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.

Media Company Insures $100,000 TV Lotto Promotion

Radio and TV stations: are you ready to increase viewership/listenership?  Arizona-based media company is currently running a TV Lotto promotion, where viewers of a particular station will get the chance to win $100,000!  Here’s how:

Viewers who tune in to the station will visit 1 of 3 participating sponsor locations to pick up a scratch card.  The scratch card will reveal a list of 6 unique TV show/local sponsor names.

On the specified on-air draw date for the TV Lotto promotion displayed at the bottom of their card, each viewer will be instructed to view in and see if the 6 TV show/sponsor names’ corresponding numbers match what’s aired on the screen that day.  If so, they’re an instant $100,000 winner… just for showing up and tuning in!

And here’s a fun spin-off that Odds On Promotions can insure as well: a text-to-win promotion!

Rather than having your audience visit to a remote location to pick up cards, they can receive a text message displaying the itemized list instead!  The text message will also instruct you when to tune in to see if the numbers on your list match your texted numbers.

Be sure to advertise on-air, online via your company’s website and at remotes to get the most out of the promotion… and increase your chances at having a winner!  Going to end up with more participants than you initially thought and insured for?  No problem!  Give us a call and we can add additional attempts to your contract!

Theme Your Next Promotion Around a Country!

Now here’s a fun idea that’s sure to drive traffic and boost participation at your next big promotion and/or event: Taking a country (or even multiple countries!) and theming your next event around them!

While this idea is perfect for holidays such as Cinco de Mayo, Chinese New Year, Greek Easter and more, that doesn’t mean you still can’t hold your country-themed promotion any time of year… regardless of what type of company/organization you are!

Casinos/Gaming – How about holding a Russia-themed gameboard promotion featuring Odds On’s Lucky Envelopes?  Odds On can customize the artwork of your inserts featuring a variety of Matryoshka dolls which represent differing dollar amounts.  If any of your players participating in the promotion open up their envelopes and find 3, 4 or 5 of the biggest sized doll, then they can win grand prize coverage up to $1,000,000… paid for by Odds On!  Need complimentary prize ideas?  How about treating your players to a free drink coupon worth one free shot of premium vodka.  Don’t forget to “set the stage” by decorating the casino floor area with various Russian elements and dress up your staff in traditional Russian fur hats and scarves for even more fun!

Restaurants – What type/ethnicity of food do you offer to your customers?  Here’s a fun example of something a Greek restaurant could hold in order to boost traffic to their location: a custom Greek-themed video scratch and win promotion!  Using the touchscreen, have your customers try and find the “Greek key” symbol on all 6 spaces on the touchscreen that they select… if they’re successful, they can win up to $100,000 in grand prize coverage — compliments of Odds On!  Be sure to play your favorite Greek music and hire belly dancers to set the mood!  Looking for complimentary auxiliary prizes to hand out to customers who don’t manage to score big?  Hook them up with a free tiropita (or other food item of choice), shot of Ouzo or even a complimentary piece of Greek jewelry featuring the ‘Mati.’  OPA!!!

Media – Feel free to set up a variety of events which include promotions at various remotes to maximize attendance (as well as the chance for your dedicated listeners to win)!  Again, the country/countries you choose are absolutely up to you!  Whether it’s holding a dice roll contest to spell out “J-A-P-A-N” or an Ireland-themed event featuring a customizable scratch card promotion where attendees need to scratch and unveil a certain number of matching symbols (in this case, a shamrock), Odds On can help you out!

Need more country, promotion and/or decor ideas?  No sweat!  Just give Odds On Promotions a call at 888-827-2249 or email us — we’d be happy to help!  And remember: all of our grand prize coverage quotes are free and no-obligation.
