Summary: <p>Nobody, and I mean nobody’s doing radio ads, and that means it’s a perfect medium for advertising. But there are some misconceptions about radio ads, like the costs or where the audience is really hanging out. Chris Arnold from Wholesaling Inc lays out those misconceptions and the truths about them, and he even includes some of his advice that he gives his own coaching clients.<br> <br>First and most importantly, you are not your demographic! When you’re advertising, you have to think about where your demographic is, and if they’re over 50, they’re not on Spotify. Chris reverse engineers the three demographics on radio and then explains how to target them.<br> <br>I have a local friend that I heard on the radio, and he was so over the top excited that I barely recognized him! But Chris assures me that enthusiasm and local personalities are great selling points for listeners. Becoming that local celebrity and having people recognize your voice builds your credibility and authority, and you become the first person they think of when they want to sell that apartment building that’s been giving them constant headaches.<br> <br>Chris shares some of his blueprint for making great and effective radio ads, and how to identify what your audience wants. He coaches his clients through their ads so that they’re successful for them, and he breaks down just how cheap your advertising costs can get in this marketing channel.<br> <br>Radio yields lower call volume, but with higher quality leads, which is the exact opposite of the spam-like direct mail approach. Chris’s team also feels proud of their radio ads because they don’t make them feel sleazy. And he uses a vanity phone number for every market he’s in so that it’s easy to remember (super important for radio ads!), and so he can tell which ads are working in which market.<br> <br>Chris works with a lot of coaching clients helping them create radio ads that work, but he does not want to saturate the market with radio ads. So he only works with a limited number of people in each market.
