Valentine’s-Themed Ballot

The season of Valentine’s Day always brings a boost the bridal industry. Many advertisers are looking for a creative way to highlight their products or services, identify qualified leads, and learn about their consumers. A voting ballot can be the perfect option to keep users engaged and coming back.

WMEE-FM pitched a clever “Favorite Wedding Ring” ballot to their sponsor – a local jeweler. The sponsor was interested in letting people know about their engagement and wedding ring specials. They was able to gather a list of hundreds of qualified leads to email about their upcoming Bridal Extravaganza.

Valentine’s Day-Themed Bracket

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to feature romantic movies, TV couples, or local date spots with a bracket. WDIV-TV ran a romantic comedy bracket asking their viewers to vote for their favorite movies across several matchups. As the bracket progressed, users came back each round to vote for their favorites. This produced great repeat traffic and generated fun content the station could use on-air and online.
