Dear Retail Purchasing Agent:
Wouldn't you like to be a singer whose songs are
played on the radio at Christmas?
How about your customers?
Wouldn't they like to hear themselves singing on
the radio, too?
As a former morning
radio personality in Phoenix, Arizona, I have such
a dream, too. In fact, not long ago I persuaded
the famed music mogul Mr. Clive Davis of RCA Records
to listen to the CD that I made for Christmas,
2005. This was my personal Classic Christmas Carols
CD, and I gave it as a present to family,
friends and even my customers. I called it "Daddy's
Christmas Songs," and it touched
their hearts. "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and
my 4-year-old daughter's "Twinkle, Twinkle,
Little Star" were two of the songs on the CD.
See www.daddyschristmassongs.com
Inspired by my experience
of producing this CD, I've come up with an idea
that I think is a winner. I've written to the CEOs
of many of the major radio groups, suggesting that
they organize a "Karaoke Christmas on the Radio" for
2006.
Here's how it works:
the promotions department of the radio stations
will create a "Karaoke
Christmas on the Radio" festival,
and encourage listeners of all ages to send in
CDs, mp3 files, USB drives, memory sticks, and cassette
tapes, of themselves singing
classic Christmas songs for cash and/or prizes. These
will then be played at Christmas,
2006.
This is a way to reverse
the slide in listening for music radio. It's a
response to the popularity of competing mediums
like TV reality shows like "American Idol," Internet
music, mp3, Satellite radio, ipods, and so forth.
I have already started
the snowball rolling with letters to the CEO of
the largest radio groups, and now this "Karaoke Christmas on the
Radio" CD, which I can attach to email as
a mp3 file for the songs and mail the actual hard
copy of the CD later, will add further
momentum. I'm asking you to purchase and stock the
CD at your stores. It contains my
version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" as
well as my four-year-old daughter Arista singing
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
Printed on the inside
cover of the "Karaoke
Christmas on the Radio" CD I provide the
buyer with a "How to" guide to how he or
she can get their own recording of one Christmas
carol to feature as part of a "Karaoke Christmas
on the Radio" in their local city.
I am not a professional
singer or musician, but I believe there is a market
for this Christmas Carol CD as part of an upcoming "Karaoke
Christmas on the Radio" promotion.
No matter how good or bad the singing, people will
love to hear themselves, as well as
their friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers,
singing classic Christmas songs on
the radio.
People will listen for hours and hours on end if
there is a chance that they will
eventually hear themselves.
I think this a winning idea and I am equally certain
that your company can profit from it.
Who knows, maybe "Karaoke
Christmas on the Radio" may discover the next "American
Idol"!
Help give a present
of a Christmas song for "Karaoke
Christmas on the Radio."
Don't delay, buy the CDs today, so that your customers
and their families and friends can
get the chance to hear themselves singing a Christmas
song on the radio.
Given the success of
the recent novelty Christmas song "Jingle Cat" and the perennially
successful "American Idol," with its millions
of wannabe singers and viewers, this will
be a win-win for everyone.
The possibilities are endless.
I believe, sales will be in the millions, you'll
make a handsome profit and millions of
people of will get their chance to be on the radio.
What could be better than that?
