Odds On’s Sister Company Pays Out $35K Prize!

Now here’s a prize winner worth discussing:

Richard Ross of Grand Rapids, Michigan won an 18k white gold diamond necklace valued at $35,000, provided by Thomas S. Fox Diamond Jewelers and paid for by Hole In One International, during a hole in one contest at the Crystal Invitational at Cascade Hills Country Club on July 13, 2012.

While this was Ross’ fifth hole-in-one to date, it was also a first, as Ross had never previously won an insured hole-in-one prize prior to his ace on the 150-yard 11th hole.

Multi-Species State Record Weight Fishing Promotion

state record weight fishing promotionPlan on hosting a fishing tournament or fishing derby in the near future?  Looking to increase excitement and give anglers a chance at “reeling in” the dough during the event?  Then how about running one big State Record Weight fishing promotion, featuring multiple species of fish, just as this particular marina in the Gulf Coast did!

For a 3-day period, 300 anglers at this fishing tournament were all in a race to catch various species of fish (yellowfin tuna, dolphin, wahoo, and blue marlin) and weigh them in to see if they would become the new State Record Weight holder for any of the aforementioned species of fish.

After weighing in their “catches of the day” on the official tournament scales, anyone who managed to beat the former State Record Weight for the respective species of fish would win anywhere between $50,000 – $250,000, depending on the species… and Odds On Promotions would have cut a check for the prize amount!

State Record Weight promotion not appealing to you?  No problem!  Odds On insures multiple fishing promotions, including (but not limited to) tagged fish promotions, matching weight promotions, fishing prediction promotions… and many more!

Call Odds On Promotions today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote and more information on your own state record weight fishing promotion.  You can also email us to request a copy of our Top 5 Fishing Promotions PDF, which includes details about the most popular fishing contests we have to offer!

Tennis Ball Toss Insured By SW Baseball Team Worth New Car!

Baseball teams: Looking for a great sponsor package/baseball promotion that’s sure to get your fans fired up? Feel free to steal this idea from a Southwestern baseball team that teamed up with a local car dealership to insure a tennis ball toss at the end of one of their games!

Here’s how it worked: The first 500 fans to register at the car dealership display on the concourse each received a numbered ball. At the end of the game, each of the fans got the chance to throw the ball, in hopes of sending it through a template placed on the car’s sunroof.  If a lucky fan landed the shot, the vehicle (valued at $13,000) would have been theirs to drive away in that day, compliments of Odds On Promotions!

Need more great target ideas?  How about giving fans the chance to win thousands in groceries for throwing a ball into a grocery cart or shopping bag,  compliments of a local grocery store sponsor?   Or, have fans toss the ball into an inflatable soda can in order to win big, courtesy of a beverage sponsor!  There are tons of possibilities!

Ready to “play ball?” Want to insure a tennis ball toss of your own? Call us today to toss around a few ideas, and to pick up a free, no-obligation quote, 888-827-2249.  You can also email us to request a copy of our Top 6 Baseball Promotions PDF!
