Putting Contest Winner Nails 94-Foot Putt, Wins $10K

brian porter - putting contest winnerBuies Creek, N.C. — We have a new putting contest winner! At Campbell University, it’s not just the Men’s Golf Team that knows how to sink amazing putts.

This February, Brian Porter of Raleigh nailed an impressive 94-foot putt, winning himself $10,000, courtesy of Campbell University, and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Porter, who was selected at random during a media time-out break, stated it had been months since he had played golf, and joked that he was, not only “Excited, but, really glad I didn’t have a heart attack”, after realizing that he had sunk the prize winning on-court putt.

Are you interested in giving your customers or fans the heart-pounding thrill of a lifetime? A big prize putt, whether at a golf tournament, store, event, or at your next basketball game, is always a big crowd pleaser.

Half Court Shot Midnight Madness Promotion Pays Out …

On Wednesday, October 29, 2014,  Matthew Kark found out what it’s like to be the Big Man on Campus after participating in a Midnight Madness promotion.

Kark, a senior at Marist College, won $10,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions, after netting an impressive half-court basketball shot during Marist Madness, the school’s Midnight Madness event.

According to Andy Alongi, Assistant Athletic Director – External Affairs, Marist Madness was ‘revived’ this year by request of the student government. Organized to generate excitement in preparation for the coming basketball season, Marist Madness gave students the chance to meet the basketball teams and participate in a variety of contests and games, culminating in one randomly selected student getting the chance to win $10,000 in the half-court shot contest

.

The event attracted between 800 and 900 students-filling the student section of McCann Arena. Of course, for us, the best part is the response of the students, not to mention the members of the men’s and women’s basketball teams after Kark drained it from center court.

Looking to increase gate and get students and sponsors psyched up for the coming season? Check out our winning roster of basketball promotions, then give us a call at 800-827-2249.

Midnight Madness Basketball Contest: Half Court Shot For FREE Tuition

basketball contest - half court shotWant to add some serious sizzle to your Midnight Madness?  In the words of Linda Thomson, Sports Promotions Specialist with Odds On Promotions,

All it takes is one basketball contest… catered towards your own student body!

On the specified promotion date at this East Coast university, one lucky student selected via t-shirt toss was given the opportunity to make a basket from the half court line.  If the lucky student was able to make the half court shot, they would have received a year’s worth of FREE tuition, valued at over $45,000… and paid for by Odds On Promotions, of course!

Feel free to check out the promotional video that the students put together for the basketball promotion below, then give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us for a free, no-obligation quote on a basketball contest of your own!

Furniture Promotions Can Also Be Basketball Promotions!

Are you a furniture store looking for fun and exciting sales promotion? What if I told you that you could hold your next upcoming promotion in your own parking lot?  That’s right — just take notes from this California-based furniture store who reached out to me, looking to insure a basketball half-court shot contest on their own turf!

Each day during the furniture store’s two-day sales promotion, a lucky customer was selected to take a half-court shot in the store’s parking lot for a chance to win a brand new outdoor kitchen valued at $10,000, paid for by Odds On!  What’s more?  If both customers ended up making the shot, they both would have been awarded $10,000, making it a $20,000 promotion!  Insuring for multiple winners is always a great idea — not only will it end up costing you less in the end, you’ll never have to end a promotion early, should more than one contestant end up winning — and trust us, despite what the odds of that may seem like, a half-court shot happens.

Of course, if basketball promotions can also be furniture promotions, what else could be insured at your store location?  Whether you’re wanting to insure a different kind of sports promotion (an indoor or outdoor bowling contest or golf putting contest, for example) or even a skills-based promotion such as a paper airplane toss, we can insure it!
