Contest Insurance - Icing on the Cake!

It’s always rewarding to get a hole in one. Some people even get two aces in one round. Some playing groups have had two members step up on the tee and make consecutive holes in one. However this past week at the Frys.com Open on the PGA Tour Nicholas Thompson did something very special.

You’re probably wondering what could be more fascinating than all other past hole in one stories that might also involve hole in one insurance. Well this is how the story went.

Nicholas Thompson was playing the par 5 fifth hole at the Frys.com open which is 575 yards. He boomed his driver right down the middle of the fairway, leaving him a chance to go at the green in two. His second shot didn’t just find the green; it found the bottom of the hole for a magnificent double eagle! If you think that’s great we at Interactive Promotions Group are going to step in and tell you that it doesn’t even end there! Nicholas then made his way to the 13th hole which is a 199 yard par 3. He coolly stepped up and followed his double eagle with a hole in one. He used a 7 iron. This was a truly remarkable feat sealed by an unforgettable hole-in-one.

"It was my second double-eagle and the eighth hole-in-one in my life." Thompson said. He also said that he underclubbed in order to land the ball short of the pin before it went in for the ace. Making holes-in-one is a lot of fun but it’s even more fun when there is some sort of hole-in-one insurance backing it up. Interactive Promotions Group provides this type of contest insurance. This means that if you make a hole-in-one you could win a prize as a reward. All you have to do is tell the tournament director at your golf club to call us at 888 882 5440 or to visit our website which is: www.interactivepromotions.com. Who knows; you could be closer to your next hole-in-one.

Learn How to Run a Team Achievement Promotion

Interactive Promotions offers not only a wide variety of fan achievement challenges such as half court shots, field goal kicks, and 7-10 splits but they also specialize in team achievement promotions in which a professional player or team has to accomplish a certain goal in order for a lucky fan to win a grand prize. Team achievement promotions are offered for a number of different sports such as baseball, hockey, basketball and football. Two of most popular contests are the NCAA Bracket promotion for college basketball and the Kick off Return for professional football.

With March Madness only in the first round of play, it has already brought some major upsets. Interactive Promotion’s NCAA Bracket allows you to challenge your customers to see how well they know college basketball and see if they can predict the champion out of the 64 college teams. This promotion gives all of your clients a chance to win as Interactive Promotions will hold onto the brackets and evaluate them based on the results of the games. If someone from your group has a winning bracket, then they could walk away with prizes up to $1,000,000.

Another extremely popular promotion, where a fan has a chance to go home a winner just for watching the game, is the Kick Off Return for a professional football team. As our client, you would select the game and pick a random contestant prior to kick off. If the home team can return the kick off for a touchdown then that contestant could win a new car! This promotion can be done in the stadium as part of the home teams fan appreciation day or even during viewing party at a restaurant or bar.

To see a complete list of the team achievement promotions offered by Interactive Promotions check out the sports tab on the main page or call one of our consultants at 888-882-5140.

Spring Contest Insurance Ideas from Interactive Promotions

Spring is just around the corner, even if there is still snow on the ground! The warm weather brings baseball season as well as many opportunities to take advantage of some of the outdoor promotions that Interactive Promotions Group has to offer.

Baseball is not only one of the longest running sports in season but also one of the most exciting. Whether you want to run a contest at your little league tournament or at a major league game, IPG has a promotion for it all. The most popular of the baseball contest insurance promotions is the “3 Strikes, You Win” promotion. During this event you select one lucky fan from the stands and set them up at the pitching mound. If they can successfully throw three strikes in the strike zone, they are a winner. Many of our baseball contests also include team achievement promotions, where the home team has to accomplish a certain goal in order for one lucky fan to win! The team achievement promotions are a great way to get the fans to come out and be involved in the game.

With the snow melting away more and more activities are moving outdoors. Interactive Promotions Group has a wide variety of contests that are perfect for your next outdoor event. Certain promotions like Lucky Duck Race are a great way to raise money as well as increase attendance at your event. Other contests can be run almost anywhere as long as you have some space such as the Frisbee Toss and the Soccer Goal Kick.
