Ashworth Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I don't really know what I'm doing... just kinda making things up as I go. And I wanted to share... I just received 100 QSL cards from an online print-shop. They turned out great. Donations of $5 receive a QSL card. I've already sent two out (I only just started broadcasting a few days ago, but my friends are awesome people ). My paypal return-page thanks the listener for their support and reminds them to like the station on facebook. It also invites them to post a picture of themselves with their QSL card I've noticed that life only grants me one good idea a week, so if you've got something I could use, please share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKIye Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Interesting idea, for reason that most of Us don't know the person and receiver of the stream Even after more than 3 decades into radio & media I'm not familiar with QSL cards My 2 cents : It can be also a good idea to ask listeners to send their photo to the stations account That way, We should know to who We are talking Thanks Ashworth for the input !

saint Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Years and years ago, QSL cards for shortwave radio stations were all the rage. I have a few I got from behind the Iron Curtain that are definitely a collectors item now. That being said - you could adapt the QSL card idea into a QSL certificate. Make it a 8 x 12 diploma style with nice graphics and verbage. You could have the things printed on heavy stock paper at a local print shop for relatively cheap and ask for a bit more money. OR Something I just thought of - you could create a "stock" certificate, ask for a small donation and send the listener the stock certificate. The certificate could say that the recipient is a proud member of a select listener group and financial contributor - something along those lines. Some old stock certificate are worth more as art than they were worth originally as stock.

saint Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Some really great pictures of old stock certificates, I think i might be on to something :D https://www.google.com/search?q=antique+stock+certificate+pictures&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=OWGhUaWIEZDQ8wTXwIHIDA&ved=0CEgQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=591 Relaxing Entertainment For The World - - www.ScenicRadio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Something else to add to the stock certificate approach - you could make different levels of " monetary value " - with each denomination uniquely different.
