CPR Promotional Check-Up

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

If you live in a place like Minneapolis or Detroit or Albany or St. Johns, every third pickup on the street has a plow on the front of it. So this isn't really rocket science. For Jingle Ball tickets my neighbor Kent would gladly go and plow out driveways. K-97 in Edmonton is giving away free snow jobs this winter. Go to the station website, register and when it snows, the station could show up to shovel you out. The best prize you can ever give a listener? The ability to get out of their driveway and to work so they don't lose their job. Everyone who registers is in the running for a free snowblower from a client.

Wiimaging

Wii's are just way way way too good to just waste through standard contesting. And just because Christmas is over, it doesn't mean that they're not still in demand. Here is a script I pounded out for KOOL in Phoenix for their promo last year:

The Wee's down in Weeville, the tall and the wee, they loved Christmas, and their Wee Christmas Trees. But the Krinch up on South Mountain, he hated the Wee's. With their "Whoops! and their "Whees" and the Wii's bought during sprees. Oh how he hated the Wee's Wii's the most. They play all day, they drink and they boast. The binging and boinging as they played with their Wii's, it was a sound no Krinch could help but displease. So the Krinch, oh the Krinch, had an old Krinchy plan, he'd go down to Weeville, take their Wii games, from each Wee child, Wee Woman and Wee man. Then he'd bring back the Wii's and he wrap them up nice, some in gold tinsel, some he's wrap twice. Then he'd call his friend Bob at that station called KOOL, he'd take his Krinch call, the guy's got a phone at his pool. Then Bob would regift the Wee's Wii's, giving them out to his fans, the trail back to the Krinch would be cold, oh my what a plan! So listen to KOOL and call in you cheapskate, a free Wee Wii, why that would be great. And the Krinch on the hill, why this Christmas morning he'll sleep in, no sounds of whee from the Wee to cause that darn din.

The Power Of The Wii: Part Woo

From Nick Addams at CAM-FM: we auctioned a Wii Fit and console on the Morning Show last Friday and raised $1300 which was donated to the 2nd Annual Charity Checkstop with CAM-FM, Camrose Police and the RCMP. We raised funds for Victim Services, Food Bank and Silent Santa (all 3 local charities supporting Camrose and area). I was on location with lots of cops (and I didn't get tazed or shot!) for a few hours on a rainy Saturday afternoon last weekend ... grand totals included 350 vehicles stopping by in 4 hours, 3000 lbs of food for The Food Bank, 1100 toys for Silent Santa and around $7500 cash.
