Not Your Average Contest Insurance Promotion

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:10:00 +0000

Interactive Promotions Group has done it all! When people think about putting on a promotion to fundraise or gain attention to their event, most will think of a half court shot, a dice roll, or even a direct mail promotion. While these are the most common and popular contest insurance promotions we offer, there are many others ideas that people don’t always think of! Interactive Promotions Group has put together some ideas for your next promotion that will allow you to think outside of the box.

The first promotion, the Oreo Cookie Toss, is a big hit with the younger crowd. The Oreo Toss is perfect for a post- prom or graduation event where teenagers will have the chance to throw an Oreo cookie into a bowl of milk. If they can successfully dunk the cookie in to the milk, then you are a winner. Since Interactive Promotions does not have age restrictions on any of their promotions, this is a fun contest to run with little kids who are more than welcome to eat the cookie after their turn!

Are you looking for something aimed more for adults? The Olive Toss is perfect for any holiday or cocktail party. This adult friendly promotion allows you to give someone at the party a chance to win big if they can drain a cocktail olive into a martini glass. This promotion is perfect for any size party and can be done with one or multiple people!

The Bridal Bouquet Toss is another of Interactive Promotion Group’s “not so common” promotions. The Bridal Bouquet Toss is perfect for any bridal show and allows brides to practice for their big day! Interactive Promotions Group provides the bouquet of flowers and if one of the brides can throw it successful through the template, they leave a winner! Keep in mind that if there is a promotion you wish to create all we need to know are the details about the contest and we can get you a quote!

Weather Contest Insurance

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 16:35:00 +0000

Interactive Promotions Group has a promotion idea for every season. With the spring showers in the forecast, a weather promotion is a great way to boost sales and increase traffic in your retail store or car dealership. A weather promotion is a type of conditional rebate insurance which means that Interactive Promotions would insure your sales and depending on a certain situation; we would allow you to reimburse your customers for all of the products they purchased during a certain sales period.

The weather coverage is one of our most popular conditional rebate promotions for retail stores. The owner would pick a time period when they want to run the promotion, on average this is a 2 week to a month long period. For that period the owner would estimate the total number of sales and report that to Interactive Promotions Group. The owner would then pay a minimal cost in order to insure the total sales volume. Here is an example on how to run a weather promotion at your retail shop. If the owner of a furniture store wants to drive customers into the store then a great way to do so is to advertise that if it rains 4 inches on April 22th then all of the customers would get reimbursed for their purchases from the month of March. The owner would be responsible for keeping track of all purchases made in March and if on April 22nd there was a recording of 4 inches or more, Interactive Promotions Group would pay out the total amount of sales so all of the clients would be reimbursed.

A weather promotion tied to an annual sale is a great way for retail owners to gain a competitive advantage and gives the customers a reason to shop at your store over all the others! This promotion can be done with a retail store of any size and is also very effective for car dealers. To see similar promotions or find about more about Weather Promotions call us at 888-882-5140.

Trade Show Promotions Drive Traffic To Your Booth

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:19:00 +0000

Trade shows are a great way to reach out to potential customers and clients. It is an opportunity to highlight your services and explain your products. There are several effective methods which can be used to draw attention to your booth or display. The most basic approach is bold and readable signage. A legible, colorful and eye catching banner or sign will surely draw people in. Goodie bags and freebies are another great and dependable method. Also, a very effective and engaging method is to sponsor a promotion, such as a game, contest or a prize giveaway. People always love the excitement of a game and the chance to walk away a winner.

Trade show promotions, such as games and contests, produce several different and beneficial results. By notifying attendees prior to the event, through e-mails, phone calls and direct mail, you add enticement to your booth, ensuring visitors and traffic. People will be excited and curious about the game or contest. Use the promotion or contest as a way to market and advertise, consider linking the game or promotion to your product. In addition, exciting promotions, games and prizes at the booth will help draw in new leads. Following up with these new leads can turn them into clients and customers. This can be done by sending the new contacts information packets or any other relevant materials after the event.

The Interactive Promotions Group has a wide variety of games and contest to fit any promotional need. Traditional and fun games are available, such as the lucky number match or a scratch and win. Maybe something exciting is needed, like a dice roll, paper airplane toss or the lucky envelope game. If something a little different is wanted then the ‘crack the vault game’ combines intrigue and luck, while sports and conditional promotions keep customers on their toes as well as offering an incentive to use your services.

Contest Insurance - Icing on the Cake!

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 16:31:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:55:00 +0000

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.

Tiger Woods Apologizes Publicly

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:56:00 +0000

It’s been 85 days since we first heard speculations about Tiger Woods on Thanksgiving Day regarding his relationship with wife Elin. Since then Tiger’s career has spiraled downward with multiple cheating allegations. Tiger since has gone into hiding, first after the Thanksgiving Day crash that started all of the commotion when he did not want to speak to the public and kept the situation extremely private. After a couple weeks and more and more women speaking out about being involved with Woods he entered therapy, still not addressing the public about the numerous affairs.

Tiger has now chosen to publicly speak out for the first time and address the situation. On Friday February 19, 2010 he hosted a small conference, 30-35 close friends and colleagues as well as one video camera. Woods did not want many reporters in the room and made it clear that no questions were to be asked. He spoke for about 14 minutes and repeatedly stated how sorry he was for his actions as well as his regretful feelings towards the relationships he has harmed. The verdict is still out on how sincere the speech was (see below for link to the video), the speech was obviously scripted and had Tiger reading from a piece of paper. Woods in his private nature is never overly emotional in the public eye and some questions whether he really is sincerely apologetic for the situation.

At the end of the speech Tiger got up and hugged and kissed his mother who showed great support for the golfer. Elin, Wood’s wife, was not seen on the video and was not reported present. Woods made it quite clear that all of the questions and comments that the public has for him will be handled in a private matter between him and Elin and that they are still working on their relationship.

High School Coach Sinks Shot Blindfolded!

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:44:00 +0000

Olathe Northwest High school is all the talk on sports news this week when the school decided to pull a prank on the girl’s basketball coach. They offered Joel Branstrom a chance to win an all expense paid trip to the NCAA Final Four tournament if he could sink a half court shot blindfolded! The students gathered in the school gym for the event and were told beforehand to cheer as if Barnstrom made the shot, regardless of the outcome. Needless to say the students doubted the former University of Kansas’s star player’s ability to sink the shot. When blindfolded Joel Barnstrom stepped up the half court line he shocked everyone when the shot sailed through the air and swished into the net. The students cheered however it was out of genuine amazement that he made the basket, not the fake cheering they had planning in the prank.

The students were so sure that Barnstrom wouldn’t make the shot that they never secured the Final Four tickets however now with such national coverage; Joel has been bombarded with offers. Barnstrom’s video has made it to the top of ESPN’s sports center top 10 countdown, on CNN.com, and appeared on Good Morning America, where he was asked by host Robin Roberts to try the shot again. Joel took the half court shot and it bounced off the rim twice but did not fall into the hoop, a very close second attempt. Congrats to Joel on his accomplishment and trip to the Final Four! Basketball contest are one of the most popular sports promotion at Interactive Promotions Group, insure yours today!

Lucky Golfer Needs Prize Insurance for Future Events

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:32:00 +0000

If you were 29 year old Joe Bopp, you would be a thrilled golfer! In a recent visit to Sandpoint, he hit his third career hole in one at Stoneridge. This is no small feat, but he hit his ace in the 255 yard hole number 8. To do it, he stripped a 3 wood directly at the stick. The ball hopped right into the hole, hitting the hole in one nearly dead on.

Although this hole in one is definitely well worth the acclaim, it is, unbelievably, his third. He previously hit a hole in one at the old Hidden Lakes golf course when he was just 16 years old. He hit another while playing in La Quita, California. When comparing the three, this one was definitely the longest shot he hit, and the nature of the shot did make it more difficult.

Mr. Bopp was golfing with a group of friends when he hit the ace. He has a handicap of 3, and is considered one of the top golfers on the course. His friends required him to buy a round of drinks…as a way of celebrating this feat.

Consider the fact that many of today's top golfers never hit a hole in one in their careers and this man definitely seems to stand out from the rest. He is an avid golfer, which increases his chances of hitting. And, if you ask him, he is sure to tell you that he will get plenty of more hole in ones in the future, too. Don’t forget if you are looking for hole in one prize insurance to check Interactive Promotions Group out for all your coverage needs.

NFL Playoffs Are Almost Upon Us!

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:29:00 +0000

It’s almost that special time of the year where NFL teams turn it up a notch. Some team’s dreams of winning the Superbowl are crushed whilst others are kept alive. Fortunate fans get to see their teams advance to the most exciting stage of the NFL season which is better known as the playoffs. Interactive Promotions Group and many others have been waiting for the playoffs all year and they are almost upon us. What’s even more exciting is that nothing is guaranteed except that each team will play its heart out.

The Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints are sitting pretty right now. All of these teams have clinched first round byes in the playoffs. The Minnesota Vikings fans are not as happy as the Colts, Chargers and Saints fans. This is because the Minnesota Vikings could have been in the same position had they not recently lost to the Chicago Bears. However, all is not necessarily lost. Their first round bye now lays in the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. If the Eagles beat the Cowboys in the NFC East Championship game then Philadelphia will have the first round bye. So, all Minnesota Vikings fans, including Brett Favre, will be hoping for a Philadelphia loss to Dallas. However, there is no insurance of anything in professional sports so only time will tell.

There are more interesting scenarios that could play out. This involves teams that are outside of the playoffs and are looking in. If the season were to end right now the Baltimore Ravens would not make it into the playoffs. Nevertheless, the Ravens can sneak their way into the playoffs if they beat the Oakland Raiders in their next game. If the Ravens beat the Raiders then they would take the Denver Bronco’s place in the playoffs. Consequently, this upcoming week of football is going to be an epic one, so make sure that you don’t miss it! Furthermore, if you are thinking of having a football contest of any kind, you should consult us. We are Interactive Promotions Group and we offer a variety of prize insurance and contest insurance themes and variations which you would enjoy.

Golfer Hits 2 Holes In One…In One Day!

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:28:00 +0000

Getting one hole in one is an amazing accomplishment for any golfer. With the odds of 3,125 to 1 against you during an 18 hole round, a hole in one is something that a golfer will look forward to throughout their career and most golfers are satisfied seeing one in their lifetime. Most golfers out there reading this never had an ace in their golf career and can relate to the thrill of experiencing a hole in one. However could you imagine the excitement of getting two holes in one during one round of play?

This is exactly what happened in Gainesville, Virginia to Reeves Barbour. The unbelievable feat happened on October 25, 2009 on the Robert Trent Jones course in Gainesville. Barbour is from Jackson, Mississippi and the son of the Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour. Reeves reported that he hit the first hole in one was on hole number 9 from 174 yards and the second just a couple holes later on number 11 from 161 yards. Barbour being well known as the governor’s son will now also be remembered for his great achievement that day at Robert Trent Jones. Interactive Promotions Group, a leading provider of prize insurance has calculated the odds on such an act as 1 in 26,045,834. WOW!

$100,000 Lucky Money Bags Prize Winner!

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:43:00 +0000

Jon Mariano of Schaumburg, IL had quite a summer of 2009! While participating in a charity golf outing on June 22nd at The Ivanhoe Club in Ivanhoe, IL, Mariano was one of ten lucky contestants chosen to participate in the Lucky Money Bags Promotion to be held at dinner following the golf event. As luck would have it, Mariano managed to successfully choose the 3 correct money bags that ensured his big winnings of $100,000.

Mariano finished his round of golf and was picked at random to participate in the money bag promotion covered by Interactive Promotions Group. Ten contestants in all were selected for the contest and each was instructed to select three money bags for the chance to win the grand prize. The contestants had 30 numbered money bags to choose from and only three of the bags contained the winning message. The challenge lied in the fact that in order to win the grand prize of $100,000 the contestants had to find all three of the winning messages with only three guesses.

Needless to say, Mariano managed to guess correctly which led to quite a celebration. When asked how he did it, Mariano explained that he chose numbers that were meaningful to him and just went for it! He selected bags that corresponded to the birth days of both his wife and mom. He choose bag numbers 6, 28, and 29 and found out quickly that he selected the magic combination when each envelope revealed the winning message inside!

Interactive Promotions Group wants to congratulate Mariano and all of our recent winners! For more information on running this or other types of prize insurance promotions you can visit our website at www.interactivepromotions.com or call on of our consultants at 888-882-5410.

Dallas Cowboys and Football Promotions

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:25:00 +0000

The Dallas News recently caught up with Jerry Jones to get his take on Tony Romo’s recent performance. His answer was that Tony Romo is the right guy now, and for the long-term as the team's quarterback.

According to the article, Jones then said he hasn't talked to Romo this week because he's been in New York for some meetings but he thinks the three-interception performance last week against the Giants was more aberration than norm. "I think it’s particularly true about a quarterback and it's true about all of us," Jones said. "How you respond when it's not going good for you is the difference maker. I think it's the difference maker away from the football field. In football very few days are really good days. It's just the nature of the sport. Most of the time you're not happy with how you're doing and you don't feel good. That's just the nature of the game. So when good things happen we should hang on, and appreciate it, because that will give you the will to go through the bad times. He's had some great days. We know some day he'll have the greatest day of all."

After Jones said this, a reporter immediately seized the opportunity to ask if he felt that Romo will eventually win a Superbowl.

His answer was as follows=, “I do. To the extent I feel like that will happen. It is in no small part due to his skill level because of his ability to come back from adversity [and] because of his hard work. That will be one of the big reasons we get it done."

Nevertheless, there are a lot of skeptics out there. Tony Romo is a very talented football player, and only time will tell if he will fulfill Jones’s prophecy.

Lastly, now that it is football season, there are a lot of football contests going on. If you are thinking about conducting one and you need affordable contest insurance or prize insurance, look no further. Interactive Promotions Groups is the answer to your problem.

Philadelphia Phillies and Contest Insurance

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:54:00 +0000

The Phillies are on a definite roll. The Los Angeles times summed it up perfectly when they reported that “Brad Lidge retired Troy Tulowitzki for the final out for the second straight night, sending Philadelphia to the NL championship series with a 5-4 win over the Colorado Rockies.”

The LA Times online article goes on to report that “Lidge's second save Monday — the other came just past midnight in Game 3 — was sweet redemption for the Phillies closer who went from perfect a year ago to perfectly awful in 2009".

He converted all 48 save chances last year, capped when he struck out Tampa Bay's Eric Hinske in Game 5 to clinch the Phillies' World Series title. But he lost his perfect touch this season — he led the majors with 11 blown saves, went 0-8 with a 7.21 ERA and briefly lost his job in September. Now, he's perfect in the postseason once again.

According to the article, Ryan Howard backed Lidge up by saying, “"I've said it before, people go through ups and downs. As long as he's throwing well for us right now, that's all that matters." The article then reported that the Phillies celebrated on the infield at chilly Coors Field before retreating to the clubhouse for another champagne shower.

"We know we have a long ways to go," Jimmy Rollins said. "So this is the last party.
The Phillies are playing the Dodgers right now as this article is being written. They are up 5 to 4 in the bottom of the 6th inning. It will be interesting to see how the game pans out.

On the flipside, anybody looking to have a baseball contest like a target toss or home run swing should look no further. We are Interactive Promotions Group and we provide the best contest insurance in the industry. We look forward to meeting and working with you!

Philadelphia Phillies win NL East Contest

noreply@blogger.com (US Hole In One) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:30:00 +0000

The Philadelphia Phillie tasted glory when they won they won the NL East Division title. ESPN reports that players doused each other with champagne and beer in the clubhouse and on the field, whilst Fans partied in the stands and Manager Charlie Manuel enjoyed the celebration from his office. This was a great moment for the City of Philadelphia. "I'll celebrate when we get to the big one," Manuel said in the article. A repeat in the World Series would definitely be phenomenal.

The same article goes on to explain that the Phillies beat the Houston Astros 10-3 to clinch their third straight division crown. We also learn that Ibanez hit his career-high 34th homer and Jimmy Rollins had a double and triple for Philadelphia, which is heading to the postseason for the third straight year for the first time since Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton and crew won three consecutive NL East titles from 1976-78. The article also points out that the Phillies are trying to become the first repeat champions since the New York Yankees won three straight World Series from 1998-2000. The Cincinnati Reds were the last NL team to win two in a row in 1975-76. In the article Chase Utley asked the fans if they were having fun. He then reassured them that “there’s gonna be a lot more coming.

The article then concludes with some interesting game notes at the bottom:
“The Phillies are 31-11 at home since July 1. They were 13-22 the first two months. ... Houston's Miguel Tejada extended his hitting streak to 17 games. ... Ibanez hit 33 homers for the Seattle Mariners in 2006.”
