Avoid a
Marketing
Meltdown!
I see it all to often... A business with a great product or service. They stretched
all their marketing dollars "testing" multiple marketing venues and still no one
knows about the product or service. They simply spread themselves too thin on
the venues of marketing, and never made the commitment to using any them
effectively. Instead of putting a focus on one or two venues of marketing, they
focused on too many with too little.

How can you avoid falling in this trap?
1. KNOW YOUR TARGET, AND FOCUS YOUR EFFORTS - And be realistic
about it. Yes, it would be great if everyone from a 12 year old kid to a 95 year
grandfather had a use for your product or service, but chances are your target
customers demographics are much more focused than that. If primarily
Women 25-54 buy from you - market to them where they are. If its Men 18-24
focus your efforts where they are. Luckily Radio is a medium that can focus on
almost any demographic and EFFECTIVELY reach them anywhere when using
stations that target your demographic.

2. BUY REALISTICALLY - Almost any form of marketing will take time for you to
see a turn around on your investment. Why? Because you have to gain peoples
attention... multiple times, before they will take action. Spending the absolute
least to "test" a form of marketing is not going to yield many results, or give you
an accurate view of a medium that if invested in correctly could greatly benefit
your business. If you can not afford to market on a specific medium - save your
money until you are able to afford to realistically test it. The old saying is true
here - "you have to spend money, to make money".

Simple rules that may be difficult to follow. We all want to spend the least
amount possible to market our businesses. But the truth is, to see real results
many times, a significant investment is needed to get adequate word out about
your products or services. When done correctly - It will yield results many times
over.
