Paige Nienaber - CPR Promotions

Summary

I’m going to start by laying out “Promotions” as it is applied to Sales, Morning Shows, Contesting and Charitable drives. Since 4% of people play contests, what would happen if a station could jack that number ONE percent. So how do we do that? I’m going to discuss “street marketing” and the 25% theory of handshaking, “The Mall Idea Theory Of Promotions” and then teach them how to do The Reaction Game. There will be a 10 minute break and then 30 ideas in thirty minutes
