			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Advertising is one of the most important ways for a business to attract new customers and raise a brand image. Large businesses tend to have in-house advertising departments which cope with creating new advertising campaigns and putting them out to the public.

<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In advertising service is a company which will create and execute advertising campaigns on behalf of other businesses.

<p>&#13;</p>
<p>· Sometimes an advertising service will offer you a type of guarantee.

<p>Newspaper advertising is one of the most common forms of <strong>print advertising</strong> which has been effective for small businesses as well as services which targets the community through readership and circulation.

&#8220;How much should I spend on radio advertising?&#8221; &#8220;How do I know I am getting the best radio advertising rates?&#8221; &#8220;What radio stations should I advertise on?&#8221; &#8220;What are good and bad radio advertising prices?&#8221; &#8220;How many spots should I air on a radio station?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Every day at Radio Lounge, we hear radio advertising questions such as these.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Honestly, there is so much confusion about radio advertising floating around – we can’t blame you for asking these questions. Why is advertising on the radio so mysterious? The answer is – radio advertising is not mysterious. It just helps to know how it works.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Effective radio advertising relies on two major components – the message (the radio commercial itself), and the media (that the radio spot airs on).</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The Message</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Let’s look first at the radio commercial itself. Before even thinking about which radio stations to air on, or how much to spend on radio advertising rates, you must think about what you are going to say in your radio ad. For this article, we are assuming that all call centers, fulfillments, websites, etc. lead generation, and sales closing processes have been put in place by you, the advertiser. Creating a radio commercial that helps drive traffic is extremely important to the advertising process.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The advertising industry is full of voice talents, radio personalities, DJ’s and others, all claiming to create radio commercials. Be careful here. When entering the arena of radio commercial production, look for a radio advertising agency that has experience and a track record of successful ad campaigns. Anyone can create a radio ad, but not everyone can create a radio ad that pulls traffic. Some radio stations provide free radio commercials if you advertise on their station. Most of these free commercials are never based on strategy and are just one of several dozen commercials that have to be created by an overworked radio production person in a five to fifteen minute window of time. Remember, you usually get what you pay for.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The most effective radio commercials are built on a solid, proven strategy. The copy is written using time tested formulas that maximize potential response. The talent is handpicked to best connect with the end user and the production is based upon clear, quality, and easy to absorb audio.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
So…what does the radio commercial production process cost? The majority of radio commercials that work best usually fall into the $500 to $1000 price range. There are always exceptions to the rule (lots of revisions to copy or audio, additional voice talents, celebrity endorsements, etc.) but this figure generally covers development of a solid strategy, copy from experienced copywriters, performance by high caliber voice talents, and the highest quality production services.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The Media</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
For many with questions about radio advertising rates, and radio station prices, here is where the mystery begins. We will try to simplify the mystery of radio media buying as much as we can in this small amount of space.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
A good radio advertising buy focuses on a few different things:</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Finding the best radio stations in a market that match your customer’s demographics (age, gender, income level, etc.) and psychographics (interests, beliefs, hobbies, personality traits, etc.).<br />&#13;<br />
* Finding the dayparts that best reach your target customer. Mornings? Middays? Afternoons?<br />&#13;<br />
* Selecting the top radio stations that most efficiently reach the highest potential customers, the right number of times (defined as frequency), for the least amount of money</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Usually, when researching radio advertising costs, many potential radio advertisers have a pretty good idea of the first two points. However, when it comes down to finding the best station (or stations) at the best price, the radio advertising process becomes a little more challenging.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Here is how we tackle the process at Radio Lounge and determine how much to spend on radio advertising costs. Within the market you want to advertise in, we find the radio stations that have the best potential to reach your target customer. This is based on the formats of the radio stations. Urban Hip-hop stations will target different demographics than a News/Talk, or Soft Rock station. After we select a group of radio stations, we contact those stations to let them know we are thinking about advertising on their radio station. We ask for specific data from the radio stations called &#8220;rankers&#8221;. This is ratings data that most radio stations can provide based on specific requirements we have requested. From this point, we have a good idea which stations perform the best in our target demographics.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Once we have narrowed down the radio stations to just a few that will effectively reach our target customer, we then request a proposal based on certain criteria – dayparts, frequency goals, etc. From these proposals, we can see who reaches the target audience most efficiently – using tools like Cost Per Point (ratio of spot rate to ratings percentage), Cost Per Thousand (ratio of spot rate to audience category totals), etc. If a radio station is not competitive, we will often ask the station to resubmit a more competitive proposal. But, how will we know if all of the station’s radio advertising rates are too high. Radio Lounge has access to data that allows us to compare proposals against historical figures to determine if radio station prices are in line with market averages. We negotiate, and help execute the purchase.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Great…but what does this cost? It depends on the size of the market you wish to advertise in as determined by Arbitron (the radio ratings services). Radio advertising rates can be as high as $800 per 60 spots in a top market like New York City, or as low as $3 per 60 spots in Kerrville, TX. How will you know what to spend?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Here’s a valuable system we have used from our history of working with radio advertising rates. The system is based on a solid branding schedule that may run one spot per day in the morning drive, one per day at midday, and one per day in the afternoon drive – Monday through to Friday, and two spots on Saturday and Sunday. That’s nineteen spots a week at sticker price. This type of schedule is good for achieving a desired frequency level of three (meaning the average listener to a station will hear the radio commercial at least three times). Under these broad assumptions, you can use the following chart as a rough guide to budgeting your radio advertising campaign.*</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
*Note, these are gross rates and do not include production costs or agency discounts. These are market averages for the standard radio schedule mentioned above, actual costs may vary. Different combinations of dayparts on different stations may cost much less.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Markets 1 -5 (ex: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc.)<br />&#13;<br />
Expect to pay from $4000 to $8000 per week/per station for a top performing station.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Markets 6 – 20 (ex: Dallas/Ft.Worth, Houston, Phoenix, San Diego, etc.)<br />&#13;<br />
Expect to pay from $2000 to $5000 per week/per station for a top performing station.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Markets 21 – 50 (ex: Denver, Cleveland, Kansas City, etc.)<br />&#13;<br />
Expect to pay from $1000 to $3000 per week/per station for a top performing station.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Markets 51- 150 (ex: Akron, Syracuse, Baton Rouge, etc.)<br />&#13;<br />
Expect to pay from $800 to $2000 per week/per station for a top performing station.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Markets 150+ (ex: Myrtle Beach SC, Green Bay, Topeka, etc.)<br />&#13;<br />
Expect to pay from $500 to $1500 per week/per station for a top performing station.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
You may be saying, &#8220;Wow! That can be expensive&#8221;. Relax, these are standards and radio advertising schedules come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, schedules are smaller depending on advertising goals and objectives. However, we do recommend that you are able to commit to the range of minimums. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Leftovers?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Notice we have not mentioned remnant radio advertising here at all. Remnant advertising is the practice of buying unused inventory at deep discounts. Remnant advertising success exists more in theory than in practice. However, this is not to say that there are not advertisers who are having success with remnant advertising. If, and when, remnant advertising falls into your lap, we suggest you look into it. However, basing your entire radio ad campaign on remnant advertising may be shooting yourself in the foot. With the exception of a few times a year, most top performing radio stations do not have that much unsold inventory. Often, the largest advertisers have contracts that guarantee so many low cost/no cost spots that have to run. The reality is that if large advertisers (with the big dollar schedule) need their spots to run, or if another advertiser pays just one penny more than you did for your remnant spots – bump! You just got bumped off the air that day. You may pay for twenty spots and only get two that air. The stations will make it up to you, but what if you were counting on that advertising to drive sales. Or better yet, in the age of consolidated radio groups your remnant advertising might run on the third to the last rated station in the market. The result is NO RESULT and you have just wasted money for nothing. We really do believe that when it comes to radio advertising YOU TRULY DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Now that radio advertising rates have been explained, you may ask the question, how long should I advertise? The type of radio advertising helps define the length of a campaign. Advertising for an event? We recommend shorter, more compact schedules to create buzz leading up to the event or launch. Branding a product? Often, long term schedules with a bit of breathing room work best. Maybe even flighting could work (on two weeks, off two weeks). Most of the time, the two things that will determine how long to run a radio advertising campaign will be advertiser goals (traffic numbers), and external factors such as sales cycles. Oh yeah, and usually budget affects the length of the campaign. It is not desired, but that’s reality.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The Total Cost</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
You may be thinking, &#8220;So if I want to run a spot on three top Houston radio stations, I should expect to pay $1000 for a commercial, plus $3000 per week per station…that’s $10,000 for one week’s worth of advertising!&#8221; That’s true, and may be just what it takes to reach over half a million potential well targeted customers. The real question is, &#8220;How much money can you make off half a million potential targeted customers?&#8221; Is it more than $10,000 a week? $40,000 a month? These are questions to ask yourself, because in the world of advertising, that is pretty good traffic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Businesses often become known today through effective marketing. The marketing may be in the form of a regular news item or half column society news in the Sunday newspaper. The marketing may be in the form of a heart to heart talk with Mr. Brown on his prominent local television show. These are all advertising. Businesses cannot get away from the force of advertising. If they want to make their products known in the marketplace they have to use some form of advertisement. Advertising is being more and more known as a reasonable and desirable business force.</p>
<p>Let’s say you own a department store. The advertising manager of the store is like the managing editor of a daily newspaper with his group of reporters regularly bringing fresh matter to his desk and the different department heads acts as the reporters.</p>
<p>Take it on a Thursday or Friday, when the big Sunday advertisements are in process of construction, the scene is remarkably lively, and the man at the head of the advertising department has plenty occasions to exercise his ready cleverness and level-headedness. He must have very clear-cut and definite ideas as to what&#8217;s what, and no matter what influence may be brought to bear upon him by the different managers the advertising manager must have a stamina to select what he considers the best and arrange the same as he thinks wise, while at the same time he must have sufficient tact and skill to do these things without hurting the feelings of buyers—who, after all, are the real powers in the department store. <span id="more-4"></span></p>
<p>The advertising manager soon knows the buyers. Of course, the manager has a pretty accurate knowledge of the products. He knows what the other stores are advertising. And he sees to it that the prices that go into print do not run higher than competing figures. Thus, every advertising manager should constantly study his market – which marketing material is best or which language is best – he should not shoot too high or too low. Likewise, his brain must constantly be devising new ideas and sales method to attract the public.</p>
<p>In choosing the right marketing material to use, the manager should consider their audience, their product and their budget. A good ad is very important but if its cost and design does not complement the product you might as well receive poor sales. For this reason, it is important to carefully consider how to design the material, what to include in it and how to print it. There are a lot of affordable printing techniques today. The method that you will choose will depend on the material that you will produce. Thus, carefully weigh your options.</p>
