Scoreboard Payoff

Distribute the cards based on visits, points earned, handpaid jackpots, etc. and instruct players to stick around for the “big reveal.” If the numbers on the player’s scratch card match those on a customized video playback, they’ll score some serious March moolah, and Odds On Promotions will be there to pay for the prize!

How To Promote a Fishing Tournament

Interested in running a fishing tournament, but not quite sure how to go about promoting one?  Don’t fret — you’re not alone!  Thankfully, Odds On is here today to shed some light on the topic and help make your next tournament a huge success!

While it may seem like a no-brainer, you’d be surprised as to how many tournament planners neglect to take part in the very first step: plan ahead.

As soon as your club/organization sets a firm date for the tournament, that’s when you’ll want to begin divvying up tasks to your fellow members.  Who will be in charge of advertising?  Selling sponsorships?  Coordinating with the prize insurance company (should prize insurance for a fishing contest at your event be desired) to assist with fundraising?  It’s crucial that everyone know and understand their role.

Promoting and advertising can take on many different forms — from print advertising (mailers, an article in the newspaper, press releases or flyers) to radio commercials and even websites, the choice is yours.  Effectiveness will mainly depend on the demographic you’re wanting to attract to your tournament: do you know your target audience?

Tip: As soon as you’ve nailed down a date for your tournament, send out a mailer notifying individuals of the event.  Just because you don’t have the exact details yet doesn’t mean that you can’t inform them of the date, location of the fishing tournament, as well as a contact number for someone who can answer any questions.

Be sure that you time your publicity to achieve maximum results.  Keep in mind that there are no ‘exact’ deadlines — each medium will inevitably have different needs.  Contact the ones you’re most interested in, whether it be your local newspaper or radio station(s), and inquire as to what their specific deadlines are.  Then, after taking note of the lead time required, work accordingly.

Last, but definitely not least, be prepared for possible inclement weather on the date of your event.  Don’t let mother nature ruin all of the efforts you and your staff have put into making your fishing tournament a success.  Consider purchasing weather insurance, which will ensure that if inclement weather does occur, your organization will not lose your investment.  Instead, an insurance company will cover those costs based on the size and type of the weather cancellation insurance purchased!

Need more pointers?  Looking to make your fishing tournament one to remember by purchasing prize insurance?  Give us a call at 888-827-2249 or email us!  We’d be happy to help!

Drive Incremental Gaming Revenue with a 2012 Year of the Dragon Party!

Looking for a new way to drive midweek play in January?  Throw a Chinese New Year’s Party for invited guests and qualifying players on Monday, January 23rd!

Step 1. Distribute invitations starting January 2 based on points earned for midweek play, hand paid jackpots and/or theoretical win.

Step 2. On the evening of Monday, Jan. 23, have everyone return for your “Year of the Dragon” Chinese New Year’s Celebration featuring lion dancers, an incredible Chinese buffet and the chance to win up to $2,012, $20,120 or $201,200 playing Odds On’s Lucky Dragon ‘Pick Til You Win game.

Step 3. Give everyone who attends a thank-you gift – a keepsake “engraved” fortune cookie, a giant edible fortune cookie, or a customized red envelope filled with a gift of free slot play based on player value.

 

Don’t want to spend a lot of dough but like this idea?  Instead of a big party, run this promotion as a hot seat drawing. Just purchase, number & hang paper Chinese Lanterns or use “red envelopes” to hold your Lucky Envelopes instead of buying a game board!  As an added treat for your players (and to ensure they stick around all evening) have your player’s club staff wander the casino floor with pu-pu platters featuring dumplings, spring rolls and other delicious delights– or hand out “custom” fortune cookies – with free slot play inside.

Want to learn more? Looking for additional contests, games and promotions that will help you welcome The Year of the Dragon? Email or give us a call today at 888-827-2249.

P.S.  Not a casino, but love the concept as a way to reward and recognize your audience? We’d be happy to help customize a Chinese New Year’s promotion to meet your marketing objectives.
