Conditional Rebate Promotion Heats Up Sales for Pool Supply Company

What if I told you that you could build an effective sales promotion around the weather?

Whether it’s temperature, rain, snow, wind, sleet, or even a Sharknado, Odds On can insure a conditional rebate promotion to help your business increase sales during a specified promotional period.

This spring, a pool supply company based out of Wisconsin contacted us with a fabulous weather-based conditional rebate promotion: If the temperature reached 100 degrees or above on the 4th of July, then all purchases made by customers during the prior promotional period would be absolutely free to them.

That’s right, 100 degrees = 100% rebate.

Conditional Rebate Promotion: Multiple Types…

As I mentioned before, a conditional rebate can be weather, temperature or even sports-based conditional rebates! For example: if your local team wins the big game, hits a grand slam, scores a defensive touchdown, or whatever the conditional happens to be… then all purchases made by customers during your promotional period will be free! You can get as creative as you wish – based upon your business – and they are easy to run.

You simply advertise the chance to win big for stopping by, use the rebate to help you close additional sales and then wait for the specified “condition” to take place.

Weather Insurance Coverage Pays Off for Youth Baseball Team

Leawood, Kan. – Ever wonder if weather insurance is worth the investment? Imagine if your golf tournament was an essential part of your annual budget and you woke up to an unseasonably late snowfall.

This May, the Kansas City Royals weren’t the only baseball team that had to cancel a big event thanks to a late season snowstorm. On May 3, 2013, the KC Rays, a travelling youth baseball team, had to cancel their annual golf fundraiser at the Prairie Highlands Golf Course in Olathe, after Winter Storm Achilles delivered an historic amount of late season snow to the Midwest and parts of the South. The golf event, which raised just over $7,000 for travel expenses and uniforms, is a critically important part of the team’s annual fundraising efforts.

However, thanks to Odds On Promotions, this cloudy situation ended up having a very silver lining. That’s because the KC Rays had taken out a weather insurance policy to ensure that the bad weather didn’t spoil their entire season. The team’s event was insured for $7,200, which meant that the season wouldn’t be a complete bust.

According to Branden Banks with Haas and Wilkerson, who helped the KC Rays secure their coverage, “This insurance coverage was a huge safety net for the team – there just wouldn’t have been enough time to recoup what the golf tournament generated. Our Odds On Promotions representative, Damien Anderson, kept me posted throughout the claims process. He was great to work with. Having this coverage took the burden off of everyone. The team was very grateful.”

Conditional Rebate Worth Over $1,000,000 Insured by Furniture Store

Check out how this furniture store in California increased traffic to their locations and generated sales in the days leading up to Super Sunday using a sports related conditional rebate promotion insured by Odds On Promotions.

In the weeks leading up to Super Sunday, customers who made purchases at the furniture store had the chance to win a 100% rebate, if the 49ers shut out the Ravens on game day! That’s right, if the 49ers held their opponent to zero, customers would PAY zero… compliments of Odds On!

According to Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager with Odds On Promotions, “Conditional rebates are a great way to generate revenue and traffic — especially when you center it around a huge national sporting event such as Super Sunday.”

Woodhead noted, “Of course a conditional rebate doesn’t need to be sports-based. Conditional rebates can be weather-based as well. For example, if it reaches 100 degrees or more on a specified promotional date, customers can receive their purchases free – or if a certain amount of snowfall occurs on x date, customers can get a 100% rebate on items purchased during the promotional period. There are many different possibilities when it comes to conditional rebates, which makes them one of my favorite retail promotions for our clients.”
