Fifty Things You Could Sell In September

If you don’t go to the Brownielocks site, you should. Because there’s “stuff” in there that you might/could turn into something. Like what Max Media in Denver did with National Water Park Day last Thursday.

You should take a quick look at August. Because there are things like Black Business Month, National Immunization Month, Exercise With Your Child Week and National Night Out that you could creatively include a client on.

But I also operate in the real world and know that you might need more lead time. So here are 50 things in September to look at and then just go through your mental rolodex and try to connect advertisers with them. If you turned even one of these around, that would be great and would place you in the upper 1% of Radio As We Know It.

With some of the food stuff like Taco Month and Waffle Week and Ice Cream Day…easy. Do a bracket. The Beasley stations have made bank on food brackets. Entercom in Chattanooga looked for the best Mexican restaurant in town. Random voters got gift cards to the winning place and the top restaurant got a small sked from the station.

So, here ya go:

All American Breakfast Month

“Best breakfast joint in town”. Simple.

Baby Safety Month

College Savings Month

Eat Chicken Month

Happy Healthy Cat Month

Easy peasy. Do a gallery with pet food or vet service as a prize. Half of social media is literally people posting pics of their pets. Cool. If they’re doing that, then they should be doing it with us.
