Radio Promotions: Off-site, On-Air… Big Prizes, Big Results!

Wondering exactly how a big prize radio promotions can benefit your business?

This spring and summer, Chris Gardiner, Northeast & Midwest Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, been working with a broadcasting company based in the Midwest that is running two radio station promotions, both of which are utilizing prize indemnity insurance.

In support of the radio station’s Spring promotion and a Country concert, Odds On’s custom Video Scratch and Win game, “Mega Money Machine”, was taken to nineteen different sponsor locations during various live appearances.

Listeners at each location each got the chance to choose 6 spots on the game’s touch screen. If all six happen to reveal “stacks of cash” symbols, then the contestant would be awarded the insured grand prize of $98,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions! Smaller prizes could also be won by listeners who manage to reveal fewer winning symbols:

concert meet and greet passes
stadium blankets
t-shirts
drawstring sports packs
2 GB memory sticks
grocery totes
bottle koozies
“preferred seating” at the concert

Prizes galore; everyone leaves a winner!

On-Air Radio Promotions Too…

In addition to the live appearance Video Scratch and Win promotion, the radio station is also insuring an on-air Playlist Payoff promotion, where select callers will have the opportunity to choose from three of thirty songs on a list, each of which are correlated with a number. If the caller correctly selects the “top 3” songs, preselected by Odds On Promotions, they’ll instantly win — you guessed it — $98,000, compliments of Odds On’s prize coverage!

Two separate promotions, nineteen sponsor locations, multiple chances to win, one big Spring and Summer … worth over $196,000 in cash and prizes! Talk about ear-candy!

Looking For a Custom Hot Seat Promotion For Your Casino?

If you’re a casino property, then chances are you’re always on the look-out for hot seat promotions that drive results, are unique to your property and are affordable enough to run on a regular basis. Which is why I think you’re going to really like this: a custom handheld Video & Scratch and Win hot seat promotion!

Here’s the scoop. During the month of July at this casino property, players were selected to play a custom Fourth of July-themed Video Scratch & Win tablet game. Each randomly selected player selected six spots on the handheld tablet’s touchscreen – if one lucky player happened to reveal 6/6 winning grand prize symbols (which in this case, happen to be ‘fireworks’ symbols coupled with the property’s logo) then they would win cash and free play… compliments of the casino! Smaller cash prizes and free play were awarded for those who manage to select fewer winning symbols.

According to Becky Bowman, Western Business Development Manager with Odds On Promotions, “I personally love using the handheld tablet as a hot seat promotion. Here’s why: they are extremely easy use, they’re cost-efficient, you’re bringing the promotion to the player at their gaming position, they are fun to play… and, best of all, they are completely customizable! If Odds On doesn’t have a stock game you’re interested in, we can create a completely custom game for your property – including a customized ‘faceplate’ to showcase your game.”

Trade Show Promotion: Lucky Envelopes Contest – RENEWED!

trade show promotion - fisker karma prize

The grand prize at stake: a brand new Fisker Karma, valued at $116,000!

Are you looking for a trade show promotion that’s sure to attract attendees to your booth? Just take notes from this home furnishings supplier out of Florida, who managed to do just that this past October… at the largest home furnishings trade show in the WORLD, nonetheless — High Point Market!

This year, they’ve come back to Odds On Promotions to insure the same trade show promotion again since it ended up being such a success for them! If that’s not a testament to what our prize insurance is capable of, then we’re not sure what is!

The trade show promotion in question was — and will be again this year — a Pick ‘Til You Win-style Lucky Envelopes promotion, which will take place every day during the three-day trade show event. Here’s how it will work: two randomly selected attendees who stop by the supplier’s booth will have the opportunity to open one envelope at a time, unveiling one of three different prizes. The first prize selected five times is the one they walk away with. If the five inserts the attendee collects all end up displaying matching grand prize symbols, they’ll win a brand new Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid (shown above), valued at $116,000… and Odds On Promotions will cut a check for the prize amount! With a prize that beautiful and luxurious at stake, it’s no wonder they’re insuring it two years in a row!

Furniture Promotions Can Also Be Basketball Promotions!

Are you a furniture store looking for fun and exciting sales promotion? What if I told you that you could hold your next upcoming promotion in your own parking lot? That’s right — just take notes from this California-based furniture store who reached out to me, looking to insure a basketball half-court shot contest on their own turf!

Each day during the furniture store’s two-day sales promotion, a lucky customer was selected to take a half-court shot in the store’s parking lot for a chance to win a brand new outdoor kitchen valued at $10,000, paid for by Odds On! What’s more? If both customers ended up making the shot, they both would have been awarded $10,000, making it a $20,000 promotion! Insuring for multiple winners is always a great idea — not only will it end up costing you less in the end, you’ll never have to end a promotion early, should more than one contestant end up winning — and trust us, despite what the odds of that may seem like, a half-court shot happens.

Of course, if basketball promotions can also be furniture promotions, what else could be insured at your store location? Whether you’re wanting to insure a different kind of sports promotion (an indoor or outdoor bowling contest or golf putting contest, for example) or even a skills-based promotion such as a paper airplane toss, we can insure it!

On-Pack Promotions: Pentel Gives Consumers Chance to Win $500K

Big news here at Odds On Promotions! Pentel reached out to me, inquiring about on-pack promotions. Thankfully, I was able to help them insure the perfect on-pack promotion that would not only increase awareness of their EnerGel-X line of pens, but also increase sales at participating retail stores during the back-to-school season… all the while, giving one lucky individual the chance to win money for both themselves and their school!

Here’s how the promotion works: Approximately 700,000 specially-marked packages of Pentel’s EnerGel-X pens will be distributed to stores nationwide, each of which contain a unique prize code which is revealed once the package of EnerGel-X pens are opened. The consumer will then go to Pentel’s website to enter in the code in hopes of “unleashing the power of Pentel” during their super hero-themed promotion, which helps capitalize upon all of the super hero movies of the season.

The ‘power’ in question just so happens to be a $500,000 insured grand prize – $250,000 for you, $250,000 for your school! Compliments of Pentel for purchasing their EnerGel-X pens… and paid for by Odds On Promotions, of course!

And it’s not ‘Game Over’ if no one happens to have the winning prize code! That’s because Pentel will be giving away a secondary prize during the promotion: Power of Pentel Backpacks! Additionally, they’ll be hosting giveaways at their social properties throughout the duration of the contest for more opportunities to win prizes.

We’re all very excited to find out if Pentel will end up having a $500,000 winner by the time the promotion ends this Fall. It’s been such a pleasure working with Pentel; I’ve been extremely impressed with the presentation of their on-pack promotion and I’m beyond thankful to have them as a client. Be sure to watch their commercial at the bottom of this blog post!
