And, with Odds On Promotions’ new magnetic boards, you just buy the board once and simply change out the graphics depending on what ‘event’ you’re marketing around … from bowl games to slot tournaments.”

So Close! 2009 Grey Cup Conditional Rebate

With Bowl Games and Playoffs just weeks away, we thought this story would warm the hearts of retailers everywhere …

Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada -To increase traffic and sales this fall, Paradise Leisurescapes gave their customers a powerful incentive to make a purchase… the chance to receive a 100% rebate on their spa/hot tub purchase if the Saskatchewan Roughriders won the Grey Cup, the Canadian Football League’s version of the Super Bowl, this season.

The underdog Roughriders – as well as all of Paradise’s many hot tub buyers, surely thought they had it in the bag after Montreal’s Damon Duval missed a field goal in the closing moments of the game.

Conditional Rebates Work!

However … unfortunately for Rider fans there was a 13th man on the field, prompting a penalty kick. Duval made good on his second chance from 33 yards, giving the Alouettes a stunning 28-27 victory over the Roughriders in what is sure to be remembered as a classic CFL championship game.
Could your sales use a boost? With playoffs and bowl games just weeks away, give Odds On Promotions a call today to create a sales-driving conditional rebate of your very own!
