Tell us about your experience with radio. What specifically have you done? What kind of results have you gotten? What has the process been like?
Our experience with radio began after attending the Brandsformation™ Seminar. After this, we were able to create a strategy for our advertisements. In addition to our radio schedule, we have been a part of several promotions that have allowed us to further showcase our business. Zimmer Radio & Marketing Group has made the process fun and easy for us!
What is one thing you misunderstood before, or how has your opinion changed in regards to radio advertising?
Initially, we misunderstood the amount of time it takes to build a brand. We have learned that we must consistently advertise our message over a period of time in order to create brand recognition within the community.
What is one piece of advice you would give to other marketers who are planning to, or are thinking about, using radio for their business?
It's worth it! Even if you don't see immediate results, keep with it, because you will. My account executive was very transparent and reassured me that we would experience quality results from our radio advertisements. She was right!
