Zippo Rocks Out with New Campaign
Keywords: Marketing
People are still using lighters, so no doubt Zippo Manufacturing Co., the Bradford, Pa.-based maker of the now-retro-cool Zippo, is hoping that people are still flicking them on at rock concerts to signal their devotion (or nascent pyromania).
The company has launched a musical event, sweepstakes, giveaway, social media and online marketing program with retail tie-in called "Zippo Encore." The effort, with the tag "Rock On," aims to boost sales and increase Zippo's social media presence and product awareness among males 18 to 35. |

FCC Proposes Allowing Public Radio to Use 1% of Airtime to Raise Cash for Charities
Keywords: Radio
Public service is part of the DNA of broadcasters and often that's done with on-air campaigns. But public radio stations have long been limited in their ability to conduct radiothons and air pitches for charities.
The FCC is proposing to loosen its rules to help public stations do more to help charities, churches, schools, and other non-profits raise money for worthy causes. |

Daily Sales Tip: Partnering with a Convenience Store
Want to gain visibility for a station promotion while you create incremental revenue that could self-liquidate the promotion's costs? Consider partnering with a multi-location retailer like a C-Store.
Display your grand prize, like a new vehicle, at various locations. Broadcast your morning show live. The C-Store benefits by showcasing their coffee and food, and you benefit by reaching current and new listeners face-to-face while showcasing your promotion.
Best of all, many C-Stores have non-advertising promotional funds to make these things happen. Ask for the district manager or the local person responsible for retail sales within the C-Store.
