Every year at this time, I get to do something extra special—and thoroughly enjoyable, as Don Frei, co-owner of Howard Hughes Appliance, Television, and Sleep Shop, and I collaborate on creating radio commercials that play just one day a year.
April 1st.
Their purpose is simply to bring a smile, maybe even a chuckle, to their friends and customers.
This year, we drafted Dana, intrepid service technician, and Don’s daughter (and partner in the business), Melissa, to record a couple of these spots.
Here, for your enjoyment, are Howard Hughes’ special April 1st commercials, starting with the three we just finished for this year.
