Fundraising Promotion Brings Together Station, Car Dealer & DECA Club

Odds On’s Internet Business Development Manager Damien Anderson recently assisted Bryant Motors with a creative fundraising promotion in conjuction with a local radio station, BOB 92.3, and the DECA Club of Smith Cotton High School.

Fundraising Promotion Featuring A Dodge Dart

This Fall, Bryant Motors partnered with radio station BOB 92.3 in Sedalia, Missouri and the local high school DECA club, giving everyone who made a donation the chance to win a Dodge Dart in a Pick 3 of 10 Lucky Envelopes promotion at a basketball game.

For several weeks leading up to the big game, the Smith-Cotton High School’s DECA Club sold raffle tickets. Each week a lucky finalist was randomly selected and announced on air by Denny Perkins, during the BOB 92.3 morning show. Each finalist received $100 plus a chance to win the 2013 Dodge Dart, courtesy of Kyle Herrick at Bryant Motors, and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

On January 4th, during a Smith-Cotton basketball game, one lucky finalist out of the five weekly qualifiers got the chance to select three Lucky Envelopes out of 20, in hopes of locating three symbols: the front; middle; and back of a Dodge Dart – thus winning the new car from Bryant Motors. While there wasn’t a grand prize winner, DECA awarded the lucky finalist an additional $100 as a consolation prize. All proceeds from raffle went to benefit Child Safe.

Buddy the Elf Day: Promotion for Radio Stations

Radio Stations: December 18th has finally arrived, which means “Buddy the Elf Day” is upon us! Did you know that you can turn a fun ‘holiday’ or any day into a giant-prize promotion that will boost your TSL and CUME?

It starts with an on-air “Phrase That Pays” qualifier. During your targeted dayparts, announce the specific phrase (or in this case, question) that callers will need to answer with when they are called by your station. If they answer appropriately, then they’ll be invited to a station and/or sponsor-hosted party where one lucky finalist will be given the chance to win a life-changing prize.

In this case, since it’s a holiday promotion, your finalist could participate in a Lucky Ornament Pick, getting the chance to choose x of x holiday ornaments, each of which is paired with a corresponding Lucky Envelope. If the Envelopes contain a winning combination of symbols, then your finalist will be the grand prize winner and Odds On Promotions will pay for the prize of your choice!

Casino Gameshow Promotion Tip …

Brent Kelly, Southwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, has a great promotion tip when it comes to running a gameshow promotion … create a cheering squad.

Let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like receiving support from fellow players when it comes to the possibility of winning a grand prize! That’s why we loved Brent’s cool “cheering squad” concept.

“Instead of selecting just one contestant to participate in your Lucky Envelopes or Gameboard promotion, select five. Have them all come on ‘stage’ and randomly select one to be the finalist with the other four acting as a ‘cheering squad’ with their ‘consolation prize’ tied to finalist’s prize,” explains Kelly.

On-floor interaction between players builds a great sense of camaraderie, is a great way to give the impression of “lots of winners” and having a dedicate troop of cheering players will definitely add to the overall “gameshow” experience.
