Parachute Prize Drop

Anyone can simply hand out an imprinted product. But if the delivery message is something memorable, the promotion has that much more of an effect. Rather than handing them out on a first-come-first-serve basis, you can now drop your premiums from the top of the arena with the Gameops.com Parachutes.

Please use the form below to contact us about new pricing on chutes. Imprinted chutes are now under $2.00 (1,000 pieces).

Anyone can simply hand out an imprinted product. But if the delivery message is something memorable, the promotion has that much more of an effect. For example: During a recent Philadelphia 76ers basketball game, the team's ownership, Comcast-Spectacor, provided a few hundred imprinted, red chip-clips. Rather than handing them out on a first-come-first-serve basis, the clips were launched from the top of the stadium attached to red, imprinted cloth parachutes. As the clips floated down to the first and second levels, fans reached with gusto for the inexpensive promotional product. However, grabbing one became more enticing when it was announced that one of the parachutes also included a free trip to an island resort. The place went wild. Unfortunately for the 10,000+ in attendance, there was only one winner, but those who snagged one of the products cherished it just the same. (* Promogram).

The Sixers run this promotion every game and drop about 500 parachutes in a dazzling sky display. Most parachutes drop down with a 3 inch chip clip. Some clips have a coupon for a sponsor and most nights one parachute has a coupon for a grand prize on one chip clip. This prize varies from a restaurant gift certificate to a DVD player that can be picked up at fan accommodations.

They selected the chip clips for several reasons. The clips are lightweight, inexpensive, printable, useful and allow them to attach the coupons easily.

We have added options for ice scrappers, lottery scrappers, key chains, computer screen wipers,luggage tags and floating containers. Items that have a hole on top allow you to connect the parachute to the item quickly and easily. If you are looking for additional options or a quote, just use the form below to ask for help.

A parachute drop promotion was the winner of the Gameops.com 2002 Best Contest or On-Field Promotion. (Best of 2002 Awards). There are a couple of different versions of this. This spotlight focuses on a less expensive drop that is limited to 3 or fewer ounces on the drop. A second option, which we plan to cover in the near future, is a larger chute that allows for heavier items (like t-shirts) and bolstered advertising opportunities.
