Radio Promotions: Off-site, On-Air… Big Prizes, Big Results!

Wondering exactly how a big prize radio promotions can benefit your business?

This spring and summer, Chris Gardiner, Northeast & Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, been working with a broadcasting company based in the Midwest that is running two radio station promotions, both of which are utilizing prize indemnity insurance.

In support of the radio station’s Spring promotion and a Country concert, Odds On’s custom Video Scratch and Win game, “Mega Money Machine”, was taken to nineteen different sponsor locations during various live appearances.

Listeners at each location each got the chance to choose 6 spots on the game’s touch screen. If all six happen to reveal “stacks of cash” symbols, then the contestant would be awarded the insured grand prize of $98,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions! Smaller prizes could also be won by listeners who manage to reveal fewer winning symbols:

concert meet and greet passes
stadium blankets
t-shirts
drawstring sports packs
2 GB memory sticks
grocery totes
bottle koozies
“preferred seating” at the concert

Prizes galore; everyone leaves a winner!

On-Air Radio Promotions Too…

In addition to the live appearance Video Scratch and Win promotion, the radio station is also insuring an on-air Playlist Payoff promotion, where select callers will have the opportunity to choose from three of thirty songs on a list, each of which are correlated with a number. If the caller correctly selects the “top 3” songs, preselected by Odds On Promotions, they’ll instantly win — you guessed it — $98,000, compliments of Odds On’s prize coverage!

Two separate promotions, nineteen sponsor locations, multiple chances to win, one big Spring and Summer … worth over $196,000 in cash and prizes! Talk about ear-candy!

Looking For a Custom Hot Seat Promotion For Your Casino?

If you’re a casino property, then chances are you’re always on the look-out for hot seat promotions that drive results, are unique to your property and are affordable enough to run on a regular basis. Which is why I think you’re going to really like this: a custom handheld Video & Scratch and Win hot seat promotion!

Here’s the scoop. During the month of July at this casino property, players were selected to play a custom Fourth of July-themed Video Scratch & Win tablet game. Each randomly selected player selected six spots on the handheld tablet’s touchscreen – if one lucky player happened to reveal 6/6 winning grand prize symbols (which in this case, happen to be ‘fireworks’ symbols coupled with the property’s logo) then they would win cash and free play… compliments of the casino! Smaller cash prizes and free play were awarded for those who manage to select fewer winning symbols.

According to Becky Bowman, Western Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, “I personally love using the handheld tablet as a hot seat promotion. Here’s why: they are extremely easy use, they’re cost-efficient, you’re bringing the promotion to the player at their gaming position, they are fun to play… and, best of all, they are completely customizable! If Odds On doesn’t have a stock game you’re interested in, we can create a completely custom game for your property – including a customized ‘faceplate’ to showcase your game.”

Furniture Promotions Can Also Be Basketball Promotions!

Are you a furniture store looking for fun and exciting sales promotion? What if I told you that you could hold your next upcoming promotion in your own parking lot? That’s right — just take notes from this California-based furniture store who reached out to me, looking to insure a basketball half-court shot contest on their own turf!

Each day during the furniture store’s two-day sales promotion, a lucky customer was selected to take a half-court shot in the store’s parking lot for a chance to win a brand new outdoor kitchen valued at $10,000, paid for by Odds On! What’s more? If both customers ended up making the shot, they both would have been awarded $10,000, making it a $20,000 promotion! Insuring for multiple winners is always a great idea — not only will it end up costing you less in the end, you’ll never have to end a promotion early, should more than one contestant end up winning — and trust us, despite what the odds of that may seem like, a half-court shot happens.

Of course, if basketball promotions can also be furniture promotions, what else could be insured at your store location? Whether you’re wanting to insure a different kind of sports promotion (an indoor or outdoor bowling contest or golf putting contest, for example) or even a skills-based promotion such as a paper airplane toss, we can insure it!

Rewarding TV Promotions? How About The Dollar Bill Game!

Looking for some fresh new TV promotions? Need to boost your share? Then check out this Dollar Bill Game promotion Odds On insured for a television station client based out of Kentucky.

Here’s how the promotion worked: Prior to the promotional period, Odds On Promotions placed one-dollar bills into circulation in the TV station’s broadcast area.

Then, every weekday during the month-long promotional period, the serial number on one of the dollar bills distributed was announced on the 5:30pm news. If a viewer happened to have the dollar bill which exactly matched the serial number displayed on the television screen, they had fifteen minutes to call in and claim their prize – $10,000 cash, paid for by Odds On Promotions! (Watch the video below).

The promotion ‘finale’ occurred on the last evening of the promotion – this time, the dollar bill’s serial number – which was displayed on the television screen – would be worth $100,000, if a viewer happened to have an exact match!

This promotion offers multiple chances to tune in and win thousands, which is why I’m a big fan of the Dollar Bill Game. While unfortunately, no one happened to have one of the winning dollar bills, the station drove tune in by giving viewers the chance to win big!
