Broadcast Advertising
Broadcast advertising has clearly taken some hits over the past couple of decades. The number of consumers who tune-in to local TV and radio has plummeted, and the industry has struggled to regain its footing. However, it would be a mistake to discount broadcast advertising entirely. Many fishing bait and tackle businesses continue to find ways to attract audiences to their brand through broadcast media.

One area in which marketers continue to have success is during drive times when large numbers of listeners still tune-in to local radio. When broadcast strategies are applied to fishing bait and tackle businesses, the target audience is almost always local or regional. For broader reach, you'll likely need to look beyond broadcast venues and explore other online and offline marketing vehicles.

Although you might be convinced that a new strategy will give your company an edge, it's reassuring to consult with a professional marketer before you go too far down the road.
