Door Hanger Promotions Driving Traffic in Southwest

Wonder if your mail pieces are breaking through the clutter? Looking for an innovative way to kick off a grand opening of a new location? Want to meet your customers right where they live?  Door hanger promotions are an effective tool for getting your business noticed and with a little help from Odds On’s they can be an effective tool for driving foot-traffic as well.

This summer, a direct mail and print house based in the Southwest has consistently helped auto dealer clients achieve upwards of 2% response rates with a door hanger promotion insured by Odds On.

The door hangers invited residents to the dealership for a chance to win a brand new car, $2,500 in cash, or a 60″ big screen television, paid for by Odds On, if the code on their door hanger matched a pre-selected 5-digit code that was programmed into one of Odds On’s handheld verification units.

While there was no winning match, the dealerships received a 2% response rate.

Dice Roll Contest Insured by Radio Station Worth $40,000 Vehicle

dice roll contestAttention: radio stations!  We’re here today to tell you how a dice roll contest is a fun and effective way of increasing both TSL for yourself and attendence for your sponsors/remotes!   Just take it from this radio station based out of the Southeastern U.S. that insured a dice roll contest – for a brand new ride –  at a local car dealership!

Wondering how it worked?  Listeners tuned in to the station and were given exact details regarding the dice roll contest: where and when to show up, how the promotion would be conducted and the grand prize at stake.  Come the day of the promotion, one randomly selected customer was chosen to participate in the dice roll promotion.

Radio station employees at the dealership gave the customer six of Odds On’s oversized 8″ dice a roll to see if they could end up with all six dice letter-side-up to reveal the word “W-I-N-N-E-R.”  If they successfully did so, they would have scored a brand new vehicle valued at $40,000, courtesy of the dealership and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Insuring a dice roll contest is a great way to increase sponsor visibility, drive traffic, increase listenership and help give one of your loyal listeners the chance to win big!  For a free, no-obligation quote on a dice roll contest of your own, give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249… or email us for more information!  Looking for more radio promotion ideas?  No problem!  Visit our website.

Bank Promotion Ideas: How About a Lucky Envelopes Contest?

bank promotion ideasAre you looking for some great bank promotion ideas that will help you increase traffic at your location as well as offsite special events?  Here’s a fun promotion a Missouri bank ran at a local festival: a Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelopes contest.

During the four-day-long festival, one lucky attendee each evening was selected to play Odds On’s Lucky Envelopes game. Each of the four participants got the chance to pick from 40 envelopes on display, each of which held one of three different prize symbols.  Whichever symbol the contestant got “five” of first, was the prize that they would win!

In this case, the prizes consisted of $2,000 cash, $2,500 cash… and an insured grand prize of $15,000 cash, compliments of the bank and paid for by Odds On!   Although no one ended picking the five grand prize inserts right off the bat, all four contestants left with a tidy sum in their pockets, thanks to their friendly local bank!

Pick ‘Til You Win is one of my favorite Lucky Envelope games, because every participant leaves a winner regardless of what envelopes they select.  And did you know that Odds On can also supply you with optional money bags to store your envelopes in, or even a stock or customized game board to increase the visibility and appeal of your promotion?  Or, if you’d rather, you can use your own props — whether they be cases, beer steins or otherwise!

Online Promotion Ideas: Need One? Check This Out…

Is your business in need of some great online promotion ideas?  Are you looking to collect valuable marketing information in the process?  I recently assisted a mortgage company based in Virginia in insuring an online Facebook Instant Win promotion.

After sharing with me that their goal was to increase their Facebook fanbase via an instant win promotion, I suggested that the mortgage company run a month-long Prize Vault contest on their Facebook page featuring a $25,000 prize!

To kick off the contest, the mortgage company announced the start of their promotion in their target market areas using direct mail, social media and email blasts.  Recipients were instructed to ‘like’ the company’s Facebook page for the chance to  to participate in the online Prize Vault instant win promotion.

In order to better understand who the participants were, when the fans logged in with their email address, they had to answer  a few brief questions before playing the actual game.  Once the game was activated, and the “prize vault” was displayed on the screen, fans then got the chance to move the four dials on the vault and choose a ‘lucky combo’ of numbers which would hopefully open the vault…  and reveal the insured grand prize of $25,000, paid for by Odds On!

While unfortunately, there was no grand prize winner, a variety of smaller auxiliary prizes, provided by the mortgage company, were randomly awarded to those who participated.  These consolation prizes consisted of iPad Minis, Kindle Fires, Amazon Gift Cards and gift cards to Outback Steakhouse.

What I love about Odds On’s online promotions is that you don’t have to worry about facilitating the promotion once the contest is up on your page. We collect the marketing data, our system randomly determines the winner and all you have to do is sit back and relax, knowing that it’s all in the hands of Odds On Promotions and our A+ rated underwriters, Everest National Insurance Company.
