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!

Want to insure a poker run promotion of your own and fundraise for a good cause? Interested in any of our other fundraising contests we have to offer for non-profit organizations? Give us a call today at 888-827-2249… or email us for more information! We’d be happy to assist you in your fundraising endeavors!

Holiday Promotion Idea for Casinos: 12 Days of Winning Gameboard

Casino Properties: Looking for a holiday promotion idea? How about insuring a casino promotion on 12-12-12? Odds On Promotions has the perfect idea for you — our “12 Days of Winning” Lucky Envelopes promotion, featuring this larger-than-life gameboard!

Give players the opportunity to win $12,000 (or whatever insured prize amount you choose) in your very own game show environment with this professionally designed game board! On 12-12-12, select 12 lucky players (via raffle, hot seat, or any manner you choose) to participate in Odds On’s “12 Days of Winning” Lucky Envelopes promotion.

Players will simply choose 1 envelope from a window on each “house” for a total of three envelopes. If the lucky player is able to collect 3 matching inserts contained within the envelopes, they’re an instant winner and Odds On will pay for the prize! Alternatively, you can also insure this promotion as an “add ’em up” contest, where players must select 3 envelopes which contain inserts that add up to a particular dollar amount — for example, $12,000!

Want to further customize your gameboard and get more of a “real” effect? Feel free to add your own snow, Christmas lights, etc. once your gameboard is set up… and don’t forget to award your players with complimentary auxiliary prizes if they manage to choose a lesser number of winning envelopes!
