Number Match Promotion Valued at $50K Insured at Boat Show

Participating in a large event, such as a trade show?  Why not incentivize attendees to visit your booth by insuring a grand prize number match promotion with Odds On Promotions, like this Florida boat dealer did at their local boat show!

number match promotionHere’s exactly how it worked: the client’s local newspaper printed 10,000 inserts for distribution in the Sunday paper prior to the boat show.  Each insert contained a unique 6-digit number.  Readers who attended the boat show would present their newspaper insert and use Odds On’s handheld verification unit to enter in their 6-digit number.  If the number they entered ended up matching Odds On’s preselected 6-digit number, then that lucky attendee would have scored $50,000… compliments of Odds On Promotions!

While unfortunately, no one managed to guess the lucky number, traffic was still increased to the boat show and the promotion generated much excitement among attendees!

Lucky Envelopes Promotion Insured at Ice Fishing Derby

lucky envelopesJust because its the middle of winter doesn’t mean you can’t run an amazing fishing event!  Check out how a  Wisconsin insurance agency recently assisted a local fishing derby by giving  participants a shot at winning the big bucks in an ice fishing derby Lucky Envelopes promotion, insured by Odds On Promotions.

Here’s how the Lucky Envelopes promotion worked: 4 lucky contestants of the ice fishing derby, chosen at random, were selected to participate in the Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelopes promotion, in which each of the 4 individuals chose 5 lucky envelopes.

5 Lucky Envelopes Could Have Meant a $10,000 Payout…

The 4 contestants each started with 35 envelopes, opening one envelope at a time, unveiling one of three different prize symbols, representing three different prizes. The first prize symbol drawn five times would be the prize the lucky contestant would walk away with.  If a lucky angler managed to select the five Lucky Envelopes which contained the matching grand prize symbols, then they’d win an instant $10,000… paid for by Odds On Promotions!   Did we mention that each of the 4 participants of the promotion each had a chance to win the insured prize?  Yep, there was a total of $40K on the line!

Although unfortunately, no one managed to score the $10,000 grand prize, it was still a winning day for participants because  the event featured over $16,000 in guaranteed prizes, including cash and ATVs!  (Talk about a great example of “doing it right” when it comes to a grand prize promotion — after all, no one likes leaving empty-handed!)

Interested in insuring a Lucky Envelopes promotion of your own?  Whether you’re holding a fishing tournament, a different sports event, a trade show or need to drive traffic to your store… Lucky Envelopes are the perfect promotion to insure any place, any time!  Just give Odds On Promotions a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote… or email us for more information!  We look forward to hearing from you!

Casino Promotion Worth $100K Insured at Mid-Atlantic Gaming Property

casino promotion - blizzard of cash zoom ballWhether your casino property is looking to attract more players and coin-in during the off-season or a notoriously low-traffic time frame, or if you’re just looking for something to generate excitement among your loyal players, Odds On has the perfect casino promotion for you!

This story comes to us from a casino property in the Mid-Atlantic, who used Odds On’s Zoom Ball promotion to help keep players on their property longer.

For two months this winter, the casino insured Odds On’s winter-themed “Blizzard of Cash” Zoom Ball casino promotion to increase play.   Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday during selected promotional periods, the casino randomly selected players, giving them the chance to participate in the promotion. The promotion official would then activate the ball blower and each player would press the big red button on the machine, sending 6 balls flying into the machine’s “Zoom Zone.”  If a contestant happened to get 6 blue-colored balls in the “Zone” they would have been an instant $100,000 winner, compliments of Odds On!

Casino Promotion Love Story: Valentine’s Day Zoom Ball!

casino promotionLove is in the air at this Southwest casino property!  That’s likely due to the fact that they’re giving players the chance to win the big bucks with a casino promotion from Odds On: Valentine’s Day Zoom Ball!

Here’s how this red hot casino promotion will work: during the month of February, qualifying players will have the opportunity to stop by the Zoom Ball machine and land 6 red balls in the machine’s “zoom zone.”  If one of them happens to do so, they’ll win an instant $1,000,000, paid for by Odds On!  Bonus: Anyone who gets 5 red balls in the zone, will walk away with $10,000, courtesy of Odds On!

Odds On’s Zoom Ball promotion comes complete with a customizable backlit sign, stock or customizable 3-sided cabinet wrap, and plugs into any standard outlet!  You can even choose what colored balls you’d like to use, as well as what color you’d like the LED light surrounding the sign to be!

In addition to providing prize coverage  for those who get  5 or 6 colored balls in the Zoom Zone, Odds On can assist with budgeting for smaller self-insured auxiliary prizes for those who get a smaller number of colored balls in the Zoom Zone. After all, no one likes leaving empty-handed … which is why Odds On recommends awarding $x in free play, or merchandise from one of your property’s gift shops or restaurants for those who get 2, 3 or 4 colored balls in the Zone.  Not only will your players be greatly appreciative, it will incentivize them to come back for your next big promotion!

Direct Mail Promotion Worth $25K Insured at Harley-Davidson Dealership

Hey, auto dealers!  Looking for a great direct mail promotion that’s bound to drive foot traffic through your doors?  Want to increase sales while gaining valuable marketing information?  If the answer is ‘yes’, then you’ll want to pour yourself a cup of coffee and take the time to read about the Video Scratch & Win contest that this Harley-Davidson dealership in Connecticut insured to promote the new 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide!

Direct Mail Promotion Using Video Scratch and Win Game

Direct Mail PromotionDuring a week-long period, customers who presented a direct mail postcard at the dealership got the chance to play Odds On’s Harley-themed Video Scratch & Win promotion, “Born to Ride.”

Each customer selected 6 spots on the game’s touchscreen.  For every ‘Harley motorcycle’ symbol that appeared, they would win a prize!  1/6 Harley symbols landed them $5 off any purchase of $25 or more at their dealership; 2/6 symbols would award them a free helmet; 3/6 symbols, a pair of Hustin boots; 4/6, a classic leather jacket; 5/6, a Kendon single-rail trailer…

And now here’s the best part: If a customer managed to select all 6 spots which revealed a Harley motorcycle symbol, they’d win the insured prize, a  2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide, valued at $25,000, and paid for by Odds On!

While unfortunately, there was no grand prize winner, many prizes were given away and fun was had by all — and in the process, the Harley dealership gained additional foot traffic and sales during the promotion… all for purchasing contest insurance from Odds On Promotions!
