All the madness of March basketball may be over, but now is the perfect time to keep that engagement momentum going with some other bracket promotions! Brackets are a great opportunity to sell a sponsorship and award a prize for maximum effect, however, they’re also fun for your audience even when there is no prize attached.

Food Fight!
Which food is the ultimate fan favorite? Let burgers, pizza, hotdogs, and more go head-to-head in a bracket-style showdown, where your audience votes for the one true champion of foods. Drive engagement by awarding a local restaurant gift card to one lucky bracket participant!
