Check out how this car dealership in the South created an online promotion around their spokeswoman’s pregnancy.

Yes, you read that right. The dealership built a fantastic guess and win promotion built around their spokeperson’s baby’s birthday.

In a bid to generate donations for a local charity while creating a buzz, a Toyota dealership is giving locals the opportunity to win a 2013 Toyota Sienna, paid for by Odd On, based on the baby’s due date and weight!

Participants can submit entries via an online Facebook contest, or at the dealership’s website.  The individuals who came the closest – or gets an exact match –  will then get the chance to participate in a Pick ‘Til You Win Lucky Envelopes promotion, which will take place at the dealership.

In a Pick ‘Til You Win Lucky Envelopes contest, contestants select envelopes, and open them one at a time revealing one of 3 different prize symbols. When they get 5 matching inserts, they win the indicated prize.

In this contest, if the five grand prize winning inserts are collected first, the lucky finalist will instantly win a brand new 2013 Toyota Sienna, valued at $30,000… and paid for by Odds On Promotions!

We’ll have to wait a few months to see if there’s a winner, but we think this one is a winner for charity and the dealership right now!

holiday promotion - easter egg hunt lucky envelopesCheck your calendar: Is there a big holiday coming up?  Then don’t just stand there — take action, like this car dealership in Missouri did, by using Odds On’s contest insurance to hold one heck of a winning holiday promotion!  Damien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, is here with the full story.

To  increase donations for a local charity and boost attendance at a community Easter event, a Missouri-based car dealership teamed up with a non-profit organization that  focuses on child abuse prevention to insure a Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelopes promotion!

Here’s how the holiday promotion worked: During the venue’s Easter Egg Hunt event, one lucky hidden egg contained a note, notifying the “egg hunter” that they had found the chance to  participate in the insured Lucky Envelopes contest!

Are you looking for an affordable way to meet – or better yet – exceed your sales and traffic goals? A scratch card promotion is a great way to give everyone who takes a test drive a chance to win big! Check out how this dealership in the Northeast is using a scratch card promotion at their location!

As part of the car dealership’s “1,000 Car Challenge” — that is, an attempt to sell 1,000 cars during the two-month promotional period, the client reached out to Odds On Promotions to purchase prize indemnity coverage.

Each customer who enters the dealership during the promotional period will be given a customized scratch card, similar to the own shown above.  Customers will simply scratch off a total of 6 surfaces on the card — no more, no less.  If all 6 surfaces of the card reveal matching winning symbols, then that customer is an instant winner of a brand new vehicle valued at $30,000 and Odds On Promotions will pay full retail!

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.”
