Hole In One Contest at Toshiba Classic from the Roof of a Hotel

We’re sure you’re thinking to yourself, “What could possibly be more exciting than kicking off this year’s Toshiba Classic with an insured hole in one contest?”

Well, how about making that hole in one from the roof of the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel – a whopping 16 stories above the green!

On March 11, 2012, Odds On Promotions, will write a check for $10,000 to any of the 40 participants who can ace a 119-yard shot from the roof of the Marriott into a hole on the second green of the Newport Beach Country Club. The high-rise hole in one contest, dubbed “Shot From the Top”, benefits the Hoag Hospital Foundation.

Football Promotions for the 2012-13 Season

The NFL season may have ended just hours ago, but here at Odds On Promotions we’re already looking forward to next season, specifically Super Bowl XLVII.

According to Odds On Promotions’ Risk Manager Zak Woodhead, February and March are the best times of year to lock into a promotion tied to your favorite NFL team winning the AFC Championship, the NFC Championship, or even the Super Bowl.

For example, if you’re a New York or New Jersey based company, you could run a sales promotion in March, April or May offering everyone who makes a purchase with you a 50% rebate if the Giants make it to the Super Bowl next year, with a 100% rebate if they win it all (or force a safety in the first play of the game).

Wondering who’s most likely to be playing for the Lombardi Trophy next year? It turns out that some Las Vegas sports book experts have already calculated that the Patriots have the best chance of winning the big game next season, with the Packers coming in a close second.

You can read more about the odds here, then just pick up the phone and give us a call at 888-827-2249 to learn more about running a conditional rebate during the 2012-13 NFL Season!
