How to Level Up Listener Engagement with Our Free Online Trivia Tool
How to Level Up Listener Engagement with Our Free Online Trivia Tool
In today’s broadcast landscape, connecting with your audience online isn’t just a bonus – it’s essential. But let’s be real: most stations are still operating with skeleton crews, hybrid workflows, and staff wearing way too many hats. Morning show hosts are voice tracking four other markets. Sales is writing copy. Your production guy is also your web admin, IT support, and probably fixing the studio printer. In short, no one has time to launch a full-blown contesting platform that requires coding knowledge, API keys, or a monthly subscription that rivals your office electric bill.
And yet – you still need to drive people to your website.
That’s where HarborCast Media’s Free Trivia Code Tool comes in. It’s contesting made simple, smart, and strategic.
Why Online Contesting Matters More Than Ever
Let’s face it: appointment listening is fading. If your station is only relying on “caller 9” or “text to win” contests during drive times, you’re missing a huge opportunity. Today’s listener wants to engage on their time – whether they’re scrolling during lunch or multitasking at night with one AirPod in.
Online contesting extends your reach beyond the mic and lets you stay top of mind even after the dial is turned off.
But many stations don’t have a dedicated digital department – or the budget for enterprise-grade contesting software. That’s the gap we’re filling.
The Problem: Complex Platforms, Tiny Budgets
You’ve seen them – those bloated contest platforms that promise CRM integrations, social tie-ins, and campaign metrics, but require a team of engineers to set up and cost more than your remote van.
Then there’s the other end of the spectrum: DIY Google Forms and boring surveys that look like something from 2007. They’re either too much or not enough.
HarborCast Media asked: What if you just want to run a clean, compelling trivia contest without jumping through tech hoops?
