In some areas of the country it’s hard to believe Spring is around the corner! Time to start thinking about those super fun promotion ideas! Among them, the ever celebrated Promposals!
Back in my day (completely ages me) we didn’t have the Promposals. Hell, we didn’t even have cell phones to text “Sup. prom?” Now, there’s this huge presentation a teenage boy has to concoct in order to ask his girlfriend of the last six months if she’ll go to a school function they’ve already silently agreed on doing. Since there’s so much pressure placed on these teenagers, why not help out?
YOUR station could do the Promposal and have it recorded on air and on video! The promotion would be something like “Will You Go to Prom with KISS FM?!” The winner won’t have to do the asking, YOU will have that nerve racking job. The station will post up at the high school at the end of the day on a Friday. A huge banner will be hung on the station tent that says “_____ Will You Go To Prom With ____?” The kid asking will come out and stand next to the banner. We’ll have flowers waiting for him to give to the askee.
Not only will the station do the asking, we’ll provide the dress, tux rental, flowers (I don’t think they do corsages anymore but I could be wrong), and boutonniere. You can also throw in a GC for dinner. The prom goers tend to go in groups so you may want to take a poll on social media before the contest to find out what restaurant they usually go to for dinner before dances.
Before calling your winner, call their school and get approval to be in school grounds. This could go badly if you don’t get the proper approvals in place first.
This can easily be sponsored. Website, social media, on air mentions. You can trade for the dress, tux rental, flowers and dinner. You can make this as big or easy as you want! Promposals are huge and this is a great opportunity to garner some of those younger listeners.
