So Close! 2009 Grey Cup Conditional Rebate

With Bowl Games and Playoffs just weeks away, we thought this story would warm the hearts of retailers everywhere …

Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada -To increase traffic and sales this fall, Paradise Leisurescapes gave their customers a powerful incentive to make a purchase… the chance to receive a 100% rebate on their spa/hot tub purchase if the Saskatchewan Roughriders won the Grey Cup, the Canadian Football League’s version of the Super Bowl, this season.

The underdog Roughriders – as well as all of Paradise’s many hot tub buyers, surely thought they had it in the bag after Montreal’s Damon Duval missed a field goal in the closing moments of the game.

Conditional Rebates Work!

However … unfortunately for Rider fans there was a 13th man on the field, prompting a penalty kick. Duval made good on his second chance from 33 yards, giving the Alouettes a stunning 28-27 victory over the Roughriders in what is sure to be remembered as a classic CFL championship game.
Could your sales use a boost? With playoffs and bowl games just weeks away, give Odds On Promotions a call today to create a sales-driving conditional rebate of your very own!
