buzz95 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Actually I was looking for places to go buy advertising.adwords have not done much yet, you do have good ideas like signatures etc but that is i feel geared for smaller stations.We are aimed at a much bigger market.Our goal is to compete with Digitally Imported (di.fm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 well what have di.fm done to advertise? Its a harsh world but if they are getting more listeners.. use their way of advertising!

spot Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Until now, the only advertising we have done is by promoting our station on Facebook, and it worked miracles for us. Now we are going to create a profile in myspace too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Just been thinking, have you tried getting into local services? Like asking to be interviewed of your station or maybe getting some people you know famously to interview?

James Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thats a bit of spam (not here) but blogging wise.. You can get your blog deleted by that. Youd be better installing wordpress on your site and having a full function blog! Or use the one on myspace (which will give more attention) Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz95 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 locally just is not an option since we are in the states and techno and trance listens come from europe.We are looking into printed magazine but damn that aint cheap.We tried google adwords, starting with $100 monthly budget and have not got a single hit yet.Googles response to this is just to increase our budget.We really did not want to spend $1000 right off the bat because you never know which advertising perspective will help your station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Best to start off small. Buzz95, i recommend an avatar with your stations logo or something. Also adding a signature. That will give you traffic! Feel free to PM me and i can set your profile up!

WayneOwens Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 One option I can give you, is to go out in your local community and see what businesses fit into your demo area. If you aren't sure what I mean by demo, it's short for demographic, so if you target the 18-30 year old male and female audience, you could try restaurants, bars, clubs, the whole works is there for you. I had an advertiser a couple months back who gave me $100 to do a months worth of ads, plus come and do a LIVE EVENT from his business, and it worked out quite well, we had peak listenership with that event. We also do live programming like Simulated Race broadcasts, with actually race leagues like Dale Earnhardt Jr's league, DMP, and it gets good results just because of the name behind the league. To finish off this post, we even did an event last year and if our budget can grant it we'll do it again this year, we traveled about 45 miles from bour studios and did a live 2 day go kart event that netted about $300 profit, so if you find the right people in the right places, you can get places, and I have found it especially useful to target your local area, as some internet stations are going as local as possible. So all I can say is to do the best job you can, and you might just wind up with some great contacts and advertisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Ely Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Sometimes it can be hard but you could start trying to introduce new programs or similar. I experienced a station that put on a news program where listeners spoke with the presenter about what they think and then focus groups and community events. I know this may be hard but even this can be done pre-recorded. Many Thanks Benjamin Ely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
