Prize Parachute Drop
Please use the form below to contact us about new pricing on chutes. Imprinted Chutes are now under $2.00 (10,000 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 a couple 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 a bolstered advertising
opportunities.
This
version of the parachute drop has been in the regular
rotation for NBA teams like the 76'ers This version
of the Parachute has limites on the prize weight.
It is not suitable for dropping t-shirts. Total prize
weight should not exceed 3 ounces.
We
can also help you find the item to drop with the
Parachute, request information using the form below.

clips from $.32 (numerous options)
- Lottery
Scratchers from $.23
- Mini
Ice Scrappers from $.29
- Floating
Containers from $.65 (numerous options)

Tags and Key Chains: (hundreds of options)
Prizes
on the chutes must be soft and of minimal weight.
Many users attach redeemable coupons to the chutes
that fans can exchange for t-shirts or other prizes.
One consideration for dropping items is that you
don't want to drop anything from the rafter that
would be dangerous if the chute doesn't open fully.
Soft, light items are recommended.
Thanks
to Alyson Caplan for her help and consideration with
this spotlight.
