CPR Promotional Check-Up - May 4, 2021

Flags Of Hope

Every week we’re seeing more tributes and honors to the victims and the heroes of the past year.

Flags have always been a way to pay tribute and remember. Pepperdine University covers the hill on PCH with US flags for the anniversary of 9/11 every year.

In Orlando, a hospital has put out “Flags Of Hope” to remember the losses, the struggles and to acknowledge all the little victories over the past year. If you have a great relationship with a medical center or hospital, you should see if this is something they’d like to do for May 25th. Or any day.

Web Games!

Now that you have Foreigner firmly stuck in your head, one of the stations has a new goal they need to hit for web traffic. Not social media, but the station site.

As exciting as pop culture news is, it might not have the draw that’s going to get extra clicks. You need content. You need something that will bring them back to play. And not “register your email” but a a game.

WROR in Boston had a lot of luck with “Match Game”. Just simple, updated, match the airstaff to:

• Their prom dates
• Their first car
• Teacher comments on report cards (The second Fugitive at
  KDWB got “Appears to need more rest” on hers in 6th grade)
• Their first concerts
• Their first jobs.

So, that would work.

CPR Director of Computer Stuff, Bel Boschi, has stayed in touch with her family in Brazil and tried to keep her parents who have been in their home for 14 months occupied. So they’ve been doing “Find The Objects” and sharing photos and things that they need to find in the photo.

So that would work.

V-103 in Baltimore needed “something” for on-site at events and festivals, so, for a whopping $50, the engineer created a Name That Tune game. All that was needed was a DAT, an 8 foot table, a mike and sound system and three buttons to hit.

People LOVED it and it always drew a big crowd. Way bigger than the people who had the prize wheel.

So doing that on the site would also work.

Baby Body Shaming

First, for social media content next week, “Switched At Birth” or, “listeners who have been told they look like celebrities would be fun. It’s Mothers Day week. You kind of need to acknowledge Mothers Day.

Mothers love to remind their children about the pain they have put them through. Literally in some cases.

So, what if you do a contest to find the listener who was the biggest baby? Obviously some kind of documented evidence or proof would be required. A birth certificate or hospital record would be great but I’d settle for a newspaper article.

The “winners” mom would get spa, massage and other prizes to take her mind off the experience.
