Million Dollar Shootout Insured at Phoenix Waste Management Open

Now here’s some exciting news: For the 5th year in a row, Odds On’s sister company, Hole In One International, had the honor of insuring a Million Dollar Shootout during the 2013 Phoenix Suns Charities Shot at Glory event which occurred during the Phoenix Waste Management Open on January 30, 2013!

On the infamous 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale, 30 amateur players had a chance to make a million dollar golf shot from 160 yards… for a chance to win $1,000,000, paid for by Hole In One International! Dierks Bentley of country music fame ended up landing his shot 19 feet from the cup. While no one aced the the Million Dollar Shootout, there were still some big victories that day — one of which consisted of giving Bentley’s designated charity — the Jordan Sterling Foundation– $35,000. Runner-up Jim Pitman of the Phoenix Suns raised $25,000 for Phoenix Suns Charities and Dave Steiner of Waste Management raised $15,000 for his selected charity.

Direct Mail Promotion Worth $25K Insured at Harley-Davidson Dealership

Hey, auto dealers! Looking for a great direct mail promotion that’s bound to drive foot traffic through your doors? Want to increase sales while gaining valuable marketing information? If the answer is ‘yes’, then you’ll want to pour yourself a cup of coffee and take the time to read about the Video Scratch & Win contest that this Harley-Davidson dealership in Connecticut insured to promote the new 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide!

Direct Mail Promotion Using Video Scratch and Win Game

During a week-long period, customers who presented a direct mail postcard at the dealership got the chance to play Odds On’s Harley-themed Video Scratch & Win promotion, “Born to Ride.”

Each customer selected 6 spots on the game’s touchscreen. For every ‘Harley motorcycle’ symbol that appeared, they would win a prize! 1/6 Harley symbols landed them $5 off any purchase of $25 or more at their dealership; 2/6 symbols would award them a free helmet; 3/6 symbols, a pair of Hustin boots; 4/6, a classic leather jacket; 5/6, a Kendon single-rail trailer…

And now here’s the best part: If a customer managed to select all 6 spots which revealed a Harley motorcycle symbol, they’d win the insured prize, a 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide, valued at $25,000, and paid for by Odds On!

While unfortunately, there was no grand prize winner, many prizes were given away and fun was had by all — and in the process, the Harley dealership gained additional foot traffic and sales during the promotion… all for purchasing contest insurance from Odds On Promotions!
