Event-Based Rebate Promotions

Event Rebates

That Increase Sales

Tie a full refund to a sports outcome or a weather event, and turn everyday shoppers into engaged fans. SCA covers 100% of the risk — you keep 100% of the reward.

what are event rebates?

An event rebate refunds your customer’s full purchase price if a specific, verifiable event happens. The home team wins a championship, a kick-off return for a touchdown, a record snowfall, or a triple-digit heat wave. SCA calculates the odds, sets a fixed cost before you launch, and pays every eligible claim if the trigger fires. You get a headline-worthy promotion with your total cost locked in from day one.

Why Event Rebates Work

Turn Fan Passion & Weather Watching Into Sales

Record-Breaking Sales

SCA event rebates have delivered the best sales months in the histories of furniture stores, car dealerships, and retailers across the country.

Earned Media

A newsworthy rebate tied to a beloved team or a wild weather forecast gets picked up by TV news, radio, and social media. Free exposure worth far more than the prize.

Community Engagement

Your brand becomes part of the local conversation. Customers root for the trigger and for your promotion, building lasting brand affinity.

Zero Financial Risk

SCA calculates the odds, issues the coverage, and pays every winning claim. Your cost is fixed before you launch, no surprises, ever.

Two Ways to Turn Events Into Sales

What IS Sports Event Rebate?

Convert fan passion into revenue & earned media.

You may be familiar with “Mattress Mack” in Houston, Texas, who offered customers the chance to receive their purchase for free if the Astros won the World Series. These programs resonate with regional markets and often generate additional local and national media coverage.

SCA Sports Event Rebates allow you to have the same impact in your market. Offer your customers a full refund if your local team wins the Championship. For a fraction of the sales total, SCA covers the risk and pays the rebate if your team wins big. We take the risk. You get the reward.

SCA has been in business since 1986, awarding more than $312,000,000 in rebates and prizes. We have the experience TO work together to impact your market.

WHAT IS A WEATHER REBATE?

Leverage Weather Event Rebates Into Sales

Welcome to the world of Weather Rebates, a concept that conjoins a touch of nature’s spontaneity to your sales success. Turn weather and sales into a remarkable partnership. If a specific weather event occurs in your market, a record snowfall, a sub-zero temperature, a summer heat milestone, your customers get a full refund. SCA covers every dollar of the risk.

EVENT Rebate Promotion Ideas

Pick Your Trigger Event

Any verifiable, measurable sports outcome can be the trigger for your rebate. Here are the most popular — and most effective — options SCA administers.

Championship Game

If your team wins the championship, your customers receive a full refund on their purchases, and you get all the glory, the media coverage, and the brand loyalty.

Records Broken

Cheer your team or favourite player to break a record. When the record falls, customers get their money back. It's a win-win built on genuine sports excitement.

Kickoff Return

If the opening or second-half kickoff is returned for a touchdown, all eligible customers win big. SCA covered 8 simultaneous clients on this trigger at Super Bowl XLVIII.

Playoff Advancement

Offer a rebate if your local team advances past a specific playoff round. Keeps customers engaged, and your brand top of mind, throughout the entire postseason.

Perfect Game / No-Hitter

Rare feats that stop the sports world. Tie your rebate to a once-in-a-season event that generates massive excitement and virtually no statistical probability of payout.

Custom Milestone

Any verifiable, measurable sports milestone can be your trigger. Work with SCA to design a custom event. SCA calculates the odds and sets a fixed coverage premium.

Temperature

Highs and low temps can trigger a pay day for lucky customers. 100 degrees on Independence Day or 0 degrees on New Years Day for example.

Rain

Take advantage of April showers and increase sales and customer excitement. 10 inches of rain in 24-hours could result in profits and earned media.

snow

If it is going to be cold, may as well take advantage of it and run the highest ROI marketing campaign of the year. Lots of snow equals lots of sales.

How It Works

Simple Process. Powerful Results.

Define the Trigger

Choose a verifiable event, a championship win, a kickoff-return touchdown, a record snowfall, or a temperature milestone. We help you frame the offer for maximum market appeal.

SCA Calculates & Covers

We run the statistical analysis and lock in a fixed premium before you launch. Your total cost is protected from day one, no surprises, ever.

You Promote & Sell

Launch on TV, radio, digital, or in-store with a newsworthy reason for every prospect in your market to buy now.

Event Happens? SCA Pays.

If the trigger fires, SCA processes and pays every eligible claim — typically within 3 to 7 business days. Your margin stays protected, always.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY

The jackpot machine promotion has brought in more people in 1 hour than we usually get in 1 day. This promotion has been great so far.

Our store had the best month of sales in the eight years it has been open. More than 600 people bought items during the promotional period totaling more than $1 million in sales.

SCA is always a pleasure to work with, and they are good about thinking outside the box and trying to help us to promote campaigns in different ways.

The day was perfect. Everyone was so excited. We had a crowd of people in the parking lot and at the end of the day, we had already made three sales and set three additional reservations.
