Buddy the Elf Day: Promotion for Radio Stations

Radio Stations: December 18th has finally arrived, which means “Buddy the Elf Day” is upon us! Did you know that you can turn a fun ‘holiday’ or any day into a giant-prize promotion that will boost your TSL and CUME?

It starts with an on-air “Phrase That Pays” qualifier. During your targeted dayparts, announce the specific phrase (or in this case, question) that callers will need to answer with when they are called by your station. If they answer appropriately, then they’ll be invited to a station and/or sponsor-hosted party where one lucky finalist will be given the chance to win a life-changing prize.

In this case, since it’s a holiday promotion, your finalist could participate in a Lucky Ornament Pick, getting the chance to choose x of x holiday ornaments, each of which is paired with a corresponding Lucky Envelope. If the Envelopes contain a winning combination of symbols, then your finalist will be the grand prize winner and Odds On Promotions will pay for the prize of your choice!

Poker Run Promotion Worth $25,000 Benefits Veterans

Looking for the perfect Veteran’s Day fundraising promotion? Look no further! Just take notes from this Army National Guard in the Great Plains, who insured a poker run promotion which benefitted multiple Army non-profits.

On the specified promotion date, 550 eager motorcyclists showed up to the event, which took place at the National Guard’s headquarters. Each participant rode to 5 separate stops/locations to pick up a poker card. At the end of the event, each participant entered their highest five card poker hand into Odds On Promotions‘ Lucky Hand Poker Run Verification Machine. If a participant’s five card poker hand ended up matching Odds On’s preselected poker hand, they would have won a brand new 2012 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic motorcycle, valued at $25,000.

While unfortunately, no one won the motorcycle, there was still a lot of good news to be had: Since each participant was charged $25 to participate in the poker run, that meant that $13,750 was fundraised that day! Additionally, any club, organization, unit or chapter of this National Guard with the most paid entries received a $500 check if at least 400 riders attended the event that day (which they did)!

And last, but definitely not least, the good news is that no one went home empty-handed after the promotion, despite the fact that no one won the insured prize. Smaller cash prizes were given to the 1st place, 2nd place and even lowest hand winner!

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.

Interested in learning how you can use weather to boost sales for your business? Give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote! Or, you can email us for more information… one of our marketing specialists will be in contact with you before you can say, “Let it snow!”
