CPR Promotional Check-Up - Jul 17, 2014

Water Drops

Hot 104.5 in Knoxville did their first Water Drop of the season, hitting parks, ball fields and wherever people were sweltering with cold bottled water. And this of course was sold and sponsored. Double "yeah".

Social Snooping

So it seems that this is the season we have a lot of interns sitting around looking for busy work. Good.

Have them go to your competition's social media and find people who request songs that you play, or ask when is the next time they're going to play a song that you play. And send these competition listeners the appt. times for the next several hours when they can get their almost instant gratification. And BTW: look around. Even at your own Twitter and Facebook - we totally ignore these people. STOOPID.

There was a guy who posted on the competition page in SFO and asked "When is the next time you're going to give away Bruno Mars tickets?" No reply. An hour later he repeated the question. No reply. Then he asked "Is anyone there?" No reply. Then he posted "Why even have a Facebook page?" I threw him at Carlos at NOW who messaged him and invited him to come by and pick up his free Bruno tickets.

Moment In Time

Most things that are considered "genius" are really just amazing instances of common sense.

Bubba from Star in Pittsburgh got the airstaff to hit that the next morning at 9 am, he wanted listeners to tweet whatever they were doing and hashtag is #bubbashowmomentintime. It trended into the stratosphere. http://starpittsburgh.cbslocal.com/bubbashowmomentintime
