Using Creative To Get Broadcast Back On The Radar – Part 7 – Q&A

LBS Creative Expert, Tim Burt, takes LIVE broadcaster questions! In this session:

  • Would it be good to first increase the price of the product/service and then offer a discount and use the scarcity approach? Maybe this would help get customers to buy a secondary product/service as well?
  • Do you suggest that the client create the hidden page or do we?
  • Given your background, I’d like to know your thoughts as to what areas you think radio sellers need to do a better job in capturing information during customer needs assessments.

Using Creative To Get Broadcast Back On The Radar – Part 6 – Q&A

LBS Creative Expert, Tim Burt, takes LIVE broadcaster questions! In this session:

  • Help those of us in public radio frame this approach for promotions/sponsorships when we can do everything you mention except the call to action.
  • How do you sell this idea for inventory-driven clients to slash their profit margin when demand outweighs supply and inventory is lagging behind?

  • We have just started our Facebook and websites so we don’t have many followers. Would this still work?
  • Should the “combo platter” ad be dry – with no music bed?

Using Creative To Get Broadcast Back On The Radar – Part 5 – Q&A

LBS Creative Expert, Tim Burt, takes LIVE broadcaster questions! In this session:

  • Are advertiser testimonials still effective?  If so, how many should we have to show to prospects?
  • What if my client’s idea of a good offer is really bad?
  • I like your formula for creating offers.  Do you have an idea that can catch a solar company for a TV station?  They already do door to door sales and lots of direct mail, so I know they have a big budget!
  • How would you respond to a customer who doesn’t like doing offers/discounts because this only generates cheap customers that buy on price and will not become profitable or loyal?
