PA Baseball Team Holds Hit for The Cycle Promotion With a Twist!

Looking to increase fan engagement and turnout at your next baseball game… or even for the entire season?  This Pennsylvania baseball team is doing exactly that, by holding a Hit for the Cycle promotion!

This isn’t any ordinary Hit for the Cycle promotion, however — not only is it going to be a season-long promotion, but one lucky fan from each home game during the promotional period will be selected at random to actually be able to choose a designated player to hit for the cycle!

That’s right: if the player the fan chooses scores a single, double, triple and homerun during the specified game, they’ll win $25,000… compliments of Odds On Promotions!

“Having the fan choose the player to hit for the cycle is a win-win situation”, explains Linda Thomson, Sports Promotion Specialist with Odds On.  “Not only does it make the fan feel especially included during the promotion, but it’s a cheaper solution if you’re on a budget!”

Conditional Rebate Promotion: No-hitter at Baseball Game

What happens when an insurance agency and jewelry store team up?  They hold one heck of a ‘no-hitter’ conditional rebate promotion at a baseball game!

Talk about a gem of a baseball promotion … a jewelry store in Iowa gave their customers the chance to get a 100% rebate on all purchases made during a special sales event if the home team racked up a no-hitter  (after 9 complete innings, there was no officially scored hit for the opposing team) during the 2012 season opener.

Interested in insuring a no-hitter conditional rebate promotion of your own and giving your customers a chance to win their merchandise free of charge?  Contact Odds On Promotions today at 888-827-2249 or email us for a free, no-obligation quote and other baseball contest ideas!

Trap Shooting Contest: When Bullets and Baseball Collide

trap shooting contestNow here’s a fun trap shooting contest that’s sure to grab your attention.  We’re sure you’re wondering: What do trap shooting and baseball have to do with each other?  Read on as we explain what this particular Southeast shooting organization did to help fundraise… and how they incorporated both sports into the promotion!

On March 31st, a group of baseball legends and avid shooters got together to do a little trap shooting and raise some dough.  Participants, excluding the legends, got the chance to win big in a contest in which 50/50 trap targets had to be broken.  Those who managed to shoot all 50 were then entered into a raffle and 4 of those qualifiers were chosen at random to participate in an very unusual baseball target throw promotion!

What made this target toss unusual?  Well, it wasn’s just ANY target … the qualifying contestants had to throw a baseball at a moving clay target and have the ball break through it. The reward for making this innovative shot? A brand new Harley-Davidson motorcycle valued at $12,000.

Makes you think, doesn’t it?  What other sports can be paired up to produce an entertaining promotion?  Football + golf = pass, punt & chip!  Basketball + bowling = court bowling promotion!  Golf + olive = olive in one!

“Hole” Lot of Dough: Baseball Team Launches Creative Homer Hole Promotion

Grab yourself a cup of coffee and get ready to read about a seriously fun way a minor league baseball team is showcasing the sponsor of their season-long Homer Hole promotion.

After securing a local doughnut shop as the sponsor of the team’s Homer Hole contest, a Midwestern minor league baseball team will be placing an enormous doughnut on the outfield wall as the target.

That’s right, if a member of the team hits a homerun though the “doughnut hole”,  a lucky fan will win $20,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

“Homer Holes are HOT this season”, stated Linda Thomson, Sports Promotions Specialist with Odds On Promotions.  “As long as the target opening meets the appropriate specifications, you can be as creative as you’d like.  And, depending on the type of baseball promotion you’re running, Odds On can even customize and a ship a target template to you.”

While using a “donut hole” was clearly a great way for this team to create an affordable big dough promotion that showcases the sponsor’s business, it also presents a great way to “brainstorm” additional sponsors…

Automotive/tire companies  –   Have fans pitch a baseball through a giant steering wheel or tire.

Jewelry stores – Talk about a great way to give away a ‘diamond’ ring, tennis bracelet or necklace!

Home Improvement or Hardware Stores – Sponsors and fans could go ‘nuts’ over any number of home improvement products from washers and windows to circular saws!
