GRAND PRIZE PROMOTIONS BLOG

It’s always a fan-favorite and a great spectacle when players or fans manage to hit a coveted half-court shot. Whether it’s for 3 points or big prizes, it’s always a tough shot, but we’re left wondering just how tough is it?

Everyone who has been to a live sporting event has seen the games and contests held between quarters, at halftime, or between innings. A half-court shot, home run derby, hitting a sign in the outfield, or a foot race around the field. No matter what it is, it’s great fun to cheer on your fellow fans as they compete for the prize. 

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!  

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.

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?
