$10K Multi-Contestant Pass Punt & Kick Promotion

pass punt & kick promotion - panthers fan festColleges & Universities: Looking to increase excitement at your next big game?  This University in the Northeast did just that at their football fanfest event for students and season ticket holders by insuring a fabulous multi-contestant Pass Punt & Kick football promotion!

Here’s how it worked: On the specified promotion date, three fans were drawn at random via registration forms to come down and participate in the progressive Pass Punt & Kick promotion.  All 3 contestants threw (passed) the football, starting from behind the back line of the end zone.   Then, starting from behind the exact spot where the previous pass hit the ground or crossed a sideline out of bounds, the top two contestants punted the football towards the same end zone.  Finally, the top contestant kicked a field goal through the goal posts at the opposite end of the field from where the sequence began.

If the contestant successully made the field goal, they would have been be awarded $10,000… and Odds On Promotions would have cut the check!  While there was no winner, a fabulous time was still had by all.  Check out the recap on their website!

Casino Insures Million-Dollar Monday Night Football Promotion

Are you ready for some football?  This northwest casino property sure is!

Every Monday night of the NFL season, the casino will be insuring Odds On Promotions’  Lucky Envelopes promotion, featuring a custom game board.  To qualify, players need to sign-up during a pre-determined timeframe.  Players can qualify for additional entries every Monday based on the number of points earned on their player’s card.  If their name is the one announced that Monday evening, they’ll be the one participating in the million dollar promotion!

Here’s how the promotion itself will work: The “football player” will be placed on the 0-yard line located on the left-hand side of the game board.  The player will then choose  4 our of 25 envelopes which are displayed on the game board.  The inserts within the envelopes contain varying yardages which will advance the player across the field, toward the end zone.

If the total yardage of all 4 envelopes chosen adds up 100 yards (i.e. touchdown) then the player will be an instant $1,000,000 winner… and Odds On Promotions will pay for the prize!

And here’s a bonus: The casino won’t be letting the players leave empty-handed for playing!  If the total yardage amount of all 4 envelopes ends up being less than the 100 yards needed to win the insured $1,000,000 prize, then the player will choose 1 of 3 additional envelopes provided.  The yardage inside that lucky envelope will be multiplied by the total yardage achieved to determine the cash prize which will be awarded to the player!  Additional cash prizes and football merchandise will also be awarded throughout the day.

Kentucky Furniture Store Insures Football Conditional Rebate

If you work in the retail industry, chances are you’re looking to increase your sales…  Well, we have a great promotion story for you that comes from a furniture store in Kentucky, and we encourage you all to feel free to steal this idea:

During a week-long promotional period, customers of the furniture store who make purchases will have the opportunity to receive a 100% rebate!  Surely you’re wondering what has to happen in order for them to receive it…

After the week long sale ends, a college football game will take place.  And here’s where the prize insurance element kicks in: if the game results in a “shutout” (that is, if either team fails to post a score above zero), there will be some extremely happy customers… because depending on which team they’re rooting to shut out, they could win a 100% rebate on their purchase(s) … and Odds On Promotions will pick up the tab, relieving the furniture store of any risk!  Quite the win-win situation!

“What makes this promotion so unique is the fact that each customer is able to decide which team they want their rebate tied to”, explains Damien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager with Odds On.  “This is a great way to engage fans of both teams and not make either one feel left out.”

Interested in insuring a conditional rebate of your own?  Great news: there are multiple ways to insure one!  Whether it’s a weather-based conditional rebate where customers receive a 100% rebate on purchases made during a particular timeframe if it snows, rains or reaches a certain temperature on the specified promotion date, or if it’s a sports-based conditional rebate like this one, where customers receive a 100% rebate if your local team wins the big game, hits a grand slam, scores a defensive touchdown, etc. — Odds On can insure it!

Give us a call today at 888-827-2249 to receive a free, no-obligation quote on a conditional rebate promotion from one of our marketing specialists.  You can also email us, if you’d rather!
