Rich Davis, KDWB: PS5, Xbox, Apple Watches, AirPods, Echo Dots are still good gifts especially when we talk about getting the audience to stream our stations more. Frankie V, KSSX/KHTS: Staycations!! Lots of people want a “vacation” but not comfy to travel. Bartel, WKTU: Giveaway codes for virtual concerts or special events. Rick Vaughn, KENZ: Four Season’s total landscaping merchandise.
Valentine, WBHT: I think anything along the line of electronics that will keep you entertained in the house through the winter we’re about to endure. The days of giving away fun trips and concert tickets have not come back yet, not happening this winter. Kobe, WZNE: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will be big items this year. Chris Michaels, FM100: From our perspective, Smart Speakers is definitely one that we want to get in peoples’ hands, and you can never go wrong with cash around the holidays. We want stay connected with the audience during this time. |

Randi West, WRMF: Cash will be king! Drew Heyman, Y100: I’m hearing lots of handmade or homemade gift this year. It’s been so crazy. Orlando, WLLD: Definitely the PS5, many are getting their 5G on, in the phone department, and then there are creative masks. THOSE will be needed, especially down here in FLORIDA!

Jana Sutter, WXXL: CASH! All the cash! Plus, we.ve had luck with gift cards to local restaurants for take-out too! Mike “OD” O’Donnell, WKRZ: The new Xbox for sure, you can’t go wrong with electronics, and this year cash/gift cards will be great ones as well. Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: Anyone who gets a PS5 is going to be sitting on a goldmine! Other than that, it’s going to be more of the same from this year. If you can give people the basics like big grocery gift-cards, cash and essential like that, they will be bigger than any gadget or gaming device you can giveaway. Joey Brooks, WKSS: PS5 is a hot one, and any other tech devices will continue to be desirable giveaway items. Matt “MJ” Johnson, matthot1079@hotmail.com: It’s still tough out there right now, so I think any kind of gift card would be eagerly received by anyone. |
