the Q103•1 Kelowna's #1 Radio Station

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

Dear Bob & Jazz, Steve & Heather, Sue, Troy and everyone who helps us make a differences … 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 leve … 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.

Q103.1 has been an integral part of our advertising and marketing. The staff at Q.103.1 listens and understand our needs. They have created ads that have helped us get our message out to the community. We continue to receive extremely positive comments and general feedback regarding the creativity of our ads. Thank you Q 013.1 for everything you do for us!

My experience with Q103.1 regarding the Fashionable Autumn Fashion show in September was great. Everyone at the station, especially Don Huculak, Troy Scott and Dan the “Dirtman” were awesome to work with.

My experience was so great that as the new Event Coordinator for Smart Betty Kelowna I strongly suggested Bruce and Deanna Maki contact Don to arrange for Q103.1 to be the radio promoter for Smart Betty, which has now led to us co-sponsoring The Parade of Lights. I would chose Q103.1 and recommend Q103.1 for anyone wishing a great station to promote with.

I was once again given the upcoming opportunity to work with Q103.1 for the upcoming Hanson concert in January through Keynote Productions & Kelowna Community Theatre. When I was told Q103.1 would be sponsoring the VIP Pre Sound Check Party I was immediately excited to have the chance to work side by side with those at Q103.1 creating this great event.

My experience with the Q was fantastic. Don and Troy made our promotion easy to execute and we had great feedback from our customers. Their demographic of listeners was exactly what we were looking to target and I would highly recommend them to any business operating in Kelowna and the surrounding area.

Wet Zone Home Leisure, Pool and Spa Testimonial- Chris Glennon, Owner
Brent has been our Marketing Representative from Power 104 and Q103.1 for over a year and a half now. Not only does he have a firm grasp on the local radio scene but I also use him as a resource for other avenues of marketing in the Central Okanagan. Working with Power 104, Q103.1 and Brent has been a great experience, and I would recommend these two quality radio stations to any business looking to talk to adults in the Money Demo.

Doggytopia Testimonial
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 Testimonial
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.

Kelowna BMW Testimonial - Gord Hayes, General Manager Kelowna BMW
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.
