Southeast Football Team Insures $10K Kick for Cash Promotion

To incentivize fans to wear red to  a particular football game, a college football team in the Southeast is insuring a promotion that’s sure to draw a huge crowd: a Kick for Cash promotion!

On the specified promotion date, one lucky fan wearing red at the game will be selected to participate in a field goal kick!  If the fan can successfully kick a football through the goal posts, they’ll be an instant $10,000 winner and Odds On Promotions pay for the prize!

“Insuring a sports promotion at any of your season games is a great way to not only attract a crowd, but also incentivize fans to fulfill your goals — in this instance, wearing a particular color at a game to show support,” explains Linda Thomson, Sports Promotion Specialist at Odds On.  “While you’re watching the stands fill up with loyal supporters of your team, fans will be excited to have a chance to participate in a contest that could potentially score them some major dough.  It’s a win-win situation for everyone.”

MiLB Team Insures $50K Consecutive Target Throw

Are you a baseball team looking to provide your fans with plenty of entertainment during one of your upcoming games?  Take it from this Minor League Baseball team: choosing one lucky fan to participate in a three consecutive target throw promotion will have the crowd going wild!

On the specified game date, one lucky fan chosen at random via ticket will have the opportunity to throw three baseballs — one after another — through a 15″ target opening.  If all 3 balls successfully make it through, then Odds On Promotions will be cutting them a check for $50,000!

 

Up the ante, just as this team did, and throw in another baseball promotion during game season as well for added excitement… a Homer Hole promotion, for instance!  There’s no limit to how many promotions you can insure in a season, after all.

And whatever you do, don’t let your fans go home empty-handed!  Smaller sponsor-insured prizes during a target throw or homer hole contest such as team-branded merchandise (hats, t-shirts, water bottles, balls, etc.) or a pair of free game tickets are just a few examples of what you can award your qualifier(s) with if they don’t win Odds On’s insured grand prize!

Ready to “play ball” and secure your own grand prize coverage during one, two or even all of your baseball games of the season?  Give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 and we’ll help custom-tailor a baseball contest that’s best suited for you!  You can also email us at any time and request a copy of our Top 6 Baseball Promotions PDF for more great ideas!

hockey rapid fire promotion - notre dameReady to increase attendance at your college/university’s next big game?  Of course you are!  Which is exactly why you’re going to enjoy this hockey rapid fire promotion brought to you by the University of Notre Dame!

On January 20, 2012, Notre Dame Athletics celebrated the grand opening of their new hockey arena (Compton Family Ice Arena) by holding a “Whiteout Celebration!”  During the game, fans received not only received white t-shirts and pom-poms to help celebrate the opening of the new on-campus, two-rink ice facility, five lucky fans got the chance to shoot for a vehicle valued at $50K.

During the game, five fans were randomly drawn via registration forms for a chance to  participate in a Hockey Rapid Fire contest.  While each fan received a prize filled  “goodie bag” in one bag there was a  “lucky puck”, which determined who would get to shoot for the new car.

If the chosen contestant was able to shoot 25 goals from behind the red line into an open next within 30 seconds, they’d  win a brand new Chevy Tahoe (in white, of course!) valued at $50,000 and Odds On Promotions would write the check.
