Anybody used local radio for advertising?

Which station millsy, Pirate FM?

Most advertising channels seem to work better through repetitive use. You may find that it take 3-4 months before it starts to really work. I also think radio advertising is very dependant on the ad itself being clear and catchy. I've been paying a lot of attention to radio advert as I'm looking at it myself. some just go in one ear and out the other, some really grab your attention.

Yeah pirate fm. But that is only for west cornwall. East cornwall is cheaper or you can do both for 8k!

That's what I thought about it taking a few months for it to start to pay back so I couldn't afford to stand 7-12k before it kicks off properly.

Where's that from then, St Austell down?

Seems expensive but then the Cornish like their independence so I would imagine a high percentage listen to that station as opposed to the nationals.

did you ask about bulk booking, sometime the price comes right down with an 6-8 month campaign.

Yeah st Austell down.

I never did ask about bulk booking but I think even then it won't be worth it especially if it is 5k a month normally.

That sounds more like a DFS sale tactic to me, the sale that never ends. I'd be surprised if they ever sold it at that price. Did you speak with a Cornish accent? You'll probably get 25% off just for that!

The prices they advertise on the radio cant see it covering the cost . However it seems to get them work .
