Conference Promotions: Here’s a Great Idea for Your Next Event!

conference promotions - lucky envelopesLooking to add some sizzle to an upcoming conference? A Texas-based company in the housing industry recently teamed up with a building products sponsor and was looking for some conference promotions.  Odds On was able to help them to insure a Pick ‘Til You Win Lucky Envelopes contest designed to increase traffic and attendance to their local “Buyer Group” meeting.

On the promotion date, one conference attendee chosen at random via raffle had the opportunity to select from 5 of 40 of Odds On Promotions‘ Lucky Envelopes.  Contained within each of the 40 envelopes were inserts, each of which indicated a prize.  Eighteen of the inserts contained a trip for two prize, 17 inserts were worth a brand new Yeti Cooler and 5 were worth the insured grand prize — $25,000, paid for by Odds On!  Both the trip and cooler were client/sponsor-provided.

As you may already know, the great thing about a Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelope game is that no one goes home empty handed, which is what makes this our favorite out of all of the different envelope games we have to offer.

The contestant just kept choosing and opening envelopes until they collected 5 matching inserts, which indicated the prize they had won.

This conference promotion ended up being such a success that the companies will be doing another promotion, in the exact same way, at their National Conference this Fall.

Bingo Winner Scores $1,000,000, Odds On Promotions Writes the Check!

Bingo-Winner-SlesinskyVerona, NY – On June 29, 2013, Frances Slesinsky of Binghamton won $1,000,000, courtesy of Turning Stone Resort Casino and paid for by Odds On Promotions. Slesinsky won the enormous cash prize, the largest jackpot in Turning Stone’s 20-year history, during a Million Dollar Matinee Bingo Session.

During the final game of the session, the casino offered a minimum payout of $25,000 for Level 3 players. However, if any player was able to cover all the numbers on a bingo card in 47 draws or less, they would take home a million dollar jackpot, which was insured by Odds On Promotions.

As luck would have it, Slesinsky got the final number she needed, “I-26”, on exactly the 47th draw, landing her in the Turning Stone record books and scoring a life-changing million dollar prize.

The million dollar promotion was the first event of Turning Stone’s month long 20th-anniversary celebration, which ran from June 29th through the end of July and featured big ticket giveaways, major casino gaming tournaments, special parties and events.

Casino Sports Sponsorship: Make The Most of Your Investment

$10,000 Grand Slam Inning winner from 2011’s baseball promotion!

Does your casino sponsor a sports team?   I recently helped a Minor League Baseball team in the West Coast insure both a Grand Slam Inning promotion, as well as a Jumbo Dice Roll contest in order to drive traffic back to the casino sponsor’s property… for the 6th year in a row!

Here’s how the casino made the most of their sports sponsorship:

The property insured a Grand Slam Inning promotion during every game this season.  One lucky fan was selected at random before each game and got the chance to win $10,000 in cash if the 4th batter of the team managed to hit an out-of-the-park grand slam homer during the 6th inning of any of the games.   Prize paid for by Odds On Promotions, of course!

$5,000 Casino Dice Roll Winner from 2009’s promotion!

Meanwhile, as a season-long traffic driver, a Jumbo Dice Roll promotion was held at the local casino, on the same dates as each of the baseball games.  Fans who visited the casino after each game got the chance to be one of the lucky pre-selected players to participate in the dice roll contest.  One player on each promotion date rolled six custom jumbo dice.  If all six dice that were rolled landed with the casino’s logo face-up, they would have won $45,000, paid for by Odds On!

But wait, there’s more — if a player happened to roll the dice and 5/6 logos displayed face-up after the roll, they would have still scored $5,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions!  That’s a total of $50,000 in promotion insurance!

While there was no winner this time around, the baseball team, as well as the casino, have both had winners in the past!  In 2009, there was a $5,000 Dice Roll contest winner and in 2011, there was a $10,000 Grand Slam Inning promotion winner!
