GRAND PRIZE PROMOTIONS BLOG

When the people in your community sign up for your 5K promoted by Grand Prize Promotions, they will reap more benefits than they’ll know what to do with.

Organizing an event at your bar can be exciting and stressful at the same time. Between juggling the event planning and promotion, you might be wondering how you'll entice people to show up and join in on the festivities. Offering a big grand prize competition is a great way to bring in crowds, and here’s how you can make sure you're covered and safe in the event of a winner.

This summer, we brought on an intern that came to us from the Boys & Girls Club of America, Jelani Spain. We were immediately blown away by his passion for sports as well as his drive to make things happen for himself. His background includes working for the Atlanta Hawks as well as the Atlanta Falcons, so you immediately know Jelani knows how to open doors. A few weeks ago, he traveled to Texas A&M (where he is now attending college) to audition for Team Manager for the Texas A&M basketball team. Jelani was kind enough to document his journey for us. Read his story below: 

Here at Grand Prize Promotions, we always like to say, “If you can dream it, we can insure it.” No promotion is too crazy, and we enjoy accepting a challenge. To see just how crazy it could get, we started to uncover history’s wackiest promotional  techniques ever executed, and some of them are just down-right hysterical!  

Whether your work situation has recently changed, or you’ve worked from home for many years, we are here to share the 5 stages of working from home that we’ve all gone through. If you haven’t yet, at least you’ll know what’s coming.  

Created in the early 1900's, Radio soared to the top of the list for mass media options. For the first time ever, listeners were able to get updates immediately! It continued to grow and is still a way we communicate across the world.

We have all seen the viral videos circling social media channels of phenomenal performances by everyday fans at basketball games competing for big-time prizes. The excitement and energy surrounding the most popular basketball game promotions can be felt throughout the stands of a game and can be replayed and re-lived for months and years to come across the internet.  

A promotion before, during, or after the game can be a great way to energize and engage fans and set yourself up for success on social media, too. Here are some of ours and the world’s favorite basketball promotions.

If you're organizing a fundraiser or other large community event, you want your function to go off without a hitch and attract a large crowd. There's no better way to get community participation than to offer some kind of amazing prize via an exciting giveaway, contest, or promotion. It could be a cash prize to the winner of your 5K or a brand-new car from the local dealership for kicking a 50-yard field goal at halftime. 

Whatever your prize, promotions like this are a great way to incentivize community participation. But have you ever wondered who pays for the prizes and giveaways?
