Tire Company Insures $20,000 Retail Promotion

Looking to insure a retail promotion that will have your customers lining up for a chance to win? Want to increase sales on a specific day or during a certain period of time? Check out this giant prize promotion cooked up by a Canadian tire store and their Pennsylvania-based marketing company!

Traffic-Driving Retail Promotion

On the specified promotion date, customers who visited the tire store got the chance to win a $20,000 vehicle in a hockey-themed Video Scratch and Win Game.

In order to play and win, customers chose 6 different spots on the game’s touchscreen. If all 6 spots on the game screen revealed a winning prize symbol (in this case, hockey pucks), then one lucky customer would driven home a winner.

According to Damien Anderson, Internet Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, “While there was not a grand prize winner for this retail promotion, the tire company and their agency ensured winning experience by providing a number of auxiliary prizes for customers that found fewer winning symbols… including hockey sticks signed by ex-Flyer and Penguin, Rick Tocchet, a Toronto native. What’s more, the retailer opted to hook the Video Scratch and Win kiosk up to an larger screen, ensuring everyone in the dealership could see what kinds of prizes people were winning.”

Lucky List Promotion Insured at 2 Supply Company Locations

Looking for a way to increase traffic and reward customers for shopping at your location? Need a creative way to drive additional traffic in order to move excess inventory? How about running a Lucky List promotion?

Increase Traffic & Reward Customers with a Lucky List Promotion

Here’s how the promotion worked: During the month-long promotional period, each supply company location insured their own Lucky List promotion where customers would have a chance to put 9 Christmas gifts in a specific numerical order. Each customer who entered the store was given a list of the 9 Christmas gifts and had the opportunity put them in the order of the choice.

Once all of the “Lucky Lists” were completed, the supply company randomly selected a few lists and submitted them to Odds On’s to see any of the lists matched a predetermined numberical order. If so, that individual would have won all of the gifts on the list, totalling $50,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

Want to give your customers the satisfaction of knowing whether or not they’re an immediate winner? Rather than using submitted entries, you can place Odds On’s handheld verification unit inside your store! Customers can then input the numerical order, and if they’re a winner, the handheld unit will notify them on the spot!

If you’re interested in insuring a Lucky List promotion, or any of the other various retail promotions we have to offer, then give us a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote. You can also email us!

Driver’s License Match Promotion: Perfect for Radio Stations!

A radio station in the south recently gave fans the chance to win a giant prize in a Driver’s License Match promotion insured by Odds On Promotions!

During the month-long promotion, listeners tuned in daily for the cue to call. The ‘nth’ caller then had the opportunity to match the last 4 digits of their driver’s license number with Odds On’s preselected 4-digit number. If it ended up being a match, the lucky listener would win $50,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!

On-Air License Match Games Made Easy

“Our Driver’s License Match promotion, ‘Licensed 2 Win‘, is an extremely simple contest to hold on-air thanks to Odds On’s internet verification system”, explains Chris Gardiner, Northeast and Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions. “When the caller is on the line, the DJ simply logs on to the online verification system and enters in the caller’s name, along with the license numbers the caller provides, to see if it’s a match. If it isn’t, the window automatically closes. If the number does match, then the DJ is prompted that they have a grand prize winner and to contact Odds On Promotions right away.”

Odds On’s Driver’s License Match promotion can be built using 3, 4, or 5 numbers based upon the sponsor and/or station’s budget, the length of the promotion and the size of the prize.
