Drive more traffic and sales with a giant prize sales promotion for your retail location.

A Foot or More of Snow Could Mean Free Purchases for Customers!

Looking to increase traffic and sales at your retail location this winter?  This story comes to us from a firewood and snow removal company in the Northeast, who is insuring a conditional weather promotion.

According to Odds On Promotions’ Risk Manager, Zak Woodhead, for a month and a half, customers who make purchases from this particular company will have a chance to receive a 100% rebate on all purchases made if at least 12 inches of snow falls on Christmas Day!  That’s right, a foot of snow will mean that all customers who bought anything during the promotional period will receive their money back, compliments of Odds On Promotions.  Talk about an incentive to make purchase!

The great part about insuring a weather-based conditional rebate is that you can use any sort of weather, and any condition!  For example, you can insurance a conditional rebate where customers will receive a 100% rebate on purchases made if the temperature reaches above 100 degrees on a specific day.  Or, insure a “reverse” conditional rebate, where the rebate will be paid out if less than x inches of rain falls during a given season.

Kentucky Furniture Store Insures Football Conditional Rebate

If you work in the retail industry, chances are you’re looking to increase your sales…  Well, we have a great promotion story for you that comes from a furniture store in Kentucky, and we encourage you all to feel free to steal this idea:

During a week-long promotional period, customers of the furniture store who make purchases will have the opportunity to receive a 100% rebate!  Surely you’re wondering what has to happen in order for them to receive it…

After the week long sale ends, a college football game will take place.  And here’s where the prize insurance element kicks in: if the game results in a “shutout” (that is, if either team fails to post a score above zero), there will be some extremely happy customers… because depending on which team they’re rooting to shut out, they could win a 100% rebate on their purchase(s) … and Odds On Promotions will pick up the tab, relieving the furniture store of any risk!  Quite the win-win situation!

“What makes this promotion so unique is the fact that each customer is able to decide which team they want their rebate tied to”, explains Damien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager with Odds On.  “This is a great way to engage fans of both teams and not make either one feel left out.”

Interested in insuring a conditional rebate of your own?  Great news: there are multiple ways to insure one!  Whether it’s a weather-based conditional rebate where customers receive a 100% rebate on purchases made during a particular timeframe if it snows, rains or reaches a certain temperature on the specified promotion date, or if it’s a sports-based conditional rebate like this one, where customers receive a 100% rebate if your local team wins the big game, hits a grand slam, scores a defensive touchdown, etc. — Odds On can insure it!

Give us a call today at 888-827-2249 to receive a free, no-obligation quote on a conditional rebate promotion from one of our marketing specialists.  You can also email us, if you’d rather!

NM Furniture Stores Increase Traffic With $10K Lucky List

Are you a retailer looking to increase foot traffic to your location?  Then you’ll love this Lucky List promotion that Odds On Promotions is insuring for two New Mexico furniture store locations.

For a month-long period, customers who show up at either furniture store location will have a chance to put eight numbered furniture items in the order of their choice, using Odds On Promotions’ handheld verification unit.  If the eight-digit lucky order matches Odds On’s preselected order, then that customer will win an instant $10,000 in free furniture… and Odds On will write the check!

According to Damien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, “The best part about insuring a promotion at multiple retail locations is the fact that there can theoretically be a winner at each location!  In this case, if one customer at each location guesses the lucky order, they’ll both win a $10,000 prize.”
