In our world, months are typically correlated with the different sporting events that occur during that month. For example, February is when the Superbowl and the  Daytona 500 happen. Then, October is for MLB World Series, and March is for the NCAA basketball tournament known as March Madness. But – what about April?  We are hoping the title of this blog completely gives it away! Amateur and Professional golfers definitely know what we’re talking about.

“Take me out to the ball game. Take me out to the crowd!”  This song is an all-time favorite for all ages, but I think everyone is ready to “root, root, root for the home team” this year!

Opening Day for Baseball is the earliest in history, so someone was listening to our prayers. Get yourself ready for March 28^th because it’s going to be a busy day. All 30 teams play on this day, so are you looking for promotions for on-field or even off-field entertainment? We have just the ones for you! Here we go:

When you think of St. Patrick’s Day, what comes to mind? Is it a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or leprechauns guarding their gold? Maybe you think of all things green, and a pinch if you aren’t wearing any. Either way, St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday recognized across the globe as a day to celebrate Irish culture on or around March 17^th. That makes St. Patrick’s Day the perfect holiday to promote your organization since everyone recognizes, if not celebrates, the day!

The madness is about to get real! If you love basketball, then March is a month you look forward to all year, and the love for the game runs deep in your veins. I remember while growing up, I had a teacher that would let us watch March Madness on her projector during her class because she loved it so much! So, the mania is everywhere during March, and there is nothing better than spicing up your organization’s promotions than with these basketball-themed ideas that are perfect for everyone!

Did you know every single day in February has one to three different “holidays” that people actually acknowledge and/or celebrate? That’s over 60 opportunities to market your business to the masses. Now, some of the holidays are just goofy. For example, Feb 4^th is “create a vacuum day” or Feb 11 is “don’t cry over spilled milk day.” And my personal favorite? Feb 20^th, “love your pet day” – as if we needed another reason to spoil our pets. Believe it or not, the list goes on! So, there’s no excuse not to promote your business and every reason to do it. GPP has created a couple of promotions to hopefully spark some creativity in you while you are planning your contests.

February is approaching quickly which means Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it, and soon there will be flowers on every corner and hearts lining the streets. We will let you decide on a gift for your sweetheart, but when it comes to capturing the love and affection of your clients and customers, we know just the trick.

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!  

We are excited to announce that American Media and Special Promotions is now Grand Prize Promotions!

The title says it all! The new year gives you the opportunity to have a fresh start. George Bernard Shaw said it best when he said, “Don’t wait for the right opportunity; create it!” That’s exactly what we’ve done for you. We have created and designed promotions to help kick-start sales and gain awareness around your brand. You may recognize some of the promotions, but we have added a holiday twist to a few of them:
