“Hole” Lot of Dough: Baseball Team Launches Creative Homer Hole Promotion

Grab yourself a cup of coffee and get ready to read about a seriously fun way a minor league baseball team is showcasing the sponsor of their season-long Homer Hole promotion.

After securing a local doughnut shop as the sponsor of the team’s Homer Hole contest, a Midwestern minor league baseball team will be placing an enormous doughnut on the outfield wall as the target.

That’s right, if a member of the team hits a homerun though the “doughnut hole”,  a lucky fan will win $20,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

“Homer Holes are HOT this season”, stated Linda Thomson, Sports Promotions Specialist with Odds On Promotions.  “As long as the target opening meets the appropriate specifications, you can be as creative as you’d like.  And, depending on the type of baseball promotion you’re running, Odds On can even customize and a ship a target template to you.”

While using a “donut hole” was clearly a great way for this team to create an affordable big dough promotion that showcases the sponsor’s business, it also presents a great way to “brainstorm” additional sponsors…

Automotive/tire companies  –   Have fans pitch a baseball through a giant steering wheel or tire.

Jewelry stores – Talk about a great way to give away a ‘diamond’ ring, tennis bracelet or necklace!

Home Improvement or Hardware Stores – Sponsors and fans could go ‘nuts’ over any number of home improvement products from washers and windows to circular saws!

$25K Prize Vault Promotion for Titanic-3D Screening

Here’s a great way to get bigger bang for your marketing buck: piggyback or theme your promotion around a major media event!  Whether it’s a movie release, movie opening, concert, you name it, if you’re looking to increase foot traffic, having a ‘themed’ promotion won’t just increase your turnout, but the fun and excitement for everyone involved as well!

Here’s a terrific example from an Indiana-based communications company, who based their promotion around the new 3-D screening of the original 1997 movie, Titanic.  In celebration of the advanced screening, a local jeweler teamed up with a local radio station to hold a prize vault promotion the week prior to the screening, encouraging listeners to try their luck at “cracking the code.”

Odds On Promotions programmed a randomly selected 5-digit number into a handheld unit, which comes mounted to the top of the plexiglass vault.  If the number the contestant entered in matched Odds On’s preselected number, then they would have been an instant $25,000 winner!  What made this promotion even better is the fact that participants who attended the actual screening were also able to participate in the promotion as well!

Have an idea for a themed promotion of your own?  Don’t forget to contact Odds On for your free, no-obligation prize vault quote!  Give us a call at 888-827-2249 or email us!  We’ll be happy to not only provide you with the cost of the insurance, but some great ideas for your next upcoming promotion as well!
