Applebee's

The Applebee's in our area recently went through a facelift (new window coverings, new sign, etc.).  I went in to see the manager but was informed that I would have to speak to the Marketing Director in another city.  I have called... and called... and called.  No reply.  The main office is 3 hours away.  I'm thinking about mailing a "media kit" but I want it to stand out so I can move forward with this.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Or a different way to go about this?Thanks!See More

I'm presuming that TV ads are getting cheaper across the board.  It used to be more expensive to run TV vs. radio but that's not the case anymore.  A few months ago, it was only cable tv that was cheaper but now it's network tv.  Is anyone else having any problems with overcoming objections on radio cost or is it even an issue in your market?  Or are most radio stations trying to compete with tv pricing and getting lower rates than before? One client told me "you know you're more expensive than…See More
