Direct Mail Promotion Worth $25K Insured at Harley-Davidson Dealership

Hey, auto dealers! Looking for a great direct mail promotion that’s bound to drive foot traffic through your doors? Want to increase sales while gaining valuable marketing information? If the answer is ‘yes’, then you’ll want to pour yourself a cup of coffee and take the time to read about the Video Scratch & Win contest that this Harley-Davidson dealership in Connecticut insured to promote the new 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide!

Direct Mail Promotion Using Video Scratch and Win Game

During a week-long period, customers who presented a direct mail postcard at the dealership got the chance to play Odds On’s Harley-themed Video Scratch & Win promotion, “Born to Ride.”

Each customer selected 6 spots on the game’s touchscreen. For every ‘Harley motorcycle’ symbol that appeared, they would win a prize! 1/6 Harley symbols landed them $5 off any purchase of $25 or more at their dealership; 2/6 symbols would award them a free helmet; 3/6 symbols, a pair of Hustin boots; 4/6, a classic leather jacket; 5/6, a Kendon single-rail trailer…

And now here’s the best part: If a customer managed to select all 6 spots which revealed a Harley motorcycle symbol, they’d win the insured prize, a 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide, valued at $25,000, and paid for by Odds On!

While unfortunately, there was no grand prize winner, many prizes were given away and fun was had by all — and in the process, the Harley dealership gained additional foot traffic and sales during the promotion… all for purchasing contest insurance from Odds On Promotions!

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.
