Thank you for accepting me into this group. My name is Roxana Montoya Hill and I am the new Sales Manager for VALENTINE RADIO in Valentine, Texas. We are a small market radio station. I am new to radio sales, and I would like to know if anyone can point me in the right direction in regards to Dollar General and/or Family Dollar. I have contacted their corporate office many times, and I have been directed to someone's voicemail, but never get a call back. I have also emailed them in regards to radio advertising, but they have not responded.
For any of you radio sales veterans, are there any tips or pointers you can provide in order to help me reach out to someone? I am sure they would love to be advertised in a small market station.
Thank you!!!

Among the questions received most often by the Radio Advertising Bureau is: Does radio drive online behavior, and specifically, search activity? Based on the findings of a new research report, the answer is a resounding “yes!” The study, conducted by the RAB in conjunction with research/consultancy organizations Sequent Partners, Media Monitors and In4mation Insights, revealed that radio generated a 29% lift in Google search activity across six different business categories – Automotive, E-commerce, Insurance, Auto Aftermarket, Jewelry and Wireless Communications. The report was based on an analysis of more than 2,100 local radio ads. “We already know that radio delivers a strong return on an advertisers’ investments,” said Erica Farber, RAB President and CEO. “Now we know it drives search results across a number of advertising categories in addition ... less

Unfortunately, KANA is now for sale which is a shame because they operated a non-profit through their station giving kids with disabilities and disadvantages a chance to work there.

We don't do an on-air promotion with it - but maybe you could springboard from this idea and create something from it?
Every Halloween - the dental office holds a "one day buy back" - where they buy Halloween Candy back at $1 per pound - then they ship the Candy to Canadian Troops via UPS. Not sure of the approval you would need to get? to make this happen but thought i'd share the idea with you.
They also have a "smile certificate" program they do with families for good brushing habits with kids - maybe another idea you could springboard from? I.E. listeners can post pics of kids brushing their teeth (and hashtag the dentist and the station) to be entered to win a new bike? backed up by an on-air schedule of course
Anyways, here is the link to our local... less

Earlier this week, we posted a request from a station on St. Maarten, trying to rebuild after the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma. (On St. Thomas, WSTA-AM was the only station still on the air; they, too, report significant damage.) With hurricanes, flooding, earthquakes, and other natural disasters in the news recently, we wondered how many of our members' stations have faced a similar threat.
So, our Friday Poll question: What's the worst disaster your station has faced, and how did you deal with it?

NO WAY YOU COULD DUPLICATE THIS IN VIDEO OR PRINT.
One of my very favorite advertising campaigns of all time has to do with horse racing.
And life, laughter, and modern culture.
