Dodge Dealer Uses Darts to Drive Traffic

This nothing short of amazing promotion comes to us from Kansas, where a Dodge dealer increased traffic to the dealership with a Lucky Envelopes promotion.  The unique aspect to this promotion?  A lucky customer got at shot at winning a Dodge Dart for throwing darts!

On the specified promotion date, one randomly selected customer got the chance to approach a dart board, which was divvied up into numbered sections correlating with Lucky Envelope numbers, and throw two darts.  After letting the lucky customer throw the darts, the dealer opened the two corresponding envelopes to see if matching grand prize symbols were revealed inside of the envelopes’ inserts.  If so, they would have won a brand new Dodge Dart valued at $30,000… and Odds On Promotions would have paid for the prize!

Looking for more unique envelope-opening ideas for your clients?  Get them to participate in a wheel spin!  Have numbers on each section of the wheel — and whichever number the wheel lands on is the one they’ll open!  Or, blow up “X”  number of balloons, which each contain a numbered piece of paper inside, then have your customers pop the balloons at random to see which numbered envelope they’ll be opening!

No Snow? Car Dealers Will Rebate Your Truck!

ATTENTION: Car Dealerships and Retailers! Looking to boost sales and increase foot traffic to your location?  Here’s a promotion idea you’re sure to love – and are more than welcome to steal…  a weather conditional rebate. But this one has a fabulous twist that will have customers singing, “Let it NOT snow” come this winter season!

A Northeast  auto dealership group which consists of 4 separate locations, will be running an interesting twist on the traditional weather conditional rebate promotion.  What’s the twist?  Well, each location will be handing over a rebate to customers if it snows less than 18 inches this winter!

That’s right – if it snows less than 18 inches, customers will see a portion of their money back on all purchases made during the sales promotion and Odds On will pay for it all!

As you may already know, most weather conditional rebates are insured based on based on there being  more than a certain amount of rainfall or snowfall… or if it’s more than a certain temperature (e.g. 100 degrees) outside.  But it works both ways!

“This type of ‘reverse’ weather conditional rebate is definitely unique and we love seeing it insured”, explains Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager with Odds On Promotions.  “Next time your thinking about running a conditional rebate promotion — and depending on where you live, of course — consider giving customers a rebate if it doesn’t snow on Christmas Day, or if it’s less than a certain temperature – 100 degrees, for example – outside on a specific day.  It really tends to enhance the promotional experience and make things even more exciting.”

If the 6-digit number of their birthday (XX/XX/XX) happened to match Odds On’s preselected month, day and year, then the caller would have been an instant winner… and Odds On Promotions would have written them a check for $100,000!  All callers were given an auxiliary prize provided by the station just for playing!
