$100,000 Crappie World Record Weight Promotion in Mississippi

 

Having a bad day?  Here’s a great tale about a giant-prize promotion run by a fishing club down in Mississippi that’s sure to make you feel “reel” good!

Earlier this month this southern fishing club held their annual fishing tournament featuring live music, arts and crafts vendors, food vendors, and perhaps most the most exciting event of all… a promotion tied to catching a world record weight crappie!

Here’s how it worked: If any participants managed to catch a crappie that weighed more than the previously recorded record weight (5.3 pounds) on the day of the promotion, they’d leave $100,000 richer, compliments of Odds On Promotions!

“Advertising a large prize fishing promotion is a great way to not only boost attendance at fishing tournaments but also help fundraise and/or help make up for the cost of your promotion as well”, stated Damien Anderson, Business Development Manager with Odds On.  “While some clubs opt to cover the promotion’s cost, another option is to identify a potential contest sponsor and create a contest that will showcase their business, allowing the hosting organization to offer a giant prize fishing promotion without adding to the bottom line.”

Conditional Rebate Promotion: No-hitter at Baseball Game

What happens when an insurance agency and jewelry store team up?  They hold one heck of a ‘no-hitter’ conditional rebate promotion at a baseball game!

Talk about a gem of a baseball promotion … a jewelry store in Iowa gave their customers the chance to get a 100% rebate on all purchases made during a special sales event if the home team racked up a no-hitter  (after 9 complete innings, there was no officially scored hit for the opposing team) during the 2012 season opener.

Interested in insuring a no-hitter conditional rebate promotion of your own and giving your customers a chance to win their merchandise free of charge?  Contact Odds On Promotions today at 888-827-2249 or email us for a free, no-obligation quote and other baseball contest ideas!

Great Summer Fundraising Promotion Idea: Duck Race

Wait until you read about this great fundraising promotion idea! Looking for a great way to bring your community together and increase fundraising dollars this summer?  Want to spread your organization’s message to a broader audience?  If so, Odds On Promotions has a great suggestion for you: holding a fundraising duck race promotion!

Wondering how it works?  It’s actually quite simple — first and foremost, put together a committee and determine who will be in charge of sponsorships, adoptions, advertising, fundraising and whatever other positions/duties are applicable to your organization.  Be sure to put together a website where players can pay for their duck adoptions online as well!

When you begin advertising, make sure to list a contact phone number and/or email (both are preferable) in case anyone in the community has any questions.  Make sure the date and time of the event are visible on any printed advertisements, as well as on your website.  Be sure to inform businesses such as your local chamber of commerce about your duck race event, as they could make for great potential sponsors!  Sponsorships can help you cover your costs … namely, the prize(s) you’re supplying.

The day prior to your promotion, do a “test run” of the duck race on the river to ensure that the design of your course works out and that the finish line is well-constructed.  Also be sure to make sure each duck sold is labeled at the bottom with numbers corresponding to all tickets being sold.

To make your duck race more appealing, you might also want to look into insuring a grand prize through Odds On Promotions that will give one “lucky duck” in your community a chance to win a grand prize if their preselected duck crosses the finish line first.  You can also have the duck owner split the prize 50/50 with your organization/charity!

On the day of your fundraising promotion, a plethora of members from your community should be present if you’ve advertised properly.  Be sure you have volunteer members to help release the ducks and award your race winners generously, providing complimentary prizes for runner-ups.

Have any other questions about holding a duck race fundraiser?  Interested in insuring one?  Give Odds On a call at 888-827-2249 or email us!  We’ll help make sure it turns out ‘quacktastic!’
