Mike Stewart Podcast Mike Stewart Podcast

This is a rebroadcast of an show from my main podcast, http://PestControlMarketingPodcast.com

But even though, we say Pest Control, it applies to all local businesses and I felt it needed to be shared on my podcast here.

Here is post content from Pest Control Marketing Podcast with Hal Coleman and Mike Stewart

In this episode, Hal and Mike were reminded of their meeting in 1979 when Hal was singing Willie Nelson sound alike recording sessions, Mike was recording syndicated bank jingles for our mentor Larry Latimer (Listen to this episode about Larry)

At the workshop in Atlanta, NextLevelPCOMarketing.com, Mike told the story how he met Hal doing jingles in the 80’s. Erik Gardner of VolPest.com, our coaching client and attendee at the workshop, asked us at breakfast the next morning, did we still create jingles, because he wanted one! It reminded us jingles are alive and thriving on radio, TV, YouTube, Facebook and Spotify, online and offline audio marketing! So we made him a jingle that he loved this week! But you gotta listen to the podcast to hear it. But the jingles we mentioned we can’t legally put in the podcast, but we can share the YouTube videos below. (Oh, BTW scroll down and hear Hal sing like old Willie!)

Enjoy the story and wisdom of Larry Latimer once again.

Coming soon will be from Mike and Hal http://PestControlMarketingJingles.com

We talked about these jingles in our podcast:

The jingle Erik said that runs in Chattanoonga that he could not get his phone number out of his head, why he wanted a jingle for his PCO.



The Winston Cigarette Jingle I remember as a kid. Cigarette advertising was banned in 1971, almost 50 years!



 

Hal mention the Pink Plumber.. Audio logo to Google the business, click the link and easy to remember phone number.



Hal mentioned Cook’s Pest Control.. This jingle has been on radio before the online world existed. Why you should bring offline and online together!



Hal wrote song, sang the Willie part, and Mike did the 1st demo. It was #1 for Jerry Reed. Not bad for Mr Online and Mr. Offline.



 

Listen to audio above or watch video below, Merry Christmas!!

Here is my annual Christmas Music Video. I recorded and played all the music, narrated one of my favorite Christmas poems. Enjoy and have a great holiday where ever you are! Mike and Susan Stewart









































A Visit from St. Nicholas





By Clement Clarke Moore







‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds;

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,

Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,

When what to my wondering eyes did appear,

But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,

With a little old driver so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:

“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;

So up to the housetop the coursers they flew

With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.

His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly

That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
