Texas Radio Station Insures $50K Lucky List Contest

Do you work in the media industry?  Check out what this Texas-based radio station is doing to drive traffic to a local car dealership …

During a month-long period, listeners will be instructed to call in to the station for a chance to win a new car, paid for by Odds On Promotions by participating in the lucky list promotion!

After qualifying 60 lucky listeners, the station will invite them to the dealership and give each qualifier the chance to place eight local sport team mascots in a winning order.

To facilitate the promotion and eliminate the need for paper, the station will be utilizing Odds On’s handheld number verification unit.  Each mascot will be given a unique number so that if the 8-digit number they input into the verification unit matches Odds On’s preselected winning order, that listener will be an instant winner and get to choose any car on the lot that day (valued up to $50,000) … and Odds On will be picking up the tab!

According to Evelyn Golding, Southeast Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, “Lucky List is a perfect radio station contest.  Not only are they fun to participate in, but they’re completely customizable.  Depending on your goals, you can have listeners, viewers or readers put any sort of objects in order during your next live appearance — with a number range that varies between 5-9 items, depending on your budget, it is exceptionally flexible. Stations can also use this promotion to drive website and/or social media traffic.”

Two Insured Promotions During Girl’s Night Out Event at Hotel

We’ve all heard it before, “Girls just wanna have fun.”  And what better way to have a grand ‘ol time than knowing you you could win up to $85,000 in cash and prizes?  Check out the following two contests that a promotions company insured through Odds On Promotions during a recent “Girl’s Night Out” event.

The first promotion which was insured that evening was a dice roll contest.  All attendees were given the opportunity to roll seven 1″ dice.  If all seven landed face-up, revealing an Audi logo, then that lucky lady would have driven home in style that night, to the tune of $35,000!

The second promotion insured that evening was a scratch card promotion. Where everyone attending the event got a chance to win big.   If any of the lucky ladies in attendence managed to unveil 6 star symbols, they would have won an instant $50,000… compliments of Odds On, of course.

“Insuring multiple promotions gives attendees multiple ways to win, which ends up boosting attendance and the likelihood of your event being a big success,” explains Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager at Odds On Promotions.  “Needless to say, when you incorporate prize coverage into your events, you give your attendees something to talk about for a long time to come.”
