Make stuff, make money!
Looking for ideas to grow your station's brand, listener awareness, volunteer recruitment and bring in some cash? We'll discuss affordable methods for grassroots marketing, how to sell cool merchandise, put on attention grabbing events, and unconventional community engagement strategies. Lisa Kettle and Will Floyd from Prometheus will share anecdotes from their years of experience in community radio. Participants will be welcomed to share about their stations and engage in a lively discussion.
