Money Promotion

All over minor league baseball they are always having crazy promotions to try to get fans to come out to the games. Last night in Spokane, we had one of the coolest ones I have seen. People were able to sign up somewhere leading up to the game and then also at the game for a chance to be in on a money drop. They chose 30 people to do it. Here is the cool thing. They took $2,000 in $1 bills up in a helicopter and then dropped it all onto the field. They let the people loose and in just under 3 minutes all of the money was picked up. The other cool thing was that some of the money blew into the stands and into the dugouts, so everybody that was still around had a small chance to get in on the action.

Here is the chopper landing on the field and the intern getting in to go up and drop the money.


Here is the money falling out of the chopper and the mad dash for it. Sorry it is so bad, but I was trying to walk around and film over people and not run into anybody.


In my opinion, this was a solid promotion. I think $2k in the big picture to sponsor a promotion like this is a good investment. I have no idea how much the helicopter cost. People were crazy for this thing. You could even draw less people and give them a chance to get more money. Plus it was pretty fun to watch. Well done Spokane Indians.
