Performance Bonus Promotion Pays Off

Reno, Nev. – This season a tennis apparel company has rewarded one of their brand ambassadors an impressive performance bonus promotion reward not only once, but twice, after he landed in the finals of two ATP events.

The performance bonus agreement rewards the tennis player cash incentives based upon their placement during a variety of tennis events taking place through December 2021.

To date, the player has received one bonus payout after reaching the finals of the Newport ATP 250 in July, followed by a second payout after reaching the finals of the Citi Open, a prestigious ATP 500 event.

But thanks to performance bonus coverage from Odds On, the sportswear company doesn’t need to worry if their ambassador continues to finish well – because Odds On will be there to reimburse them for every qualifying performance between now and the end of the year.

According to Odds On’s Risk Manager, Zak Woodhead, “Performance bonus coverage is a very effective tool for brand marketers, allowing them to offer big incentives to spokespeople, social media influencers and/or brand ambassadors without incurring additional financial risk. It also presents an opportunity for insurance agents to expand their lines of business.”

Million Dollar Tennis Anyone? Racket Up America!

Reno, Nev – Before the BNP Paribas Showdown last week, Christine Smith from Hurst, Texas got the chance any tennis fan would love – the opportunity to make a $1,000,000 Perfect Serve .

Smith got the chance to win the million-dollar prize after winning the “Racket Up, America” sweepstakes, a collaborative tennis industry effort created to build awareness and stimulate sales by giving anyone who registered at the playtennis.com website or bought a new tennis racket at participating retail locations the chance to win $1,000,000 by making a serve through a target template.

Smith, who registered for the contest in hopes of winning some tennis equipment for her daughter’s school, said, “Lo and behold, what do I win but the grand prize.”

As part of the grand prize package, Smith and her daughter also received a free trip to New York City, a sightseeing tour and introductions to Venus and Serena Williams and Billie Jean King, which made for a winning promotion even though Smith didn’t win the million dollar prize.

According to Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager for Odds On Promotions in Reno, Nevada, “Million dollar insured promotions are very effective in generating PR and generating traffic and sales both online and at retail locations. Even small companies can benefit from register-to-win promotions like this.”

$1,000,000 Rally 4 Charity

Men Take a Swing at Guinness World Record, Million Dollar Prize
Milford, Conn. – Isidro Martinez of Stratford and Paul Coorssen of Milford attempted to break the Guinness World Record™ for the longest tennis rally and win $1,000,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions, as part of the 3rd Annual Rally 4 Charity fundraiser at Milford Indoor Tennis. Martinez and Coorssen won the right to go for the record after hitting 5,916 consecutive strokes in a qualifier. While the two men tallied a staggering 6,858 consecutive shots in about an hour and a half, an unofficial world record for such a short time period, it wasn’t enough to beat Rally 4 Charity organizers and world-record holders Angelo and Ettore Rossetti who have set the bar high with a giant 25,944 consecutive strokes.  “Win or lose, it was about the charities,” stated Coorssen, and on that front the event was a success, raising around $10,000, the biggest amount to date.  According to World Record holder and Rally 4 Charity organizer Rossetti, “The million dollar prize did help us to capture more publicity – which is good for the charities as well as for tennis. We were very happy with the service from Odds On Promotions. Zak is always very organized and professional.”
