Radio Station Promotion: $10,000 Number Match Contest

radio station promotion - number matchAre you a radio station looking to increase traffic to your website and/or a local sponsor location?  Chris Gardiner, Northeast & Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, is here to tell you how a radio station in the Midwest did exactly that… with a little help from one of Odds On’s radio station promotions: a Number Match!

During the 3-week-long promotional period, listeners had a chance to visit the radio station’s website and obtain a ‘certificate’ containing a unique, randomly-generated 5-digit number.  Listeners then printed off the certificate and brought it to the participating sponsor’s (in this case, a local car dealership) location.  Listeners would then enter their assigned 5-digit number into Odds On’s handheld verification unit to see if their number matched Odds On’s preselected winning number.  If there was a match then the listener would have won a 2-year lease on a 2013 Ford F-150, valued at $10,000… and Odds On would have paid for the prize!

Bingo Promotion: $100K Sizzlin’ Hot Zoom Ball

bingo promotion - zoom ballAre you a bingo hall looking to target those days and times with lower traffic and play ?  Odds On’s prize indemnity insurance and traffic-driving casino promotions are designed to help you generate incremental gaming revenues.  Evelyn Golding, Southeast Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, explains how one property in the South did exactly that.

During the specified promotional period, players had a chance to participate in one of Odds On’s most attention-grabbing contests — a Zoom Ball promotion!  The summer-themed “Sizzlin’ Hot” Zoom Ball machine consisted of white and red balls.  If a player managed to get 6 red balls into the machine’s “Zoom Zone”, then they’d leave an instant $100,000 winner that day… compliments of Odds On!

“While we do insure actual bingo promotions, such as our Bonus Prize Bingo promotion, it’s always a good idea to ‘mix things up’ every once in a while, the noise of the ball blower coupled with the flashing LED lights created a lot of hype.  Plus, Zoom Ball allows you to award your players with smaller, sponsor-insured prizes for collecting fewer winning balls in the machine’s Zoom Zone,” notes Golding.

Interested in insuring a bingo promotion of your own?  Whether it’s Bonus Prize Bingo or any one of our many available stock Zoom Ball themes, feel free to give one of our marketing specialists a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us.  We can find the perfect promotion for your bingo hall that will have your players going wild!

P.S. Be sure to ask about a customized Zoom Ball theme of your own!  We can accommodate you!

 

Holiday Promotion Idea: Run a Giant Prize Easter Egg Hunt!

holiday promotion - easter egg hunt lucky envelopesCheck your calendar: Is there a big holiday coming up?  Then don’t just stand there — take action, like this car dealership in Missouri did, by using Odds On’s contest insurance to hold one heck of a winning holiday promotion!  Damien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, is here with the full story.

To  increase donations for a local charity and boost attendance at a community Easter event, a Missouri-based car dealership teamed up with a non-profit organization that  focuses on child abuse prevention to insure a Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelopes promotion!

Here’s how the holiday promotion worked: During the venue’s Easter Egg Hunt event, one lucky hidden egg contained a note, notifying the “egg hunter” that they had found the chance to  participate in the insured Lucky Envelopes contest!

Whether it’s a 4th of July conditional weather rebate promotion, Halloween-themed Video Scratch and Win promotion or a Christmas-time Zoom Ball promotion, we have a promotion for every occasion!  Pick up the phone and give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us for more holiday promotion ideas — or better yet, feel free to let us know if you have one of your own.  We’ll even throw in a free, no-obligation quote on your contest insurance policy for you!

 

Baseball Promotion Worth $1,000,000 Insured By Trading Card Company

baseball promotion - beat the streakIt doesn’t matter what kind of business you are, anyone can insure a baseball promotion!  Just take it from Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager with Odds On Promotions who’s working with a large trading card company to insure a “hit the streak” baseball promotion that’s sure to be a homerun with the company’s customers all season long!

Big Dollar Baseball Promotion

During this 7-month-long baseball promotion, customers who purchase trading cards will receive a unique code.  After logging onto the company’s website, customers will create an account and use their code to ‘unlock’ a baseball player.  The more cards a customer purchases, the more opportunities they’ll have to score another code, log on and unlock additional players!

Each day, customers will utilize their “team” of  unlocked players to choose one that they think will get a hit that day.  If the chosen player ends up getting a hit, then a ‘streak’ is started.  If any customer ends up breaking the 56-game hitting streak, then Odds On will pay out… to the tune of $1,000,000!  Smaller client-insured prizes will also be given away during the course of the promotion.

Interested in insuring your own baseball promotion?  Have any unique baseball promotion ideas of your own? Give one of our Marketing Specialists a call today at 888-827-2249 or simply email us.  Not only can we provide you with information and suggestions as to which promotions will work out best for your business/organization, but a free, no-obligation quote on any of the promotions we have to offer as well!

Casino Direct Mail Promotion Worth $100,000

direct mail promotion for casinos - big drawLooking for an effective casino direct mail promotion idea?  Need an efficient way of driving traffic to your casino property this year?  Check how one casino property in the Midwest ended up doing exactly!

The property sent out 41,000 direct mail pieces each containing 6 lucky lotto numbers.  The postcard invited them to the property on two separate dates during the month of February to participate in “The Big Draw”, Odds On’s lottery-style casino promotion.

Using one of Odds On Promotions Zoom Ball machines loaded with numbered balls, the draws were conducted multiple times on each of the specified promotion dates.

If the six numbered balls in the Zoom Ball machine’s “Zoom Zone” happened to match the six numbers on an individual’s mail piece, that lucky player would have been a $100,000 winner… and Odds On would have cut a check for the prize!  Secondary prizes were also awarded during this casino promotion, compliments of the casino, for players who matched fewer lotto numbers.

Like this idea and want to encourage carded play and daily trips?  Then you’ll love “The Big Draw” on Odds On’s Deluxe Kiosk unit!  The larger-than-life presentation is phenomenal and will be sure to have your players hooked!  It’s also a great way to increase time on device during the “drawing dates” increasing coin-in!  Don’t have the room on the floor for our Deluxe Kiosk?  Don’t sweat it — Odds On offers a Countertop kiosk as well.  Check it all out on our website!

For a free, no-obligation quote on The Big Draw, or for any inquiries on the casino promotion itself, give Odds On a call at 888-827-2249 or email us!  We’re here to help with your next direct mail promotion!
