One More Miracle: Man Wins Dodge at Outreach Event

Chickamauga, Ga. – Larry Griffith of Rock Spring won a 2014 Dodge Ram truck at the Oakwood Baptist Church’s Northwest Georgia Sportsman’s Expo, courtesy of Jenkins Chrysler Jeep Dodge, and paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Griffith won the new truck, which was the grand prize fundraising raffle, after he selected a Money Bag which contained the lucky prize-winning envelope.

Billed as “A day full of wild game, wild life, music, and a life changing message,” the NWGA Sportsman’s Expo also featured a wild game dinner, a gun raffle, hunting supplies, a car and motorcycle show, music and activities for children.

According to Scott McSpadden, Director of Men’s Ministry with Oakwood Baptist Church, the Expo, which is a key outreach activity run by the church’s Woods and Waters Ministry, drew approximately 800 attendees, while the raffle raised $500 will be used to supplement future outreach projects.

“It was really big day – and we were hoping for one more miracle. Having a big winner like that was exciting. It ended everything with a big boom.”

Anniversary Promotion Idea: Pawn Shop Runs $50K Dice Roll Promotion

Looking for a fun way to celebrate your next major business milestone? Whether it’s your company’s first anniversary or its centennial, Odds On Promotions has an idea that will help you grab headlines and turn heads!

For example, to celebrate their 10th year in business, Fastcash Pawn recently gave a few lucky customers the chance to win $50,000, paid for by Odds On, in a dice roll promotion.

To qualify for a chance to win the grand prize, from August 18th through September 20th customers logged on to the company’s website, clicked a contest banner, and entered their contact information into Odds On’s online contest registration form.

At the conclusion of the registration, 10 lucky contestants were selected and each got the chance to roll a set of four oversized (16″) dice, each featuring a Fastcash logo. If a lucky contestant rolled a winning combination (four logos) they’d win the $50,000 grand prize and Odds On would write the check.

Baseball Contest Ideas: Home Run Derby Worth $30K

baseball contest ideas - homerun derby In need of some baseball contest ideas that will increase fan attendance and engagement at your next big game? If so, then you’re going to absolutely love hearing about this baseball promotion we helped a Minor League team in the Northeastern U.S. to insure as part of their Opening Day
— a Home Run Derby Contest!

Here’s how the baseball contest worked … on Opening Day, one lucky fan, chosen via raffle ticket, was selected to take three swings at a baseball off of a hitting tee placed at home plate. If they successfully “hit one deep” over the six-foot-high fence, they would have been awarded generously – with a brand new truck valued at $30,000, compliments of the sponsor and paid for by Odds On.

While unfortunately, the fan who was selected didn’t score the vehicle, they still had an absolute blast — as did all of the other fans!

While winning an insured grand prize is always nice, it’s definitely not all that counts. When I think about what qualifies as a “winning promotion”, I tend to think about factors such as increased attendance, fan excitement, and interaction… as well as capturing valuable marketing information from your fans! Speaking of which, be sure to check out our Online Contest Registration.

Baseball Promotional Nights: $5,000 Grand Slam Inning

Are you looking for an exciting baseball contest that will showcase you team or a key sponsor’s business during a baseball promotional night? Odds On has been working with a Minor League Baseball team based out of the Northeastern U.S. to insure a baseball promotion at ten of their games during the season!

For this team’s baseball promotional nights, the contest is a Grand Slam Inning promotion. During each of the ten games, if a member of the team makes an out of the park grand slam home run during the 4th inning of the game, one randomly selected fan will score a $5,000 home theater system, compliments of local Audio/Video retailer – the contest sponsor, and paid for by Odds On Promotions!

Baseball Promotion Idea: Ten Millionth Fan Promotion!

I’m back with another baseball promotion idea that a Minor League Baseball team insured in the Midwest – and it also happens to be an “nth” fan promotion, just like the prior baseball promotion idea story that I shared earlier!

Here’s how the promotion worked: On the specified promotion date, fans were eligible to sign up and be chosen to participate in the promotion at the baseball game through the 4th inning. The ten millionth fan through the turnstyle became the lucky contestant in Odds On’s “Ten Runs and Win the Game” promotion! If the baseball team scored exactly ten (10) runs and ended up winning the game, the lucky fan would have been awarded $10,000… compliments of Odds On Promotions!

While unfortunately, there was no grand prize winner, the MiLB team played it smart and didn’t dare leave the lucky 10,000,000th fan empty-handed: they were awarded with a team prize pack, valued at $1,500, which consisted of tickets, various team-branded memorabilia and more!

I love “nth” fan promotions – they’re a great way to increase game day attendence and excitement among fans. Especially when the promotion doesn’t consist of a skills-based contest — the fans merely walk through the turnstyle, the “nth” fan is chosen to be the contestant and sit back and watch the game, in hopes of a certain prize play occurring!

That’s not to say that we don’t offer various baseball promotion ideas which consist of prize plays, however — check out a list of the baseball promotion ideas on our website and then give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote… or if you have a unique promotion idea of your own! You can also email us for more information.
