No-bama Nozzles and Red Hats: Compeau's Humorous Advertising Approach

STAND with Kelly and Niki Tshibaka

Can a small business thrive amidst political turbulence and economic challenges? Join us as we unpack this question with Craig Campo, a third-generation Alaskan and the creative force behind Campo's power sports dealership in Fairbanks. Craig shares his unique experiences navigating the shifts from the Trump administration to Biden's, revealing how the power sports industry experienced an unexpected boom during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ll explore how he adapted to inflation and rising interest rates under Biden's tenure, and learn about his ingenious marketing strategies, including his humorous "No-bama nozzle" ad campaign that cleverly pokes fun at government regulations while driving sales.
In the second segment, we bring you the inspiring story of Kreiner's Diner in Anchorage, Alaska, a business that bravely defied extreme lockdown measures to stay open despite facing hefty fines. This chapter celebrates the resilience and courage of business owners who stand their ground, highlighting the indispensable role of community support. By drawing parallels between the diner’s determination and Craig's innovative advertising, we underscore the unyielding spirit of American entrepreneurs. Tune in to discover how creativity and community solidarity can triumph even in the most challenging circumstances.
