Update #1: Our rewards just got BETTER!

Posted on June 13, 2010

Brainstorming takes place daily here at KMUZ, and last night Karen came up with a doozy: Why offer a mere month's worth of on-air recognition for our wonderful sponsors? Once we finally GET on the air, we're going to be here for a long time--and there may be a FEW holdouts around town who don't start listening right away.

So, for our most generous contributors, we're offering the rewards of Three or SIX months of on-air acknowledgments. Eight mentions of your name, your business's name, your best friend's name (with or without their embarrassing nickname), your favorite teacher's name... during the weekly 2 hour show of your choice. That's the best PR deal in town!

Shoot, I wish I could sign up for that--but since I'm the Kickstart account holder, Amazon won't let me send money to "myself." All you Salem and Valley businesses, think about your PR budget--you know this is too good to pass up!
