CPR Promotional Check-Up - Feb 25, 2021

That Was Easy

One of Pittsburgh stations did “Fish Fry Finders” on their page and one of the Classic Hits stations did Garage Sale Finder.

Kudos and even an accolade to Sunny in South Bend for doing a cookie finder. And “Girl Scout locator” would be different. Don’t do that!

Cindo de (Talent)

Because of Gus Swanson at Hubbard in Seattle, I made my first venture into the World Of Etsy. Did you know that there are people who will make custom pinatas for you for like $30?

So then you would sell some client’s prizes into your pinata and on the morning of May 5th (it’s a Wednesday), Facebook Live it as one of the talent, blindfolded, takes swings at it. Each swing is for a caller, and if the swing that coincides with me being the caller on hold breaks it open, I get the prizes.

If you are doing appearances in May, well, there ya go.

Spring Taking A Break

First, for the non-teen stations one of the go-to promotions for Spring Break was to create activities and events and time-killers for moms who suddenly had their kids home for a week. Which is something that Radio has really perfected since last March.

One of the stations is taking another look at Spring Break as maybe giving families DISTANCE from each other. Because absence does in fact make the heart grow fungus. Or something.

This was already done by NOW in SFO where they sent a guy for a gold weekend down in Monterey and a woman up to a BnB in Wine Country.

I was messaging with Ice at Live in Portland and we were discussing about how we REALLY need a trip and have each picked out our post-vaccine destinations. She’s going to a scrapbooking in Branson and I’m going to have a blackout weekend in Vancouver.

So, maybe, possibly, if you have a travel partner like Allegiant Airlines who right now is about to do a Nashville trip in one of the markets, do a “Later Day Break Away” contest. Win your break away for when the time is right.
