Newspaper Promotion Insured in Mid-Atlantic

Are you in the newspaper industry? Looking for a great newspaper promotion to help increase readership and drive traffic to sponsor locations in the process? Then you’ll definitely appreciate this holiday promotion that a newspaper company in the Mid-Atlantic insured with Odds On Promotions…

How This Holiday Newspaper Promotion Worked…

In the month of December, each Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday’s newspaper contained an insert which featured 6 extravagant holiday gifts. Readers were directed to put the 6 holiday gifts in the order of their choice and drop it off at one of six participating local sponsor locations, for a chance to win $50,000 in prizes!

At the conclusion of the entry period, the newspaper randomly selected one list from each of the six sponsor locations to see if any of the reader’s had placed their items in the same order as Odds On’s preselected winning order. While none of the selected entries featured the winning order, the promotion drove valuable foot-traffic during the holiday shopping season while allowing the newspaper to showcase selected sponsors and their merchandise.

Tire Company Insures $20,000 Retail Promotion

Looking to insure a retail promotion that will have your customers lining up for a chance to win? Want to increase sales on a specific day or during a certain period of time? Check out this giant prize promotion cooked up by a Canadian tire store and their Pennsylvania-based marketing company!

Traffic-Driving Retail Promotion

On the specified promotion date, customers who visited the tire store got the chance to win a $20,000 vehicle in a hockey-themed Video Scratch and Win Game.

In order to play and win, customers chose 6 different spots on the game’s touchscreen. If all 6 spots on the game screen revealed a winning prize symbol (in this case, hockey pucks), then one lucky customer would driven home a winner.

According to Damien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, “While there was not a grand prize winner for this retail promotion, the tire company and their agency ensured winning experience by providing a number of auxiliary prizes for customers that found fewer winning symbols… including hockey sticks signed by ex-Flyer and Penguin, Rick Tocchet, a Toronto native. What’s more, the retailer opted to hook the Video Scratch and Win kiosk up to an larger screen, ensuring everyone in the dealership could see what kinds of prizes people were winning.”

Lucky List Promotion Insured at 2 Supply Company Locations

Looking for a way to increase traffic and reward customers for shopping at your location? Need a creative way to drive additional traffic in order to move excess inventory? How about running a Lucky List promotion?

Increase Traffic & Reward Customers with a Lucky List Promotion

Here’s how the promotion worked: During the month-long promotional period, each supply company location insured their own Lucky List promotion where customers would have a chance to put 9 Christmas gifts in a specific numerical order. Each customer who entered the store was given a list of the 9 Christmas gifts and had the opportunity put them in the order of the choice.

Once all of the “Lucky Lists” were completed, the supply company randomly selected a few lists and submitted them to Odds On’s to see any of the lists matched a predetermined numberical order. If so, that individual would have won all of the gifts on the list, totalling $50,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

Want to give your customers the satisfaction of knowing whether or not they’re an immediate winner? Rather than using submitted entries, you can place Odds On’s handheld verification unit inside your store! Customers can then input the numerical order, and if they’re a winner, the handheld unit will notify them on the spot!

Fundraising Promotion Brings Together Station, Car Dealer & DECA Club

Odds On’s Internet Business Development Manager Damien Anderson recently assisted Bryant Motors with a creative fundraising promotion in conjuction with a local radio station, BOB 92.3, and the DECA Club of Smith Cotton High School.

Fundraising Promotion Featuring A Dodge Dart

This Fall, Bryant Motors partnered with radio station BOB 92.3 in Sedalia, Missouri and the local high school DECA club, giving everyone who made a donation the chance to win a Dodge Dart in a Pick 3 of 10 Lucky Envelopes promotion at a basketball game.

For several weeks leading up to the big game, the Smith-Cotton High School’s DECA Club sold raffle tickets. Each week a lucky finalist was randomly selected and announced on air by Denny Perkins, during the BOB 92.3 morning show. Each finalist received $100 plus a chance to win the 2013 Dodge Dart, courtesy of Kyle Herrick at Bryant Motors, and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

On January 4th, during a Smith-Cotton basketball game, one lucky finalist out of the five weekly qualifiers got the chance to select three Lucky Envelopes out of 20, in hopes of locating three symbols: the front; middle; and back of a Dodge Dart – thus winning the new car from Bryant Motors. While there wasn’t a grand prize winner, DECA awarded the lucky finalist an additional $100 as a consolation prize. All proceeds from raffle went to benefit Child Safe.

Driver’s License Match Promotion: Perfect for Radio Stations!

A radio station in the south recently gave fans the chance to win a giant prize in a Driver’s License Match promotion insured by Odds On Promotions!

During the month-long promotion, listeners tuned in daily for the cue to call. The ‘nth’ caller then had the opportunity to match the last 4 digits of their driver’s license number with Odds On’s preselected 4-digit number. If it ended up being a match, the lucky listener would win $50,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

On-Air License Match Games Made Easy

“Our Driver’s License Match promotion, ‘Licensed 2 Win‘, is an extremely simple contest to hold on-air thanks to Odds On’s internet verification system”, explains Chris Gardiner, Northeast and Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions. “When the caller is on the line, the DJ simply logs on to the online verification system and enters in the caller’s name, along with the license numbers the caller provides, to see if it’s a match. If it isn’t, the window automatically closes. If the number does match, then the DJ is prompted that they have a grand prize winner and to contact Odds On Promotions right away.”

Odds On’s Driver’s License Match promotion can be built using 3, 4, or 5 numbers based upon the sponsor and/or station’s budget, the length of the promotion and the size of the prize.
