Buddy the Elf Day: Promotion for Radio Stations

Radio Stations: December 18th has finally arrived, which means “Buddy the Elf Day” is upon us! Did you know that you can turn a fun ‘holiday’ or any day into a giant-prize promotion that will boost your TSL and CUME?

It starts with an on-air “Phrase That Pays” qualifier. During your targeted dayparts, announce the specific phrase (or in this case, question) that callers will need to answer with when they are called by your station. If they answer appropriately, then they’ll be invited to a station and/or sponsor-hosted party where one lucky finalist will be given the chance to win a life-changing prize.

In this case, since it’s a holiday promotion, your finalist could participate in a Lucky Ornament Pick, getting the chance to choose x of x holiday ornaments, each of which is paired with a corresponding Lucky Envelope. If the Envelopes contain a winning combination of symbols, then your finalist will be the grand prize winner and Odds On Promotions will pay for the prize of your choice!

Bank Insures $25K Scratch Card Promotion at Tradeshow

Looking to increase traffic at your next big event or tradeshow? Then how about insuring a customizable scratch card promotion, just like this U.S. Bank location in the Midwest did?

On the specified promotion date, attendees of the tradeshow who showed up at the bank’s booth were given a customizable scratch card, featuring U.S. Bank’s name and logo. If an attendee managed to scratch off 6 areas on the card, revealing “stacks of cash” symbols, then they’d be an instant $25,000 winner and Odds On Promotions would pay for the prize!

But that’s not all! They also gave attendees an added incentive to stop by and check out their booth by including a registration form on the back of the scratch card and gave one lucky randomly drawn attendee a $250 VISA Gift Card… provided by U.S. Bank!

Northeast Casino Insures $1,000,000 Scratch Card Promotion!

Casino properties, you’re sure to love this one! This promotion story comes to us from a property in the Northeast, which is currently increasing foot traffic with an insured scratch card promotion worth one of four varying prize levels!

During the two-month-long promotional period, any player who signs up for a Player’s Card receives a scratch card from Odds On Promotions. Players simply scratch six spaces on the card, to see if “star” symbols are revealed.

If a player manages to find all six spaces which contain the “star” symbol, they will then proceed to scratch off the “Prize Level” box on the bottom of the card to see what prize they’ve won! If the Prize Level box reveals one dollar sign symbol ($), they’ll receive $5,000. Two dollar sign symbols means they’ll win $10,000. Three, $50,000. All paid for by Odds On.

And here’s the most exciting part: if the Prize Level box shows four dollar sign symbols, then that extra lucky player will win $1,000,000… also paid for by Odds On Promotions!

“Scratch cards are an exciting and cost-effective way of driving traffic to your casino property”, according to Chris Gardiner, Northeast & Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions. “Players love scratch card contests. They like the idea of being able to get a physical card and choose which boxes they are going to scratch off. It’s like your property’s very own lottery ticket!”

Baseball Contests and Promotions

Are you a college/university or professional baseball team looking to not only increase fan attendence, and generate some major excitement in the process? Now is the perfect time to step up to the plate and check out Odds On’s winning line-up of grand prize baseball promotions, which can be insured up to $1,000,000.

Ready to knock one right out of the park this season? Check out a few of our favorite ideas…

1.) Homer Hole Baseball Promotion
Homer Holes are a great, cost-effective way of generating excitement among your fans! Simply place a sign/template past the wall of the outfield. If a big hitter ends up knocking the ball through the hole cut in the template, a preselected fan will win your grand prize and Odds On Promotions will be there to write the check! Some ideas on how to pre-qualify your fan(s) consist of a t-shirt toss, lucky seat or raffle drawing. The choice is strictly up to you!

2.) Hit for the Cycle Baseball Promotion
Easy as 1-2-3! First (1), choose the game or series. Next (2), wait to see if your star player hits a single, double, triple and a home run. Lastly (3), if they do, then one extremely lucky fan will score a new ride, paid for by Odds On Promotions! This is the perfect opportunity to get your local Honda or Harley-Davidson dealership involved as the sponsor of the promotion!

3.) Grand Slam Inning Baseball Promotion
Not only an ideal promotion to insure all season long, but also a great way of keeping your fans in the stands late in the game! Simply pick an inning geared for excitement. If any member of the home team hits a Grand Slam, a randomly selected fan leaves a winner! On a tight budget? Cut the cost of the prize insurance by choosing the fourth batter as your lucky star of the game.
