			<title>Radio Advertising Insights: Ford Study/Panel Discussion On Consumer Optimism And Trust</title>
			<description>&lt;p &gt;A recent MediaPost article discussed a new study by Ford Motor Company about the current state of consumer optimism as we head into 2013. &amp;nbsp;The study, presented by Sheryl Connelly, the global consumer trends and futuring analyst at Ford Motor, at Thursday's Ford-sponsored New York conference on 2013 consumer trends, revealed that optimism is growing, especially in the 20-30 year old demographic. &amp;nbsp;At a panel discussion, it was discussed that people are tired of brands not behaving in the best interest of the consumer. &amp;nbsp;A big issue is trust, and as trust increases so does brand equity. &amp;nbsp;Consumers want a reason to believe in brands and brands must live up to those promises. This is an opportunity for companies to tell consumers &quot; we are here for you&quot; and then back it up with their actions. &amp;nbsp;According to the article, &quot;To achieve trust equity functionally, the &quot;front&quot; of a company -- its brand, communications, what it claims to be -- must match the back, the invisible side, where it does what it actually does. The issue, noted Connelly, isn't that a company can't make mistakes, but that if it does, it needs to be straight about what went wrong, and if it doesn't know what went wrong, it should say that too. &quot;People want sincerity. The assumption is it's never perfect, but you are supposed to make good.&quot; (MediaPost, 2012). &amp;nbsp;Connelly follows up stating&amp;nbsp;&quot;Consumers' tolerance for imperfection is correlated to what's in it for them.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p &gt;What does this mean for you? &amp;nbsp;It means that your radio advertising, social media marketing, and every other marketing touch point must be backed up with meaningful action. &amp;nbsp;Talk is cheap. &amp;nbsp;Show consumers that you really value them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;To read the full article, visit:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/188660/ford-report-finds-opportunities-in-social-shifting.html#ixzz2ENKiPofx&quot; &gt;http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/188660/ford-report-finds-opportunities-in-social-shifting.html#ixzz2ENKiPofx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p &gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p &gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.radioloungeusa.com/attachments/wysiwyg/3/Bruce2007-125Pixel.jpg&quot; width=&quot;50&quot; height=&quot;50&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot;M.

			<title>Radio Advertising : This Month&#8230;Building The Brand</title>
			<description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; &gt;&lt;span &gt;One of the biggest strengths of radio advertising is the
power to build brands.&amp;nbsp; Even with the
astronomical growth of social media and various other communications platforms,
radio continues to reach nearly 90% of consumers on a nearly daily basis*.&amp;nbsp; This month, we will be focusing on how your
business can build brands with radio advertising.&amp;nbsp; Over the next few weeks, we will provide you
with quick reads that you can immediately apply to your radio
marketing campaigns &#8211; helping you build awareness, while &amp;nbsp;claiming that
special piece of &amp;nbsp;real estate in the hearts and minds of your customers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; &gt;&lt;span &gt;Radio advertising builds brands by being&#8230;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visible&lt;/strong&gt;: &amp;nbsp;As we
mentioned before, even though social media gets the lion&#8217;s share of marketing
press these days, don&#8217;t forget that over 90% of consumers still listen to the
radio on a nearly daily basis.&amp;nbsp; Most of
this listen occurs during commutes to and from work or school. Advertising on
the radio is still a great means of reaching clients.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fashionable&lt;/strong&gt;: Huh? What does fashion and radio advertising
have to do with each other? Your clothes make a statement.&amp;nbsp; They are a reflection of who you are.&amp;nbsp; Your radio commercial creates an image. The
production value, copywriting, voice talent, etc. come together to deliver the
message, BUT the style and delivery reflect on your image as a business.&amp;nbsp; Are you buttoned up and serious? Quirky and
funky? &amp;nbsp;(This is why it is really
important to find the right company to help you with your radio marketing
campaign&#8230;shameless plug).&amp;nbsp; Think of your
radio commercial in the same way you think of your outfit.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conversational:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;I
was told the other day that brand communication was no longer a one-way street, and that
radio is no longer a viable model (because it is not a two way
communication platform) &amp;nbsp;I understand the thought behind the statement, however that short changes the power of a good radio
campaign.&amp;nbsp; Radio (and television) make be
technologically one directional, however a good marketing strategy combines the
power of these different media.&amp;nbsp; A solid
radio advertising campaign gets people thinking and talking spills over into
two-way conversations on blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. &amp;nbsp;Use the awareness (and the 90% reach) to stir
emotions, then engage in dialogue.&amp;nbsp; Comment&#8230;respond&#8230;continue
the dialogue.&amp;nbsp; The campaign has to be
good though, or else it simply reinforces this idea that radio exists in its

			<title>Radio Advertising Thoughts: Tying Traditional and Social Media Together</title>
			<description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/3/Image/A-RADIOLOUNGE Logo-Small.jpg&quot; width=&quot;75&quot; height=&quot;43&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot;Radio Advertising Agency - Radio Lounge&quot; /&gt;The death of traditional media won&#8217;t happen on May 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;,
2011, even if the world comes to an abrupt end, (and that is highly
unlikely).&amp;nbsp; The death of traditional media will happen when every ad
person forgets that one media platform builds on another, and another, and
another.&amp;nbsp; Some of the biggest and best social media success stories have
been built on the &amp;nbsp;traditional media platform.&amp;nbsp; Gary Vaynerchuk, in
his book &#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0061914185/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=jobjamz-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=217145&amp;amp;creative=399349&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0061914185&quot;&gt;The Thank You Economy&lt;/a&gt;&#8221;, gives great examples of how traditional and
social can benefit the outcome, and how one advertiser missed an opportunity to
turn a free product giveaway into a goldmine of customer love.&amp;nbsp; Denny&#8217;s
created a date with their consumer base during the 2010 Super Bowl, inviting
viewers to drop by for a free Grand Slam Breakfast.&amp;nbsp; Great spots, but Vaynerchuk
says, why didn&#8217;t they tie in a Facebook aspect.&amp;nbsp; Instead of just giving
away a&amp;nbsp; bunch of high calorie, artery clogging, but so tasty breakfasts,
they could have as Gary puts is, &#8220;extended the conversation&#8221; with an offer for
a free OJ in exchange for a ton of usable marketing material.&amp;nbsp; Traditional
media is not going away anytime soon.&amp;nbsp; It will take agencies and

			<itunes:subtitle>Radio Advertising Thoughts: Tying Traditional and Social Media Together</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:summary>The death of traditional media won&#8217;t happen on May 21st,
2011, even if the world comes to an abrupt end, (and that is highly
unlikely).  The death of traditional media will happen when every ad
person forgets that one media platform builds on another, and another, and
another.  Some of the biggest and best social media success stories have
been built on the  traditional media platform.  Gary Vaynerchuk, in
his book &#8220;The Thank You Economy&#8221;, gives great examples of how traditional and
social can benefit the outcome, and how one advertiser missed an opportunity to
turn a free product giveaway into a goldmine of customer love.  Denny&#8217;s
created a date with their consumer base during the 2010 Super Bowl, inviting
viewers to drop by for a free Grand Slam Breakfast.  Great spots, but Vaynerchuk
says, why didn&#8217;t they tie in a Facebook aspect.  Instead of just giving
away a  bunch of high calorie, artery clogging, but so tasty breakfasts,
they could have as Gary puts is, &#8220;extended the conversation&#8221; with an offer for
a free OJ in exchange for a ton of usable marketing material.  Traditional
media is not going away anytime soon.  It will take agencies and
advertisers that are smart enough to recognize that brand engagement is the
way.

			<title>Radio Advertising : Multi-Station Discount</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;
	As a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.radioloungeusa.com/media_buying_direct_response_radio_advertising/&quot;&gt;media buyer for radio advertising&lt;/a&gt;, one must always be on the lookout for good deals when it comes to buying radio airtime.&amp;nbsp; Over the next few months, I will share some of the secrets to getting great radio advertising rates and negotiating the best schedule possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	Right now, I want to focus on something quite basic yet powerful when media buying time comes around - look for multi-station discounts.&amp;nbsp; Multi-station buys are not just common nowaday, they have become almost the norm in this age of media consolidation.&amp;nbsp; Station clusters may have two, three...up to eight stations in one market.&amp;nbsp; Station management are usually trying to use the &amp;quot;cash-cow&amp;quot; station to drive sales on other stations within their cluster.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	With that said...It is a commonly known fact that purchasing in volume helps lower prices. The same holds true for number of stations.&amp;nbsp; If station KXXX is offering $300 per spot and KYYY is offering $300 per spot, and both are reaching effective segments of your potential customer (and both are owned by the same radio group), make a deal!&amp;nbsp; For example, tell the station rep that you will increase your radio advertising expenditure (i.e. spend more money) with the group but will pay $200 per spot for KXXX and KYYY as a combo (or maybe even less if the media buyer has a figure in mind). More than likely the answer will be &amp;quot;OK!&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp; You just cut your per spot rate by 33%.&amp;nbsp; And that&#39;s just one way to make the most of your radio advertising dollar.&amp;nbsp; A savvy media buyer will use many methods of negotiation to whittle down radio advertising rates to maximize a client&#39;s budget.&lt;/div&gt;

	What radio stations should I run my advertising on?
 
	 
 
	A very common question heard here at Radio Lounge.  One of the biggest strengths of radio advertising is that radio is a very targeted medium.  Radio stations program content based upon their format.  Different formats target different demographics.  Want to reach women ages 35-44? An adult contemporary format might be your best choice.  Men 18-34?  Maybe sports talk or alternative rock stations would work best.  Every radio station has a &quot;sweet spot&quot;.  This sweet spot is going to be the strongest demographic segment based upon Arbitron ratings.  This is why it is very important to know your customer.  What are their ages, income levels, hobbies, etc?  This will allow you to fine tune your radio advertising efforts to reach the highest percentage of potential customers for the least amount of money.  Once you have defined your best station matches, it will be time to determine cost efficiencies...
