Grand Experiences

Experiential Rewards that Reflect Your Brand & Delight Your Customers

When it comes to rewarding your customers, you want to be able to offer them something truly unique that also strongly reflects your brand.

Take your brand’s image to the next level through the use of experiential rewards. Experiential rewards can enhance how customers perceive your brand and create a longer lasting impression of your brand that will keep you front-of-mind for years to come.

Many of our clients, some of which are part of the Fortune 500 group, have praised the use of our experiential rewards as it has helped them to create a deeper connection with their customers. Creating a connection between your brand and customers can be tricky and you have to try new things in order to get your customers’ attention. Experiential rewards are often featured in commercials, websites, social media, on physical point-of-purchase materials, and public events; all of which help to get customers talking about your brand.

As part of Odenza’s Grand Experience offerings, we craft custom-made packages with the features and perks that match your brand image and message, tie to the campaign you are running, and inspire and surprise your recipients.

No matter the event, experience, or destination, Odenza will provide a Grand Experience that your customers love and keeps your brand front-of-mind.

The Super Bowl – few sporting events get much bigger than the Super Bowl, bringing in billions of viewers from across the globe. For the 2023 Super Bowl, Odenza offered the Super Bowl Getaway, which included roundtrip air, 2 nights of accommodation at the Holiday Inn Express (Peoria, AZ), car rental, and 2 tickets to the Super Bowl.

NHL Playoffs and Stanley Cup final – the Playoffs and Stanley Cup final stand as the most exciting time in the NHL season. Odenza offers grand experiences in relation to the NHL and the Playoffs. For 2023, we put forward a Finals VIP Package, including tickets to game 3 or 4 of the Stanley Cup finals, 3 days/2 nights of accommodation, and full daily breakfast along with expert pre-trip planning and concierge services.

UFC Championship Fight – no matter the time of year, championship fights in the UFC make for exhilarating viewing. Odenza arranged a UFC Sporting Event package for a client in 2019, sending two lucky recipients to Las Vegas for 2 nights, including limo transport from the airport to their hotel, and a pair of tickets to the UFC event on December 14.

March Madness Final Four – the March Madness Final Four is one of the most hotly anticipated sporting events every year. During the 2019 NCAA March Madness Championships, Odenza put together a final four package that a client used as a grand prize for a very lucky customer and a companion. The package included roundtrip airfares and three nights hotel stay in Minneapolis, as well as the Final Four Experience – which included tickets for 2 to both semi-final games and the championship game.

The Masters Golf – the first major golfing tournament of the year, the Masters Golf brings the world’s greatest male golfers to one place. In 2019, a client saw an opportunity to offer a grand prize to their golf-loving customers. Tiger Woods went on to claim his first victory in 11 years, making for an unforgettable experience for the lucky winners. With the grand prize package, the winner was provided with roundtrip airfare for two; two nights hotel stay in Augusta, GA; and two tickets to the Masters final.

International Trips – when it comes to international trips, Odenza can create custom packages that cater to a wide range of experiences and interests. One such example is a South African Adventure package we put together for a client.

Resort stays can be customized to be longer, shorter, for more people, early check-in and late checkout, and more.

Rocky Mountain National Park Hiking Adventure – grand experiences go beyond large sporting events and luxurious getaways. We can also offer unforgettable adventures such as a multi-day hiking trip with premium accommodations. This was previously done for a client in the form of a Rocky Mountain National Park Hiking Adventure, which included roundtrip air for 4, 4 nights of accommodation at the famed Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, and multiple guided hiking daytrips.

NYC Getaway with Event Tickets – as part of our grand experiences, we can craft luxurious getaways that allow customers to visit beloved cities and attend local events. With our NYC Getaway, recipients received two tickets to an event of their choosing, enjoyed 4 nights of 5-star accommodation, and were driven to and from the airport in a limousine.

High Value Vacation Certificate – when it comes to offering customers the greatest freedom with a grand experience, a high value vacation certificate is the way to go. You can set the value – from hundreds of dollars to thousands – and provide the recipient with the certificate. All they have to do is reach out to Odenza and we’ll assist them in custom-building their ideal grand experience.

Below, you can learn more about the Grand Experience we put together with Panasonic back in 2017.

Spider-Man New York Package with Panasonic

With the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming, anticipation for the film was high and Panasonic Canada had secured a sponsorship with the film.

In order to drive excitement and increase sales of their line of Alkaline Plus and Platinum Power batteries, Panasonic wanted to run a contest that lasted several months and maintained consistent interest throughout its duration. Along with the aim of driving an uptick in battery sales, Panasonic also hoped to increase traffic to its Canadian website and grow their social media presence.

To achieve these goals, Panasonic partnered with Odenza, and we took care of the grand prizes. There were six in total, with each grand prize offering a trip to NYC for two people – we provided the trip certificates and handled the organization of each trip with the lucky winners.

The contest ran for 12 weeks, with the six grand prizes being awarded at the end of its run. Panasonic made a large push for the contest both online and offline, with social media and a devoted microsite being the key online channels, and the specific line of Panasonic batteries being specially designed to promote the contest at different retailers across Canada.

There is so much more that can be said of this fantastic Grand Experience. So, if you are interested to learn even more about our work with Panasonic Canada, you can check out the full story here: Panasonic & Spider-Man: A Digital Marketing Success Story.
