Hold a Million Dollar Midnight Toast This Upcoming New Year!

Make your midnight toast the most rewarding one in town with Odds On Promotions‘ Midnight Millionaire Lucky Envelopes game.

You’ll set up a display of 100 champagne-filled flutes, assigning each a lucky number, one of which has been preselected by Odds On.

Next, you’ll select a contestant and invite them to pick a flute. If they choose the lucky preselected flute, they’ll head into 2012 a whole lot richer, courtesy of Odds On!

Looking for more variations of this promotion?  Mix it up by using your own merchandise in combination with the flute of champagne as an insured element!  This type of promotion can be run by virtually any kind of company… even in conjunction with a non-profit!

For example, jewelry stores may attach a small sack to the flute and include a different diamond in each sack!  If you don’t insure your promotion, chances are you would only be able to give away one diamond and stuff the rest of the bags with Cubic Zirconia; however, when you purchase prize insurance through Odds On, we pick up the risk, meaning you’re free to up the ante and give away more diamonds of differing clarity and carat weight rather than just one!

For added fun, have your customers come back to an ‘appraisal booth’ afterwards to see if they were the recipient of an actual diamond, and if so, how much theirs is worth!  Not quite sure how this promotion can be used in conjunction with non-profits?  How about setting up an auction after all is said and done to help fundraise for your cause!

Casinos: Use this same idea, only using casino chips rather than diamonds!  At the end of the promotion, have your players bring their chip(s) to the cashier’s booth to see who has scored some major free play, compliments of your property!

The possibilities are endless, which is why it’s important to contact us learn the variety of ways your business can utilize this New Years promotion.  Give us a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us if you’d like a quote, more ideas or if you have any questions at all!

Dressing Up Your Promotion: 3 Great Tips

Adding prize insurance to your company’s promotions is a great way to increase foot traffic and generate excitement among your consumers… but that’s just one secret to a successful promotion.  

Here at Odds On Promotions, we insure about 18,000 events a year … so trust us when we tell you, we’ve seen it all… from the small non-profit organization that knows how to make a new car drive thousands of dollars in donations, to the successful casino property that knows how to rock a game show.

Part of running a successful promotion includes taking the time to craft effective advertising and create an impactful presentation!

Here are three tips that will help make your next promotion an even bigger success…

1.)  Advertising
A giant prize is more effective when you advertise it!  Running an insured prize promotion?  That’s great!  How do you plan on advertising it?  Whether it’s traditional print advertising, an online banner or website ad, a TV/radio commercial or a direct mail piece,  you have to get the word out!  It may sound basic, but be sure to make your insured grand prize the focal point of the ad — use large and colorful eye-catching print — or if you’re a radio station, make the prize the focal point by emphasizing it in your speech.  And while you’re at it, don’t forget to include important information such as: the date of the promotion (and time, if applicable), location, and any qualifying processes being used… oh, and did we mention — don’t forget the description and value of the prize!

2.)  Visibility
Prize insurance is designed to drive traffic and make your promotion even more eye-catching … so the last thing you want is customers or contestants trying to figure out where they go to register, participate, or try and figure out where you’re holding the main event!  Make sure your promotion is clearly visible to the public eye.  Your insured promotion is something to take pride in; don’t merely shove it in the corner!

3.)  Presentation
Pay keen attention, because we’ve saved the best for last.  So you’ve adequately advertised your promotion and you’ve made sure to place emphasis on the visibility/location.  Good job!  Now it’s time to theme and decorate your promotion zone! (You weren’t seriously planning on just placing the game board in the middle of your casino floor and walking away, were you? ) Here’s what we we mean by “decorating your promotion zone”.  Let’s say you’re holding a St. Patrick’s Day-themed promotion.  Start by making a custom banner!  Don’t have the time or resources?  Then let us make a custom presentation banner for you!  Next, create a “scene” … Pick up holiday-related trinkets at places like The Dollar Store and adorn the scene of your promotion with life-sized shamrocks and “pots of gold”. Invite your staff to dress up like Leprechauns  – or hire a few “pros” have them interact with those who are qualifying for your promotion!  Work for a bar or pub?  Have the lasses and laddies at your location hand out a pint of Guinness to each lucky qualifier of your promotion!  The possibilities are endless… so get creative!  What kind of environment would get you to keep coming back for future promotions?

Pick ‘Til You Win With a Progressive Envelope Pick!

Odds On Promotions is excited to be insuring a Pick ‘Til You Win envelope promotion with a twist at this Edmonton, Canada casino property this year!

Tired of running ho-hum instead of Ho-Ho-Ho holiday promotions?  This casino was too until they found out that Odds On Promotions was able to add a “progressive” element to their holiday giveaway game – ensuring that customer excitement grows from week to week right up until the holiday weekend.

Here’s how it works:

The promotion itself will run for 6 weeks.  For the first week, the casino will self-insure the grand prize.  Weeks 2-6, Odds On will insure the value of the prize… which will increase by leaps and bounds each week, making that grand prize look sweeter and sweeter!

Six players (one each week) will have a chance to choose 5 out of 40 envelopes.  If all 5 envelopes that they choose contain matching dollar amounts inside, then they’re an instant winner of up to $100,000 … compliments of Odds On!

Tip: Be strategic about planning your promotion dates and make sure to increase the prize value as the holiday season grows nearer and nearer — doing so will help to increase traffic at your location during that time!

Ready to up the ante with your future casino promotions by using a progressive envelope pick?  Don’t hesitate to email us for pricing and further information or give us a call at 888-827-2249!
