Business Marketing Advice
Marketing a Radio and Audio Advertising Business
A profitable radio and audio advertising business is about more than supply and demand. It's about designing ways to entice new customers to engage with your products and to encourage existing customers to increase the frequency of their purchases.
A high-quality marketing plan connects your company to your customers. Without it, you'll quickly find your radio and audio advertising business isolated from your base.
Common sense and practical decision making are part of the marketing equation. But to rise to the top of the industry, you'll need to gain a deeper understanding of the strategies that other radio and audio advertising businesses utilize in the marketplace.
Improving Customer Loyalty
You've heard that it's less expensive to retain a current customer than it is to acquire a new one, right? For radio and audio advertising businesses, sorted and updated mailing lists obtained from top-tier providers are effective tools for customer acquisition. However, customer acquisition will only get you so far. To achieve revenue growth, you'll need to combine customer acquisition channels with strategies and mechanisms designed to transform new customers into followers and hopefully, brand advocates.
Competitive Awareness
Competitive awareness is the starting point for creativity in marketing. We appreciate innovative tactics. But when innovation causes you to abandon message streams that are trafficked by similar radio and audio advertising businesses, there's a good chance that you're missing something. At a minimum, we recommend seeking a third-party perspective before you adopt any innovations that dramatically alter your marketing model.
Viral Marketing
Viral marketing is one of the most elusive marketing techniques in a small business owner's arsenal. When you're marketing a radio and audio advertising business, you ultimately have to cross your fingers and hope for the best. Although you have little control over whether or not your products go viral, there are things you can do to nurture your brand's viral capacity. Social media and other online vehicles can seed a viral marketing campaign, but you'll need to nurture their development through direct customer interaction as well as other techniques.
