What Time Is It? It’s Cash O’Clock!

Did you know that New Year’s Eve is less than 6 months away?  Time to start planning a New Year’s promotion from Odds On that will increase floor traffic at your location!

Every hour on the hour, from noon to midnight or midnight to noon (or any hours in between), give your players the chance to win $100,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions! Every hour select a lucky qualified player who will get the chance to pick “clocks” or “watches” displayed on the gameboard and see how many minutes each is worth. If the total equals 60 minutes your player will score $100,000 and Odds On will pick up the tab. Reward players with cash and prizes based on how close they came to the full hour!

We know — $100,000 sounds like a great way to ring in the new year.  That’s why it’s important to contact us as soon as possible to get the ball rolling on this promotion… time is of the essence!  Questions?  Other promotion ideas for New Year’s? Give us a call at 888-827-2249!

Porsches, Pumpkins & Pick-Ups

Sure, it’s still summertime… but with July soon coming to an end, it’s not too early to start thinking about October.  Here’s a great promotion idea from Odds On for the month of October:

This October, give qualified players a daily chance to instantly win a Porsche, a pick-up truck, or a plastic pumpkin stuffed with candy, coupons, or cash with Odds On’s Porsches, Pumpkins & Pick-Ups Video Scratch and Win Game. Find six matching pumpkins and your player wins the Porsche; find five and they’ll ride home in pick-up, courtesy of Odds On! Award guaranteed prizes or weekly drawing tickets for finding four or fewer pumpkins. Want to make this October promo even more spooktacular? Give everyone who plays a drawing ticket and give away the pick-up as a guaranteed prize on Monday, October 31!

Need more Halloween-themed promotion ideas that will be sure to impress all the guys and ‘ghouls’ at your location?  Give us a call at 888-827-2249 or shoot us an email.

Top 3 Summer Fundraisers from Odds On

Summer fundraisers, you say? We’ve got ’em! Holding a golf tournament this year?  Looking to add in a little something extra to help generate funds for your cause?  You’re in luck! Hole In One International has just released their Top 3 Summer Fundraisers to help you achieve your desired fundraising goals! Let’s take a look:

1. Duck Race
Sell more ducks and raise more bucks with a duck race promotion. If the preselected duck crosses the finish line first, then we’ll pay out the prize! It’s as easy as 1-2-3:

  • Choose an amazing prize (cash, vehicles, houses or anything up to $1,000,000 in value) and sell your ducks.
  • Before your event, we’ll select a group of Lucky Ducks.
  • If one of those ducks crosses the finish line first, the owner will win your amazing prize, and Odds On will pay for it.

2. Golf Ball Drop
A golf ball drop can either be used as a standalone event or as an add-on to your golf tournament, either before or after your outing. Here’s how it works:

  • Generate funds by selling numbered balls.  How much you plan to charge is strictly up to you!
  • Once you’ve sold the balls, all of them are then dropped from a helicopter or cherry picker above a target.
  • If one of the balls closest to that target is on a  pre-selected list of lucky balls, then Odds On will pick up the tab!

3. Poker Run
Hop on your car, boat or motorcycle this summer and you could potentially cruise your way into some serious dough! Just “buy in” by following these easy steps:

  • Design your own course with 5 different stops in which your contestants must travel to.
  • Have each contestant stop at each location and select a card.
  • At the end of the contest, each contestant enters their assigned contestant number and highest 5-card hand into our touch screen verification unit. If they have the preselected lucky hand, we write a check for the prize!

Our reps report that free gas, cash for gas and gas cards are driving big traffic in nearly every venue as are cash, iPads, and the those slick three-wheel’d Can-Ams.

Hot Wheels, Cool Deals

Looking to drive traffic this spring and summer? How about giving your customers the chance to win a sizzlin’ hot set of wheels or a cool down payment deal with a little help from Odds On Promotions.

It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

1. Advertise the chance to win a brand new vehicle, paid for by Odds On Promotions for coming to your dealership, registering and taking a test drive.

2. Odds On will ship you a set of Hot Wheels/Cool Deals Lucky Envelopes, each containing a miniature version of the vehicle you’re giving away in a variety of colors or featuring your logo.

3. At the end of your qualification period, select a lucky contestant or two and give them the chance to “Pick & Win”. If your lucky finalist finds the two cars out of the 20 with matching colors, they’ll score a set of hot wheels, paid for by Odds On. Or, they’ll get a self-sponsored cash prize that can be used for a down payment.

Or here’s an alternative: Take this promotion to another level and place 40 numbered toy cars or trucks on display. Your contestant then selects two “vehicles” and enters their numbers into our handheld verification unit. If the selected numbers match the preselected winning number, they’ll drive home a winner, and Odds On will write you a check. Kick this one up a notch by adding a custom game board.
