Halo Photobooths
If you don't have one or have a source that you can rent from for key events like concerts, you should move that pretty high up the priority list. KLUC in Las Vegas debuted theirs at Chet Buchanan's toy drive in December.
And Live 95.5 in Portland used theirs on Monday night at the thorough and complete buttkicking that was their presence at a Justin Timberlake show.
GNO (Girl's Night Out)
Wild in San Francisco was one of the first stations to strike Promotional Gold when they discovered what happens when you put together a party just for the female audience. They called them The Bachelorette Balls and basically it was 1000 listeners, 20 male strippers and Renee the midday talent. They were raucous and by far the hottest ticket on the station.
AMP in Calgary did it as an overnight to Las Vegas. Yup. You and your bestie flew with 19 other pairs of winners and the morning show. Left at 5 pm. Land at 8 pm. Partied until 8 am. Flew at nine and got into work late and smelling of booze.
Cumulus in Albuquerque is part of a charity GNO night out which is very cool. http://www.kobfm.com/2019/0½9/girls-night-out-april-26-2019/
Are You As Smart As A Speaker?
A tech version of the yugely popular "Are You Smarter Than Staci?" at KS95 in Minneapolis. Scott Sands at iHeart in Toledo done gots him some Echo's to give away. He's going to take a caller and ask them a question like, "What state has the most shoreline?" He'll then ask an Echo which will answer "Alaska". If the listener got Alaska, they get the Echo.
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?
Sherri with Hot 93.5 in Sudbury was thinking of having a listener every Friday rewrite the morning shows bios just for that weekend. -
