Allison Ramchuk, YMCA-YWCA Okanagan -Strong Kids Campaign Coordinator

Dear: Bob & Jazz, Steve & Heather, Sue, Troy and everyone who helps us make a difference … There is something different about your team; your not like other radio stations … you are like a family of people who come together because they love what they do and really care for the community and the people in it. You and your team are authentic with a real grassroots feel that provides comfort while delivering impeccable service.

You have all been unbelievably generous and invested in the many campaigns that we done over the years. From our annual Strong Kids Campaign, the Capital Expansion Campaign and the ever growing Spin for Kids, Power and the Q have gone over and beyond what we expected, donating and transmitting countless hours of radio time, jock talk and interviews to help us reach the homes of thousands in Kelowna.

As a charity, community partnerships with businesses that share in the belief that all kids should have the opportunity to have a place where they belong, is vital to our success. Thank you for helping the YMCA-YWCA have a positive impact on all, and especially on children and teens living in low income families and poverty, dramatically enhancing their health and overall wellbeing. Your commitment to us and your on-going support has had a lasting impact on thousands of children and families in our community.

From one of our Spin participants:
“It was really cool seeing Q103 live at the event and connecting with everyone there. It is nice to put a face to the names you hear and love on the radio, and even better to see them in action at an event that is helping so many kids in Kelowna! The crew helped take the event to the next level … looking forward to seeing them there next year!"

Thank you from everyone here at the Y … we sincerely look forward to the years to come and wish you guys all the best.

Hansen's Classic Pizza - Mark Hansen, Owner/Operator
When I opened up Hansen's Classic Pizza in Kelowna, I knew we needed to advertise, and radio was the first choice. Unfortunately, the first radio station we advertised with did not produce the results we hoped. Instead of listening to my ideas, they worked very hard to fit me into their "framework" of advertising. "You have to do this, we can't do that..." was how many of our conversations went. I swore off radio.

A few months later I was approached by the sales team at Power 104. I turned them down. They came back, and we decided to give radio one more shot.

The folks at Power listened to what I wanted, took control and came up with an ad campaign that fit my needs, and more importantly, it worked. We saw instant results from our radio ads, almost overwhelming. Every day people would come into our shop and talk about what they had heard on the radio.

The sales staff, the ad production team, and the DJ's at Power 104 have provided a great experience and exceptional service. I look forward to working with Power 104 again.

Doggytopia

I started working with Chris in January of 2011 and have since seen a very nice growth in my business. Through fresh creative commercials run on a continuous basis, Doggytopia is now a business that more and more people know about. I decided to continue marketing my business on Power 104 and Q1031 because of the results that have been delivered to my business. Since I have started I have experienced some of the busiest times during traditionally slower parts of the year. Thanks Chris for all your hard work and dedication.

The Tickle Trunk

I was aware of the attrition rate of any business, and knew that it is important to continually be reminding people of who you are and what you do. There are many options for businesses to accomplish this. I decided to work with Chris because of his passion for marketing and advice on positioning in the marketplace. I have continued marketing with Power 104 and Q1031 because the stations are hitting the demographic I want to hear my message, and they continue to go above and beyond my expectations.

I have had the pleasure of working with David Michaud over the past couple of years and he has always taken a “Customer First” approach with me, which is something I appreciate. It’s never nice to feel like someone is trying to “sell” you, which is one of the reasons I enjoy working with David. It’s always a collaborative effort to put together the right deal for me at the time. I strongly recommend David’s work. - Gord Hayes, General Manager Kelowna BMW.
