Looking for a truly original promotion idea? Turn more heads this Fall with a “Win Your Weight In ______” promotion with a little help from Odds On Promotions!
Have you heard the news about pro golfer Elliot Saltman? Saltman scored an ace during the second round at the Madrid Masters on Friday, October 7th, winning a unique hole in one prize: his body weight in ham!
According to the European Tour Media Guide, Saltman weighs an estimated 235 pounds. (That’s 235 lbs. of ham – wow!) Cured and salted ham is considered a delicacy in Spanish culture and the jamón ibérico ham he won is valued at approximately $52/pound! That means Saltman’s ham prize was worth $12,220!
(And let’s face it, the resulting media coverage that the Spanish “ham” industry received was worth every penny!)
Want to generate that kind of publicity for your business, organization or brand? We asked our team to suggest a few “win your weight” promotions for different industries …
1.) Your weight in Free Slot Play
Are you a casino or gaming property looking for an innovative twist on a cash giveaway? How about running a promotion where the prize is your body weight x $100 in Free Slot Play? That means if the winner weighs 150 pounds, they’ll receive $10,500 in free slot play, paid for by Odds On Promotions.
2.) Your weight in electronics
For all you retailers and/or tech-savvy individuals out there, this one’s for you! Award your winner their weight in electronics! To put things into perspective, say your winner weighs approximately 160 pounds. A 50″ LCD TV weighs approximately 70 pounds, which isn’t even half of the winner’s weight! That means there’s room for a lot more added goodies, whether it be a surround sound system, gaming systems, laptops, smartphones, Blu-Ray discs/players or otherwise! The possibilities are endless! And no worries, Odds On will be there to write the check!
3.) Your weight in cheese
Give the gift of cheese to your next big winner — not only will they benefit from it, but their family and friends will as well (should they choose to share, that is). The cheese could be anywhere from your everyday, humble slice of American (valued at $.18 cents per slice) to the world’s most expensive Moose Milk Cheese, which is valued at a whopping $500 per pound! Talk about a head-turner!
