Insure a Tortilla Toss Promotion with Odds On Promotions!

Today is October 4th! What are you doing to celebrate National Taco Day?

Whether you’re a Mexican restaurant, or a business looking to capture some headlines on National Taco Day (today) National Tortilla Chip Day (February 24) or Cinco de Mayo (May 5), chances are you’re going to flip for this fun and unique promotion idea: a giant-prize tortilla toss!

To kick off your promotion, you’ll want to advertise the chance to win big at your location for making the perfect tortilla toss, then start collecting contestant registrations. Narrow down contestants to a pre-determined number by running a qualifier of some sort – for example a burrito rolling contest, a lime-eating contest or even a random drawing. The choice is strictly up to you.

Next, hand your finalists a corn or flour tortilla and point ’em towards your target.   If a lucky contestant can land their tortilla on the target or toss their tortilla through the opening of the target template (try to say that 10 times fast), they’ll win “mucho dinero”, and Odds On will pick up the tab.

Wondering what this might look like? Check out this footage from a giant prize frisbee toss promotion!

For added fun, be sure to have your staff dress up for the promotion.  Giant sombreros, taco costumes, maracas… the possibilities are endless!  (And if you’re feeling extra festive, Odds On can even customize a Cinco de Mayo or Mexican-themed Video Scratch and Win promotion for your business as well!)

Be sure to award auxiliary prizes for each customer who comes close to winning your tortilla toss; you don’t want them to leave empty-handed!  Restaurant gift cards, food items, a trip to either Cancun or Cabo… the choice is yours!

Interested in insuring a tortilla toss promotion?  Don’t hesitate to give us a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote!  You can also email us as well.  ¡Buena suerte!

Dealership Celebrates NFL Opening Day with 4 Promos

Looking to kick off the start of the NFL (or CFL) season in style this year?

Whether you’re a retailer looking to increase sales or a media company looking to boost TSL & CUME, you’re sure to pick up some pointers from this promotion in which a Canadian car dealership is teaming up with a local restaurant to insure four great promotions at their location through Odds On Promotions, come Opening Day!

The first three promotions being insured that day are Return for Riches promotions.  If a member of any of the three receiving teams returns the opening or second half kick-off for a touchdown, then a lucky patron customer will win a $25,000 vehicle, courtesy of the client’s dealership and paid for by Odds On!

The fourth and final promotion is a  Video Scratch & Win promotion, where each end every customer will have a chance to participate!  Customers simply select 6 areas on the touchscreen and attempt to find 6 matching football symbols.  6 out of 6 symbols will land them $50,000!  Smaller auxiliary prizes will also be awarded to customers who find fewer symbols.

Theme Your Next Promotion Around a Country!

Now here’s a fun idea that’s sure to drive traffic and boost participation at your next big promotion and/or event: Taking a country (or even multiple countries!) and theming your next event around them!

While this idea is perfect for holidays such as Cinco de Mayo, Chinese New Year, Greek Easter and more, that doesn’t mean you still can’t hold your country-themed promotion any time of year… regardless of what type of company/organization you are!

Casinos/Gaming – How about holding a Russia-themed gameboard promotion featuring Odds On’s Lucky Envelopes?  Odds On can customize the artwork of your inserts featuring a variety of Matryoshka dolls which represent differing dollar amounts.  If any of your players participating in the promotion open up their envelopes and find 3, 4 or 5 of the biggest sized doll, then they can win grand prize coverage up to $1,000,000… paid for by Odds On!  Need complimentary prize ideas?  How about treating your players to a free drink coupon worth one free shot of premium vodka.  Don’t forget to “set the stage” by decorating the casino floor area with various Russian elements and dress up your staff in traditional Russian fur hats and scarves for even more fun!

Restaurants – What type/ethnicity of food do you offer to your customers?  Here’s a fun example of something a Greek restaurant could hold in order to boost traffic to their location: a custom Greek-themed video scratch and win promotion!  Using the touchscreen, have your customers try and find the “Greek key” symbol on all 6 spaces on the touchscreen that they select… if they’re successful, they can win up to $100,000 in grand prize coverage — compliments of Odds On!  Be sure to play your favorite Greek music and hire belly dancers to set the mood!  Looking for complimentary auxiliary prizes to hand out to customers who don’t manage to score big?  Hook them up with a free tiropita (or other food item of choice), shot of Ouzo or even a complimentary piece of Greek jewelry featuring the ‘Mati.’  OPA!!!

Media – Feel free to set up a variety of events which include promotions at various remotes to maximize attendance (as well as the chance for your dedicated listeners to win)!  Again, the country/countries you choose are absolutely up to you!  Whether it’s holding a dice roll contest to spell out “J-A-P-A-N” or an Ireland-themed event featuring a customizable scratch card promotion where attendees need to scratch and unveil a certain number of matching symbols (in this case, a shamrock), Odds On can help you out!

Need more country, promotion and/or decor ideas?  No sweat!  Just give Odds On Promotions a call at 888-827-2249 or email us — we’d be happy to help!  And remember: all of our grand prize coverage quotes are free and no-obligation.
