"Robust Promotions is, without a doubt, the most personable, professional and fun to work with company in direct mail/advertising or marketing. They take a special and personal interest in their clients and it always extends beyond the "sale". Their product is second to none and the results not only exceeded our expectations but for our franchisees as well. If anyone is looking for true "partners", Robust Promotions should be on your speed dial!"

“Greg and Leslie have unearthed a promotional strategy that is very effective in building frequency inside of retail stores. Because of all the legal ramifications, they have engaged one of the top law firms in the United States, which also handles the McDonald’s Monopoly game. That ensures 100 percent compliance, so the client never has to worry about that issue.
 
From an execution standpoint, it doesn’t incur all the heavy media costs that are usually related to building top-line sales and profitability. It has a lot of elasticity in terms of developing incentive programs for staff members that can be rewarded through a scratch-and-win process.”
 
They’re capitalizing on the popularity of lotteries and what the publishers clearing house did. People love the element of surprise. And through case studies, they have seen significant increases in sales, and frequency of visits.
 
What Greg and Leslie do is simplify the process and not try to be all things to all people. The thing I love about them is their authenticity. They’re fun to do business with and they have a servant mentality: they get the job done. When they make a promise, they deliver on it.

Lenny’s Sub Shop – Online Sweepstakes Overlay

"We used Robust Promotions for a big scratch and win campaign for 160 restaurants in 20 states that also offered a chance to win $100,000. Their company was fantastic. They took care of everything in a turnkey manner and even helped take care of all of the legal work and prize administration. Their prices were very reasonable and they were extremely professional. I definitely recommend them and I am planning on doing business with them again."
