Holiday Promotion Idea: Run a Giant Prize Easter Egg Hunt!

holiday promotion - easter egg hunt lucky envelopesCheck your calendar: Is there a big holiday coming up?  Then don’t just stand there — take action, like this car dealership in Missouri did, by using Odds On’s contest insurance to hold one heck of a winning holiday promotion!  Damien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, is here with the full story.

To  increase donations for a local charity and boost attendance at a community Easter event, a Missouri-based car dealership teamed up with a non-profit organization that  focuses on child abuse prevention to insure a Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelopes promotion!

Here’s how the holiday promotion worked: During the venue’s Easter Egg Hunt event, one lucky hidden egg contained a note, notifying the “egg hunter” that they had found the chance to  participate in the insured Lucky Envelopes contest!

holiday promotion - easterThe lucky contestant was then given the opportunity to open one of Odds On’s “Lucky Envelopes” at a time until they collected five matching symbols representing one of  3 different prizes.  If the five symbols the contestant collected first were the grand prize symbols, they would win a brand new 2013 Chrysler 200 (valued at $30,000), courtesy of the car dealership and paid for by Odds On!  The other two prizes available in the Lucky Envelopes contained smaller cash prize, which were self-insured by the contest sponsors.

Whether it’s a 4th of July conditional weather rebate promotion, Halloween-themed Video Scratch and Win promotion or a Christmas-time Zoom Ball promotion, we have a promotion for every occasion!  Pick up the phone and give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us for more holiday promotion ideas — or better yet, feel free to let us know if you have one of your own.  We’ll even throw in a free, no-obligation quote on your contest insurance policy for you!

 

Prize Coverage Helps Michigan Harley Dealership Achieve Results

prize coverage - prize vaultPromotions incorporating prize coverage, when used inconjuction with your regular advertising, can be a very effective tool for increasing foot traffic to your automotive or retail location.  It’s often so effective that some companies use prize coverage on a regular basis to ensure that they are getting the most out of every advertising dollar spent.

Prize Coverage Works for Harley Dealer

This February, the dealership contacted Odds On to insure a weekend-long prize vault promotion.  Each customer who visited the Harley dealership had a chance to enter a 5-digit number of their choice into the prize vault.  If that 5-digit number happened to match Odds On’s preselected grand prize 5-digit number, the lucky customer would  have won a brand new motorcycle, valued at $22,000… and Odds On would have written the check for the prize!

While no one managed to guess the winning combination of numbers, a large amount of traffic was directed to the dealership and much excitement was experienced by each and every customer who participated.  Because of this, the Harley dealership came back to Odds On Promotions, for another promotion featuring giant prize coverage.  For their second promotion during the month of March the dealership opted for a St. Patrick’s Day-themed “Pot O’ Gold” Video Scratch & Win promotion using Odds On’s new Lite kiosk!

prize coverage - pot of gold VSWOn St. Patrick’s Day weekend, customers who enter the dealership will have the opportunity to select 6 spots on the Video Scratch & Win game’s touchscreen.  If a customer happens to choose 6 spots, all of which contain a pot of gold symbol, they’ll be a brand new Harley owner!  The bike itself is worth $18,500… and Odds On Promotions will gladly pay for the prize should the “Luck of the Irish” be with any customer who manages to find those 6 lucky pots of gold!

Looking for prize coverage that will help your company increase traffic and sales?  Give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 and we’ll help you come up with a grand prize promotion which will achieve both goals!  All of our quotes are free and no-obligation!  Questions?  Feel free to email us any time!
