  • #48 In terms of promotions data, you don’t have to wait until you have a full database. Use what you have now. –Kathy Lehmen McClatchy
  • #52 Experiment with monetizing these profiles.
  • #55 Quad City Times Advertiser Facebook Sweepstakes “Win Dinner for 10 at Red Lantern” July 1-9 collected submissions 517 total submissions 355 came the day the email was sent 70% of contest entries came from the email
  • #57 Entercom also does a national cash contest that brings in hundreds of thousands of entries.  Don’t talk about text How it worked How many stations? When do you run – quarterly Run for 4 weeks We used to have a web based contest, but knowing how text contests make it easier for listeners to enter, we turned it into a text contest.  This brought a new challenge - we had no way of converting those hundred thousand entries into database members because the 104 stations all share the one common list.  So, we decided to send one final text message to all entrants at the end of the contest, thanked them for playing and invited them to join their favorite radio station’s exclusive club.  If they clicked on the mobile friendly link in the text, they were sent to a mobile friendly web page with all 21 of our markets.  When the user clicked on their market, they found their favorite station and could easily sign up for that station’s email club, text club or both.  We have found that these opt-ins are “stickier” - meaning that the user physically took his or her time to sign up.  These are “gold” in a database.  These are our active fans.  When we’ve done large, national web-based national contests in the past, we’ve seen a huge flood of opt-ins.  But sadly, we find that they don’t stick and, 6 months after the contest, we find that they have been inactive.  So, for us, it’s been a race to gain sticky fans and less about huge databases of disengaged fans.  Entercom also has an automated process where we flag a subscriber as “inactive” if they don’t open an email from us in 180 straight days.  We don’t delete them.  We just don’t send them emails because email sends aren’t free and sending emails to disengaged members isn’t a good business model.  That said, several times a year we do reactivation campaigns where we ask those subscribers why they left and give a compelling offer or subject line to entice them to open.  If they open that email, they will go back into our active database.  As long as they continue opening emails from us, they will stay in that active database.
  • #67 Our goal is to drive significant revenue growth with every contest we do.
  • #69 Danielle Outlaw Neuhoff communications
  • #70 The advertiser had been buying tickets for the best seats in the house at Busch Stadium (home of the Cardinals) for years, and this year he decided to use them as a prize for a Facebook sweepstakes. He wanted to partner with the radio station to execute this contest since they would be able to dramatically increase his reach using our media assets and audience.
  • #76 Largest station is in a city of 3500, county of 13k - definitely small market – we have created a new media plan - goal for 2015 is $250k! Quarter of a million dollars IT’S GOT TO BE BIG ENOUGH TO MATTER
  • #79 You can make the best effort the sooner you prepare kim wildenmann scripps company

You have to have a goal first and then have a plan to get there.
