CPR Promotional Check-Up - Mar 27, 2015

Elton John

Congrats again (they're on a bit of a role, or roll) to 94.9 in Cincy for bringing back "Lion Kinging" to award some Elton tickets. This was the winner.

World's Largest Popsicle

When brainstorming we will often use "World's Largest" and "World's First" as thought-starters. Stick those in front of pretty much anything and you are halfway to gold.

From Steve Grunwald at 'YCD in Detroit: With the cold temps we have been having we thought it would be fun to make the Worlds Largest Popsicle here in Michigan. We had some great radio from it. Its over 300 Pounds. We used a 33 gallon trash can and tropical punch Kool Aid. Took a week to freeze solid.

Gallery Quest

One of the uber cooler afternoon talent is going into a three-four month period that is going to be jammed with club gigs and asked what stations are doing for "games" at these sales appearances. Sadly, PPM may have even ruined these promotions for us.

First, you can never go wrong with doing The Dollar Bill Game on-site. It's not loud and raucous but the clients seem to love having people with wallets packed with bills come to their bars. Go figure. Every 15 minutes read off three numbers and the first person to come up with all three, in order, wins. (There can be other numbers in between them but they need to be in that order)

I've noticed that quite a few people have "cell phones" these days. It feels like a fad. But you could do Gallery Quest which would be a scavenger hunt for saved images. Play some Star Wars music and announce that it's time for another Gallery Quest...and give out a photo, like "A picture of you with a Disney character." First person to rush up with one of their mobile device, wins.

The Shock Ball Challenge

Obviously, prize wheels epitomize Show Business, but there would be other things that we could do on-site and at remotes. For instance....
