Survey Says!

This a great drive time feature from Jeffrey Haber at 98.9 Magic-FM in Colorado Springs ---

I find a survey on the interwebs, and listeners call in and guess the top answer. The first one who gets it right wins tickets. I ask the question out of stopset, then take guesses and edit them together while 2 songs play. Then I play back a few wrong guesses (this break is less than a minute long) than 2 more songs play while I take more answers. I keep going like that until I get a winner. I've had the game go for over 30-40 minutes because nobody could get it right - those are the best. Anyone who doesn't want to win the tickets is playing along with their kids/husband/wife in the car - usually arguing over which answer is correct. Questions are simple enough that anyone can play along. I get regulars who call in every day now.

Kicked it off with some big prizes, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Snoop Dogg tix, now the phones are off the hook everytime, even for Chris D'Eila

The Occasional Problem With Registration Contests

The FIRST Mothers Day at Wild SFO, we did “Wildest Moms”. A winner and her three wild guests would go to Backseat Bettys for leather clothes and lingerie, and then fly to LA and limo up and down Sunset Strip and see the Chippendales and they each got 107 $1 bills for stuffing in g-strings.

I got the stomach flu, missed three days of work, returned and it was sold to ANYTIME (FREAKING) CHECK CASHING. The randomly drawn winner was a 68 year-old retired women’s corrections officer and her friends were all, if possible, older. One WOULDN’T fly and the winner had a bad leg with vein issues so it was a chore for her to fly. She would have needed a First Class aisle seat on the right side of the plane. And there was someone on O2. We ended up having to rent a VERY expensive van to get them there and back. It was a nightmare.

For things that are specific to moms, dad’s, babys, ski’ers and specific hobbyists that you’d really hope the prize wasn’t going to go to a Prize Person who enters everything. (The pastor at our church’s brother is one such individual who is single, lives with his parents and one a wedding reception from a station in Chicago by entering his email.

So it’s nice that this contest from Jammin in New London had a mom methodology: kids calling and telling the morning show something that they’d never told their mom. The likelihood that a mom will actually get to enjoy this array of prizes, is pretty good. And they’re GREAT prizes.

The Best Concert Trip Methodology Of At Least The Last Five Years

And obviously, if you believe yours is better, please let me know. I’m writing this clobbered by allergies.

This is from the always cool KZIA:

You call and pick an available card from a 52 card deck.

You then go to a party at a winery, everyone gets a prize and one card will be pulled. THAT person goes to see Lady Gaga in Chicago with great seats and $500 for spending.

To win, you have to listen to the radio. And the sponsor gets people visiting their location. A win for everyone.
