CALENDAR2 019 OF EVENTS HOW TO USE MEDIA GROUP ONLINE’S ANNUAL CALENDAR OF EVENTS

The Annual Calendar of Events is found in the Special Reports and Broadcast Planning Sections of the Media Group Online Website.

This calendar provides a list of holidays and other designated special-event occasions, which can be used to pursue new advertising revenue opportunities.

Within each month’s listing, you will find three classifications of events: monthlong, weeklong and designated days. Some events are national in scope while others are more local.

To receive the maximum benefit from the Annual Calendar of Events, we suggest the following:

• Schedule a staff meeting to discuss those special events that are two to three months in the future. Allow everyone to contribute ideas as to what events might serve as catalysts for revenue-generating station promotions. Determine which advertisers would be the prime prospects for these special promotions. Assign one person to guide these promotions from inception to fruition.

• Instruct each member of your sales staff to select one event each month he or she thinks is the best opportunity to achieve added sales revenue. Ask for suggestions about how the event should be announced, implemented and assessed for results. Again, assign one salesperson to manage the promotion from beginning to end.

• Use the calendar to prepare a list of community-event opportunities for your station to sponsor. Hosting a local event, such as the “KXXX-TV Have-A-Heart Walk” not only shows your support for the community, but also generates publicity for your station.

• Look for events that could help your salespeople make connections with unique or small businesses. For example, National Bagel Day (15th) and National Croissant Day (30th) occur during January, which are excellent for a local bakery to promote itself.

• Explore the calendar for events that are related to a theme. June and July are Fireworks Safety Month, so record and post a video from a local accident/fire prevention specialist. September is Hunger Action Month. Find advertisers who would like to help promote/support local food pantries.

• Share this calendar with your programming department. Various events can serve as sources of potential talk-show subjects. Schedule a segment with a veterinarian or other expert during National Dog Bite Prevention Week (April 14–20).

• Programming can also look for opportunities to run a series retrospective or special program marathon by searching for special events related to a specific program. For example, March 2019 is the 55th anniversary of the premiere of “Jeopardy” and November 2019 is the 50th anniversary of “Sesame Street.” Generate events to support these classic programs and others.

• Assign one person to keep track of the details and the outcome of each event from the Annual Calendar of Events. Create success stories of how you helped various categories of advertisers gain traffic and/or added revenue, and then share these stories with advertisers in other categories, so they can benefit from the sponsorship of a special event.
