What can I say… I’m probably one of the strongest critics of radio commercials. The fact that I create them for a living, makes me a bit of a “dork” when it comes to listening to the radio. Constantly talking to it, criticizing it, praising it and all around over analyzing everything I hear. I probably sound like my father when we are watching an NFL game, except I’m yelling at another debt relief radio commercial.
What is really driving me nuts these days… Similarity. Lack of creativity. BLA-NESS. Read More »

It’s a simple question really. When you make decisions about your business: Are you basing those decisions on what you see ahead of you and where you want to go? Or are you making your decisions based on what you’ve seen in the mirror and the past?

More than once I’ve been contacted by an otherwise very savvy business person making the statement “radio advertising just didn’t work for me.” This statement troubles me… because it’s been proven time and time again that radio, when used correctly, can be the most effective medium for driving customers to a business.
Think about it – what other medium is on in cars, in businesses, on in the kitchen when someone is making dinner, played loudly at a back yard bbq, and a slew of other times and places. Despite other mediums of entertainment evolving over the years, radio is still one of the leaders… How is it “not working” for someone? Read More »

It is the question that I get asked more than 20 times each day. The answer is really quite simple… how much exposure do you want? No radio advertising campaign is alike.
A local grocer may spend 2k per month on a local advertising campaign while the car dealership in the same city may spend 10k per month on an advertising campaign on the very same station. The car dealerships commercials will air more frequently and in-turn gain more exposure than the grocery store, but the grocery store is still getting solid exposure.
Radio obviously works. If it didn’t, Read More »

I got tons of positive feedback and to make this marketing resource even more helpful, I added 10 additional great radio ads.
There are now over 25 radio commercials to listen to on the page to help you jump start your own radio advertising campaign. Take a listen and let me know which ones you think should stay on this page, which should be removed and what others you’ve heard that should be added.

I received the following two questions last week about the Best Radio Ads I posted.
1. “I love the page of radio ads you posted at MarketingForSuccess. I found one that works perfectly for my business. Can I use it or is it copyrighted?”
Yes radio ads are covered by copyright law and you can’t just “borrow” them to use for your own use. I added them to the site to provide you with ideas and inspiration for your marketing. Just because you can’t actually view the copyright doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The writers and producers went to a lot of effort to come up with just the right marketing copy and idea to get your attention and keep it. Learn from what they created but be careful not to violate copyright law.
2. “Remeber many, many years ago when Chevy ran the “Heart Beat of America” ads? They spent 60 million on it. People loved it, they were singing the jingle all of the time. Chevy lost major market share during that promotion. As I remember it was 8%. How do you know which ads are the best?”
The only way to tell if any ad works, web print or radio is to test it. Run the ad for a limited number or days and see if it generates leads and sales. If it pulls in prospects you know you’ve got a winner and you may want to run it more widely.
If if hardly generates any response, it’s a bad idea to keep spending on it or spend even more.
Of course to make the sale you need to have a product that people want. Even the best ad only works to generate interest, it can’t close the sale.
