Lucky List Promotion Insured By Mississippi Furniture Store

Want to move some merchandise during your February President’s Day sale? Check out how this furniture store in Mississippi increased business on Black Friday with a Lucky List promotion!

Lucky List Promotion: A New Year, New Room Giveaway…

During the promotional period, customers who entered the client’s furniture store had the opportunity to put a list of 8 numbered furniture items in the order of their choice, using Odds On’s handheld verification unit. If the number they entered matched Odds On Promotions‘ preselected numerical order, then the customer would win all of the furniture items on the list: a sofa, love seat, coffee table, lamp, end table, entertainment center, rug and recliner… totaling $10,000 and paid for by Odds On!

According to Odds On’s Damien Anderson, who works with a number of furniture store clients, “One way to ensure success with a Lucky List promotion in the retail environment is to build a large vignette featuring all of the items you are ‘giving away’ as part of your promotion. This way customers can not only get a good look at what they’ll be winning, but it ensures immediate engagement. I also recommend awarding auxiliary prizes to customers who come close to getting their lists in a winning order and, of course, including the promotion in your advertising.”

Insure a Grand Prize Dice Roll Promotion

Are you a retail business looking to increase foot traffic to your location? Are you a casino property looking to increase play and keep players at your location on a notoriously low-traffic day? Or maybe you’re a radio station looking to generate excitement among a crowd at a local remote. Whatever the case may be, a dice roll promotion is definitely right up your alley!

Odds On Promotions’ dice roll promotion is extremely simple to insure and run. First, you’ll decide on a prize amount to insure for. Keep in mind, you can give away anything you’d like – it doesn’t have to be cash! Whether it’s an entertainment package, brand new vehicle or an all-inclusive vacation package, Odds On will insure your prize… up to $1,000,000, in fact!

We will then customize a set of 1″, 4″, 8″ or 16″ dice for your promotion, depending on your preference. Then you get to decide what word individuals will need to roll for (i.e. B-U-I-C-K, W-I-N-N-E-R, M-I-L-L-I-O-N). Or, if you’d rather, you can have individuals try to roll all of the dice with your company’s logo displaying face-up.

When your contestant rolls the winning combination of symbols, they’ll be an instant winner… and Odds On will write the check for the insured prize amount! What’s more? Odds On Promotions will include a poster advertising your dice roll contest, as well as a sign-in binder for all of your contestants where they can write down their information before the big roll.

In addition to the materials Odds On will supply you with for your dice roll promotion, it’s also a smart idea to create your own flyers (see images for example). Have them announce the name of your contest, the date it will be taking place, how much prize money is at stake, as well as any other information and/or graphics you’d like to include. Distribute them to as many people as possible. The more you get the word out there about your grand prize promotion, the more likely you are to have an amazing turn-out!

Bingo Supplier Insures $10,000 Lucky Envelopes Promotion

A new client of ours here at Odds On Promotions has sure surprised us! Most of us assume that a bingo supplier would want to insure a bingo promotion … but this is not at all the case with this Midwest client, who will instead, be insuring a Lucky Envelopes promotion at a local bingo hall to help fundraise for a local school’s youth baseball team!

On the 5 specified promotion dates, one lucky randomly chosen attendee will have the opportunity to choose from 3/30 envelopes. The envelopes will be split into 3 sets of 10. If the attendee is able to choose the correct winning envelope from each set of 10 envelopes, they’ll be an instant $10,000 winner… and Odds On will pay for the prize!

Odds On’s Lucky Envelopes contest is a great way to increase traffic and generate excitement. And here’s a fun alternative that would tie in perfectly with a bingo theme: A Lucky Envelopes promotion where participants must collect 5 separate envelopes which contain the letters B, I, N, G & O. If a participant of the promotion collects all 5, they’d be an instant winner and Odds On would pay out!

Looking for an actual bingo contest to insure at your bingo event? No problem! Odds On’s Bonus Prize Bingo promotion is right up your alley. Here’s how it works: During regularly scheduled pattern games, you’ll sell additional “Bonus Prize” cards and charge players whatever amount you desire. If one of your players obtains the pattern in play on a “Bonus Prize” card before a certain number of predetermined calls, they’ll win a “Bonus Prize”, compliments of Odds On Promotions! And the best part about Bonus Prize Bingo is that you only pay for the cards you sell… and they only cost pennis per card.
