-         In the sports world, March means basketball! March Madness sweeps the NCAA college basketball world as people try to predict which teams will make it all the way.

It is time to hit the ice, hockey season is in full swing and Interactive Promotions Group as a number of great hockey promotions that are sure to excite the crowd at the next home game. Most of the hockey contests offered by Interactive Promotions Group are fan participation promotions which means that you select the participate(s) at random from the crowd and they perform one of the following promotions in order to win the grand prize. These are the most popular promotions that Interactive Promotions Group customers have done in the past!

-         Target Score Shot- This promotion is the simplest that Interactive Promotions Group offers. One person is selected at random from the crowd and all the contestant has to do is shoot the puck through a template and into the goal. This contest can be done from the closest blue line, center ice, far blue line, or the far goal line. This many options allow clients to best utilize their budget by choosing if they want to do multiple contestants from farther away or just one participant with a closer shot!

-         Rapid Fire – This contest is an excellent way to have the contestant on ice for a longer period of time. The participant has 25 seconds to shot the puck as fast as he or she can. In the 25 seconds they have to get 20 out of the 25 pucks they are given into the open net. This promotion is done from center ice.

-         Hat Trick – With a hat trick promotion the contestant gets to take three different shots, one from the near blue line, center ice, and far blue line. Out of the three shots the person selected has to make two out of the three through a designated template. This promotion like the Rapid Fire is a great way to utilize the whole break during periods.

One of the simplest questions often asked is one of the most important to understand. What is contest insurance and what can it do for you? Interactive Promotions Group is known for the golf, hole in one contests, the fun football contests and even the direct mail promotions they offer to get people into your business. But, what is it?

Contest insurance is also known as prize indemnity insurance. It is a type of insurance protection for you. Here’s the breakdown.

• You encourage participation in specialized contests designed by Interactive Promotions Groups.
• The contests offer a chance for your participants to earn big prizes.
• If they win the prize, Interactive Promotions Group pays for that prize. You do not have to pay for that prize at all.

Instead of paying out of your pocket for the prize you are offering to your contest participants, we cover those costs. You get to keep the benefits your event draws in, including profits from sales. Hole in one insurance, a golf related event, was one of the first types of insurance offered like this. Today, there are numerous options available to you to choose from.

Why work with Interactive Promotions Group for your contest insurance? In short, we cost less than everyone else (and we price match and beat it), we have an A credit rating and we ensure your participants have great prizes to earn. Take a look at how we can help you. You can even get a quote to learn how easily affordable this service is.

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s a great time to purchase your conditional rebate policy from Interactive Promotions Group. This type of policy can be purchased by car dealers, retail store owners and the like. What is the number one thing people are looking for when they go shopping during the holidays? A sale! Why not let Interactive Promotions Group help you entice your potential buyers with the possibility of free merchandise.

Here is how it would work: You run a sale starting the week or two before Christmas and run it up until the close of business on Christmas Eve. You advertise to your customers that all purchases made between the start date of the promotion and Christmas Eve will be completely reimbursed if it snows two inches or more on New Year’s Day.  Now keep in mind you can start this promotion as early as you would like.  Some of our customers start their sale on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and run it straight until they close their doors on Christmas Eve.  It is up to you when you start your sale but even if you only have a short amount of time Interactive Promotions Group can still help you pull something together last minute.

This is a great way to drive traffic into your location, build a stronger relationship with current customers, and gain new customers. By gaining new customers you allow your customer database to grow which in the long run will possibly increase even more business. Keep in mind these types of promotions can be run all year round so when the weather starts to heat up again think about running a 4th of July sale and if the temperature reaches record breaking numbers Interactive Promotions Group will be there to pick up the bill again!

Across the majority of the country spring is full in swing and it’s a great time to think about other types of contest insurance promotions.  Interactive Promotions Group offers a Conditional Rebate Contest Insurance which can be run based on two different scenarios.  The first would be a contest based on a specific weather condition such as “x” amount of Rain fall on Father’s Day.  The second way you can run this contest would be based on the outcome of a sporting event.  No matter which option you select you will be able to give your customers the chance to win big.

The first option works great for auto dealers and retail stores.  Say you’re looking to have a huge sale at your showroom or store.  The contest insurance would be based on the estimated total sales you except to have during your promotion period.  Now to throw a variable into this and make it a contest you can say if it rains 1 inch on Father’s Day than your total sales will be reimbursed to your customers.  Running a promotion like this during your slower shopping season is a great way to boost traffic into your place of business.  Likewise, you could run this type of contest say for a Fourth of July sale and reimburse your customers if the temperature reaches 100 degrees that day.

The second option is also a great promotional choice for both car dealerships and retail locations.  This is similar to the weather conditional rebate where your clients would be reimbursed Interactive Promotions Group for their purchases, however, with this scenario the reimbursement would be based on the outcome of a sporting event. Say you want to run a huge sale in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, if the team you picked to win can come through, your customers will be fully compensated for their purchases they made during your sale!
