Insure a Tortilla Toss Promotion with Odds On Promotions!

Today is October 4th! What are you doing to celebrate National Taco Day?

Whether you’re a Mexican restaurant, or a business looking to capture some headlines on National Taco Day (today) National Tortilla Chip Day (February 24) or Cinco de Mayo (May 5), chances are you’re going to flip for this fun and unique promotion idea: a giant-prize tortilla toss!

To kick off your promotion, you’ll want to advertise the chance to win big at your location for making the perfect tortilla toss, then start collecting contestant registrations. Narrow down contestants to a pre-determined number by running a qualifier of some sort – for example a burrito rolling contest, a lime-eating contest or even a random drawing. The choice is strictly up to you.

Next, hand your finalists a corn or flour tortilla and point ’em towards your target.   If a lucky contestant can land their tortilla on the target or toss their tortilla through the opening of the target template (try to say that 10 times fast), they’ll win “mucho dinero”, and Odds On will pick up the tab.

Wondering what this might look like? Check out this footage from a giant prize frisbee toss promotion!

For added fun, be sure to have your staff dress up for the promotion.  Giant sombreros, taco costumes, maracas… the possibilities are endless!  (And if you’re feeling extra festive, Odds On can even customize a Cinco de Mayo or Mexican-themed Video Scratch and Win promotion for your business as well!)

Be sure to award auxiliary prizes for each customer who comes close to winning your tortilla toss; you don’t want them to leave empty-handed!  Restaurant gift cards, food items, a trip to either Cancun or Cabo… the choice is yours!

No Snow? Car Dealers Will Rebate Your Truck!

ATTENTION: Car Dealerships and Retailers! Looking to boost sales and increase foot traffic to your location?  Here’s a promotion idea you’re sure to love – and are more than welcome to steal…  a weather conditional rebate. But this one has a fabulous twist that will have customers singing, “Let it NOT snow” come this winter season!

A Northeast  auto dealership group which consists of 4 separate locations, will be running an interesting twist on the traditional weather conditional rebate promotion.  What’s the twist?  Well, each location will be handing over a rebate to customers if it snows less than 18 inches this winter!

That’s right – if it snows less than 18 inches, customers will see a portion of their money back on all purchases made during the sales promotion and Odds On will pay for it all!

As you may already know, most weather conditional rebates are insured based on based on there being  more than a certain amount of rainfall or snowfall… or if it’s more than a certain temperature (e.g. 100 degrees) outside.  But it works both ways!

“This type of ‘reverse’ weather conditional rebate is definitely unique and we love seeing it insured”, explains Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager with Odds On Promotions.  “Next time your thinking about running a conditional rebate promotion — and depending on where you live, of course — consider giving customers a rebate if it doesn’t snow on Christmas Day, or if it’s less than a certain temperature – 100 degrees, for example – outside on a specific day.  It really tends to enhance the promotional experience and make things even more exciting.”
