Wow, its getting hard to predict the turn out for these events, one would think that a smaller market would have a smaller turnout; Not true, over 1500 people showed up and descended like a plague of locusts cleaning us out out hats , shirts, literature and of course antennas.
Smaller crowds, but great weather, about 80 people showed up for the event on Thursday. Hosted at the station located in an office park, many people had a hard time finding the location. The station also lacks their own newscast to publicize the event. So the turnout was pretty respectable considering. WGFL has already shut […]
What a great surprise! We had a dramatic response to the Albany event. The local NBC affiliate had us out a the local Circuit City (not an Antennas Direct reseller) and spent the prior weeks promoting the event with a media blitz. They gave the event top coverage on all their newscasts, a couple of […]
We moved the show about 40 miles east to the town of Scottsboro Al. Smaller crowds this time due to the rainy and cold weather , but still about 150 people showed up. (I even received a morning call from the desk clerk of the hotel asking if she could have an antenna) The station […]
The NBC affiliate in Huntsville invited us out to the station and even had me as a guest on the Noon newscast. We gave a away about 100 antennas (mostly C1s) to area viewers. They were motivated to put powerful antennas in to the hands of their viewers as WAFF is one of the more […]
Not that we are trying to compensate for anything, but note the height of the Antennas Direct 20 Meter in relation to a typical news van. Helpful in getting signal reading in difficult or urban terrain.
Hosted agian by Schewels Furniture, in their newest store in Roanoke. A very nice store and they even gave away a new flat screen to support the event. Hundreds of people attended which was even covered live on the 5, 5:30 and 6 pm newscasts. The manager of the Schewels mentioned it was the largest […]
Chilly weather once again, luckily we were able to set up inside the Schewels Furniture,store, where there was a steady stream of people over the 5 hour event. WSLS sent a news crew to cover the event and the FCC even sent a representative from the local field office to help answer viewer questions. The […]
This trip took us to a Virginia Beach Best Buy – who’s sales of the Clearstream 2 has quadrupled in the last 60 days! It was a good opportunity to support the efforts of one of our largest dealers. Despite rain and 50 MPH wind gusts, over 500 people braved the weather for a chance […]
Wow! the crowds are getting larger and larger. On Monday we had over 1000 people show up to the event in Parkersburg WV. This is remarkable because Parkersberg is a relatively small town with a 174th ranked TV market. The Local NBC and Fox affiliate WTAP provided a great deal of support running promos for […]
Were sorry about the near riot. We have never experienced this kind of turnout for one of our events before. We had over 1000 people show up for 200 antennas. While this event was sponsored by the local PBS affiliate, WJCT, it received coverage from all the local channels, one of whom suggested that people […]
Warm weather for a change! We spent a sunny Sunday speaking with and handing out antennas to viewers of Ch2 in Charleston SC. Some folks drove as far as 70 miles to speak with WCBD engineers & management getting their questions and concerns addressed. Ch 2 will move to Ch 50, post 2009, so people […]
