Promotion Winner Steven Gordon Wins $5K in Football Contest

Castle Dale, Utah – Promotion winner Steven Gordon of Huntington won $5,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions, after he successfully passed, punted and kicked his way 100 yards downfield and through the uprights at halftime during an Emery High School football game.

The Pass, Punt and Kick contest, which was a fundraiser for the Emery High School Girls Softball Team, gave four fans the chance to win the big bucks if their name was selected in a raffle.

Gordon, who is both a coach and the school’s Vice Principal, purchased a $5 ticket just prior to halftime. He was the third contestant to participate in the on-field promotion. Starting at the opposite end of the field, Gordon threw a pass to the 36-yard line, then punted it downfield. He won the dough after he successfully kicked it through the uprights from the 22-yard line.

Tyler Jeffs, an agent with Farm Bureau Financial Services, assisted the Emery
Girls Softball Team with securing coverage for their promotion and provided color commentary for the on-field skills contest. According to Jeffs, “I’ve been using Odds On for years. I just love the service. Everyone in town knows to call me when they want to do this kind of a promotion. This is my second winner, and the claims process was just simple and straight forward.”

Conditional Rebate Worth Over $1,000,000 Insured by Furniture Store

Check out how this furniture store in California increased traffic to their locations and generated sales in the days leading up to Super Sunday using a sports related conditional rebate promotion insured by Odds On Promotions.

In the weeks leading up to Super Sunday, customers who made purchases at the furniture store had the chance to win a 100% rebate, if the 49ers shut out the Ravens on game day! That’s right, if the 49ers held their opponent to zero, customers would PAY zero… compliments of Odds On!

According to Zak Woodhead, Risk Manager with Odds On Promotions, “Conditional rebates are a great way to generate revenue and traffic — especially when you center it around a huge national sporting event such as Super Sunday.”

Woodhead noted, “Of course a conditional rebate doesn’t need to be sports-based. Conditional rebates can be weather-based as well. For example, if it reaches 100 degrees or more on a specified promotional date, customers can receive their purchases free – or if a certain amount of snowfall occurs on x date, customers can get a 100% rebate on items purchased during the promotional period. There are many different possibilities when it comes to conditional rebates, which makes them one of my favorite retail promotions for our clients.”

Ready to reap the rewards of a sports or weather-based conditional rebate? Give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote… or email us with any questions! Be sure to check out the furniture store’s video below for an example of how to advertise your next conditional rebate promotion!

Wondering what a football has to do with a basketball promotion? Read on to find out…

Looking to run a more creative basketball promotion at your next game? One university in the Northern U.S., recently teamed up with a local appliance store to sponsor a football target toss promotion during a basketball game- generating big excitement among the school’s devoted fans!

A week prior to game day, fans had the opportunity to register online for a chance to have dinner with one of this university’s former Heisman Trophy winners, as well as score a pair of tickets to the big game!

Another lucky fan, also chosen via random online registration, received a big dollar opportunity: the chance to throw a football 25 yards through a target template placed in the middle of the basketball arena! If the lucky fan made it, the contestant would have been a $25,000 winner, and Odds On would have cut a check for the prize.

While unfortunately, there was no grand prize winner, a good time was still had by all and the fans in the stands couldn’t have been more excited to see one of their fellow supporters being given the chance to win big, compliments of Odds On Promotions!

Online Selection for Basketball Promotions Made Easy

While running a football-themed promotion at a basketball game is a creative way to engage fans, using an online registration process to select a contest participant is an effective way to drive traffic to your web and social media sites.

And Odds On Promotions’ customizable online contest registration makes it easier than ever to run an online to on-court or on-field contest.
