$25K Prize Vault Promotion for Titanic-3D Screening

Here’s a great way to get bigger bang for your marketing buck: piggyback or theme your promotion around a major media event!  Whether it’s a movie release, movie opening, concert, you name it, if you’re looking to increase foot traffic, having a ‘themed’ promotion won’t just increase your turnout, but the fun and excitement for everyone involved as well!

Here’s a terrific example from an Indiana-based communications company, who based their promotion around the new 3-D screening of the original 1997 movie, Titanic.  In celebration of the advanced screening, a local jeweler teamed up with a local radio station to hold a prize vault promotion the week prior to the screening, encouraging listeners to try their luck at “cracking the code.”

Odds On Promotions programmed a randomly selected 5-digit number into a handheld unit, which comes mounted to the top of the plexiglass vault.  If the number the contestant entered in matched Odds On’s preselected number, then they would have been an instant $25,000 winner!  What made this promotion even better is the fact that participants who attended the actual screening were also able to participate in the promotion as well!

According to Odds On Promotions Internet Business Development Manager Damien Anderson, “One of our clients, a Pennsylvania-based advertising company, is teaming up with a local hardware store to give a randomly selected Facebook user a $50 gift card to their store just for ‘liking’ their page.  This local business experienced well over a 50% increase in fans in just the first seven days of the promotion, with sustained grow and “conversations” over the 30 days of the contest.”

Update 4/2: Home construction company client whose promotion kicked off on March 30, 2012 also experiencing a huge increase in fans… 74 fans only three days into their month-long promotion!

Heartland Homes Insures Prize Vault Promotion at Viewing Party

Prize Vault Promotion Insured by Heartland HomesWith a little help from Odds On Promotions, Heartland Homes out of Lawrence, Pennsylvania is capitalizing on their encore appearance on Home & Garden Television (HGTV)!

Heartland Homes was fortunate enough to be selected to have one of their stunning model units featured on the Cranberry Township episode of HGTV’s “Showcase Showdown.”

This March,  Heartland contacted Odds On Promotions‘ Northeast Business Development Manager Chris Gardiner to assist them in maximizing viewership and publicity surrounding an encore presentation of the show. Chris’ suggestion …  Give everyone who attends the “encore” viewing party a chance to pick a winning number and score $25,000, paid for by Odds On.

Each guest who visited on the day of the viewing party had the opportunity to enter a 4-digit number (‘code’) into Odds On’s handheld Lucky Number verification unit which was attached to the top of a Plexiglass prize vault.  If a lucky party-goer’s guess matched Odds On’s preselected 4-digit number, they would have walked away $25,000 richer that day… and Heartland Homes would have had the peace of mind knowing that there wouldn’t have been any risk of payout.

And if the chance to win $25K wasn’t enough, attendees got to meet the show’s host, Bob Guiney, and interior designers, Joe Berkowitz and Alisha Gwen in the actual home that was featured on HGTV.

Want to increase traffic & participation at your next event?  We’d be happy to help you create a promotion that will make your advertising and PR dollars more effective!

$40,000 Prize Insured at Atomic Ice Derby Fishing Tournament

Looking to “reel in” more players and possible proceeds at your next fishing tournament?  Then be sure to read on about how Carrier Insurance Agency out of Wisconsin not only helped fundraise for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, but also insured a total of $40,000 in prizes through Odds On Promotions this year!

This year’s 3rd Annual Atomic Ice Derby, which took place on January 28th on Lake Onalaska between Wisconsin and Minnesota, included a great 2 digit number match promotion.  Each participant who captured the biggest fish in each one of five “species” categories (Sunfish, Perch, Crappie, Bass and Northern to be exact!) got a chance to enter the final two digits on the tag into Odds On’s phone verification system.

If they received an exact match, they’d win an $8,000 ATV compliments of Odds On Promotions!  But that’s not all: since there were five separate “species” categories, that meant a total of $40,000 could have been potentially won that day!  Wow!

Even though participants didn’t manage to land a winning fish, they were still awarded over 125 free, self-insured prizes.  And perhaps the greatest part of all: a generous amount of money was raised for  St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital that day.  An all-around ‘win-win’ situation for the Atomic Ice Derby.

Looking to insure a similar promotion at your next fishing tournament?  Ready to discuss different possibilities or even pricing?  Don’t hesitate to call us today at 888-827-2249 or shoot us an email any time!  All of our prize insurance quotes are free and no-obligation!
