At the beginning of February, UPICKEM released its freshly designed College Basketball Bracket Contest for over 800 local media companies, including The Washington Post, CBS Television Stations, and Clear Channel. In some cases, local media partners have generated $ 100,000 or more in online sponsorship from a single UPICKEM sports contest in their market.
Below are a few features that make UPICKEMs contest successful year after year for local media companies:
Deep Facebook integration. This past pro football season, huge numbers of users signed up because of the deep Facebook integration. Players activity posts back to their walls to encourage friends to join the game.
Nationally managed by Second Street including prizes, administration and support.
Client has option to provide local sponsorships, prizes, VIP players and custom graphics.
A proven mobile solution, plus, new this year, a version for the iPad and other tablets
A freshly designed pick page. See an example from WIBW-TV.
In January, Second Street hosted a How to Sell College Basketball webinar to illustrate the value of their College Basketball Contest and to inspire clients to organize their internal sales teams to begin securing sponsorships. In the webinar, five proven models for generating revenue with UPICKEMs College Basketball Bracket were presented. Examples included KFMB-TVs success with an exclusive sponsor, The Atlanta Journal-Constitutions first time running the bracket contest online, and WSAZ-TVs success with a variety of promotion avenues.
