Do you know why it’s important to be consistent with your radio advertising?

Because not everyone is ready to buy what you sell at the exact moment you’re running your ads.

Consumers evolve into the “ready to buy” phase whenever their own stars align. You can’t predict it. Especially if you don’t sell something that’s seasonal.

So… all of those people become ready to buy, basically, at random. WAVE after WAVE. Which is exactly why you need to be consistent with your advertising. Your potential new customers shift into buying mode like the endless crashing of the waves on the beach.

But before that “wave” hits shore, it’s rolling along in preparation.

People go through different shopping phases, possibly for months and even years, before they make a final decision to buy. If it’s something other than food or gas.  This is exactly why consistently whispering your story into their ears on the radio during all those pre-purchase thought phases, research phases, etc., is such a great marketing tactic.

It’s a marketing tactic that is making a lot of our clients here at Results Radio grateful for being taught how to make local marketing and advertising actually work. Of course, there are some ultra-secret elements to getting results for our radio customers. Just kidding. I’ll tell you if you ask. There are about 2 other keys to making your advertising work like gangbusters (along with some other variables within your own business).

Here’s a rough formula for you…

Consistent Radio Ad Schedule + Strategic Advertising Copy / Creative =

When you’re ready to stop shooting from the hip with your local marketing efforts, let me know. I’d love to sit down and discuss your options with you.

But remember something Chuck McKay said in Fishing For Customers and Reeling Them In…

“Marketing is not an event, it’s a process.”  And that process, I believe, has a lot to do with the unpredictability of when people buy things. WAVE AFTER WAVE, people become ready to buy. Tell your story consistently… and I guarantee, you’ll be catching more waves than most of your competition.
