great idea for all you TV stations out there looking for television promotion ideas — a “text in to win” contest where viewers tune in at particular dates and times to see if they’re a prize insurance winner!

A frequent repeat client who has an airtime trading company based out of the Southwestern U.S. worked with a South Carolina-based television station to insure a contest with Odds On Promotions — And when it comes to television promotion ideas, this one drives tune-in like you wouldn’t believe (which is likely why he keeps coming back to insure more)!

Here’s how it works: During a month-long promotional period, the TV station advertised a commercial every day which prompted the viewer to text a specific word to a shortcode. In return, the viewer received a list of six different TV shows via text message. The viewer also had the option of logging on to the station’s website and entering in their email address and other contact information to obtain the list of six different shows.

Viewers were then prompted to tune in to the 10 o’clock news each evening for a live drawing. If the names of the six TV shows drawn happened to match all of the shows on the viewer’s list, then the viewer would have scored $100,000, paid for by Odds On! Viewers had to obtain a fresh list of shows each day to keep participating during the span of the month-long promotion.

While unfortunately, there wasn’t a grand prizeswinner, one randomly selected viewer each week still scored a fabulous auxiliary prizes provided by the TV station — in this case, a $100 gas card!

Awarding promotion contestants with guaranteed client and/or sponsor-insured auxiliary prizes is always a great idea… it keeps folks participating!

Rewarding TV Promotions? How About The Dollar Bill Game!

Looking for some fresh new TV promotions? Need to boost your share? Then check out this Dollar Bill Game promotion Odds On insured for a television station client based out of Kentucky.

Here’s how the promotion worked: Prior to the promotional period, Odds On Promotions placed one-dollar bills into circulation in the TV station’s broadcast area.

Then, every weekday during the month-long promotional period, the serial number on one of the dollar bills distributed was announced on the 5:30pm news. If a viewer happened to have the dollar bill which exactly matched the serial number displayed on the television screen, they had fifteen minutes to call in and claim their prize – $10,000 cash, paid for by Odds On Promotions! (Watch the video below).

The promotion ‘finale’ occurred on the last evening of the promotion – this time, the dollar bill’s serial number – which was displayed on the television screen – would be worth $100,000, if a viewer happened to have an exact match!

This promotion offers multiple chances to tune in and win thousands, which is why I’m a big fan of the Dollar Bill Game. While unfortunately, no one happened to have one of the winning dollar bills, the station drove tune in by giving viewers the chance to win big!
