GRAND PRIZE PROMOTIONS BLOG

We are starting to get that bit of 'fall in the air,' and that only means one thing. The long hot summer is coming to an end and football season is underway! Man caves are being refurbished, Saturday and Sunday schedules are being cleared, and the latest' tailgating food ideas' are trending!

Today, in this post, we are going to be looking at some popular auto dealer promotions, and how easy it really is to provide these types of 'big ticket prizes' that drive 'big-ticket sales' with the team at Grand Prize Promotions.

With the introduction of the X-Games to the wide world of motorsport, the Powersport genre has found firm footing on a global scale. And, as more Powersport competitions have grown in popularity, it seems that there is a category of Powersport for every age and classification for enthusiasts from the casual participant to those that have gained the title of professional. It is a safe bet on how long this brand of motorsport competition intends on hanging around!

Baseball is a fun and exciting game for the whole family. It's not just about watching the players on the field, it's about going to games and having a good time. Because of the relaxed pace of a baseball game, with plenty of downtime between innings, during pitcher substitutions, and during the "7th Inning Stretch," some teams like to spice up their games with giveaways, contests, or promotions. Here are five of our favorites that you might consider for your own games:

Soccer matches are known for the fun contests held for fans before the game begins and between the two 45-minute halves.

How do you make your business known? Go out there and make your business recognized! Offline marketing is still a crucial function in the success of every business. A significant event with a grand prize giveaway presents a wealth of opportunities to promote businesses.

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?
