CPR Promotional Check-Up - Apr 23, 2018

Swag Spree

First, like "gift cards", the term "prize closet" is kinda meh. You want a "prize vault" should you feel compelled to refer to the desk drawer where you keep stuff.

We once used a soccer team danceline to march with us in all our parades. (Whoot there it is) It gave us...bodies and bodies are good. There fee were pitchers of beer afterwards at the bar downstairs and they got five minutes in the prize closet to grab stuff. Stuff that was so awful that we didn't dare to give it away, like Pepto Bismal pink "Get Bare With Nair" tanktops. It didn't matter. It was free and they went nuts.

So, find a squad that will work for beer and if you have the inventory, award a spree in the prize vault.

Wiki Wednesday

I remember that the PD at Power in Miami was spotchecking other station sites and noticed that Power's jock bios were pretty much identical to everyone else's in town: "Paige will wake you up with a smile as he brings his own unique brand of family-friendly humor..."

So he had the audience re-write them. It was great and funny and just an excuse to do something stupid.

Look at this thing http://www.evilbeetgossip.com/2017/02/20/fan-edits-bands-wiki-page-to-get-backstage/

You could either have the audience create your wikipedia page and do it semi-funny with some little things worked in, "Following her early release, Elizabethany was brought on board in 2014..."

Or do it straight and once a week make a minor edit. Have the audience give you a word like "moist" that needs to be inserted into it. Wiki Wednesday? Or find just really odd Wikipedia posts and highlight one each week. Freaky Wiki?

Sherri with Hot 93.5 in Sudbury was thinking of having a listener every Friday rewrite the morning shows bios just for that weekend.

Speaking Of Sherri From Hot 89.9

She asks: Hi radio friends,

Are any stations doing anything with this game?

I was out Friday and at 9pm the ENTIRE bar was playing and on their phone. It's growing like crazy it seems.
