Meat Raffles

As an industry, we’re outstanding at passing around a hat and asking people to give us money or toys or food.

Better than that is a product.

So for a children’s hospital, Shredd and Ragan at 97 Rock are doing a meat raffle event.

As God is my witness, I didn’t know that anyone outside of the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin knew what a meat raffle was. You go. You buy tickets and every 15 or 20 minutes, they read a number. If you have that, go over and pick out big package of meat. 4th of July ribs last summer were courtesy of a meat raffle at a bar in Forest Lake. Yum.

Five Things You Can Sell

Pothole Patrol They’ve already started their annual appearance where I am. KKLZ in Las Vegas does it, sponsored by an auto repair chain, and people alert the station and the City to particularly pitted streets, and these get bumped up to the top of the list for repair.

Uber Rides This is something that Cumulus in Albuquerque does for all of the drinking holidays.

From Jeff Berry ---- Yes, we have some partners that underwrite the $10 voucher, and other partners underwrite the commercials and promos. We have a Personal Injury Attorney as the title and provides the most $$$, but we have multiple businesses that underwrite this. I do a press conference the NMDOT once a year and I say from the bottom of my heart, I KNOW since 2019 and providing $240,000 in rides, that we have literally saved lives. Of all the (stuff) I have done in 30 years, this is the one I am most proud of.

Gowntown Not for the weak-hearted because this is an undertaking. It requires people. But basically you collect used prom dresses, have them cleaned and then do a big Filene’s kind of sale. No dress over $25 and all the money goes to charity. I can walk you through it. Gown Town 2017: Save The Date - YouTube

Point Of Law This would be perfect for law firms. This is an old feature from WCCO and people tuned in at the appt time to try and guess the result. Could be done entirely on-line.

Girl Scout Cookie Finder This was done by one of the Midwest Family stations and is similar to what KOOL up here does with “Garage Sale Finder.” A sponsored calendar of times and places that girls (and their parents) will be set up and ambushing people entering and leaving businesses.
