Transcript Radio reaches 93% of Americans with 235 million weekly listeners

The Purpose and Use of this Slide Library:
· Radio has enormous competitive advantages versus other media, particularly during tough economic times.
The intention of the following slide library is to provide you with the most compelling and succinct reasons why
choosing radio makes more sense now than ever before.
· This is NOT a presentation. It is a series of slides and discussion points that can and should make a
difference to your clients. These slides can be dropped into most presentations…a “red deck” capabilities
presentation, a “Why Radio” presentation, a recap presentation, an annual pitch, etc. These slides can be
meaningful for local, national, business development and digital.
· Each slide has multiple uses and you are encouraged to commit to memory the essential points on each page.
These pertinent points will come in handy when you develop VBR’s, in creating powerful emails and when you
are in general discussions with your clients. The more articulate you are about the information contained on
these slides, the more compelling the case for radio you will make.
· We live in a time where all of our decisions are under greater scrutiny. Please do not assume that because
your client has been doing radio for years that their choice of advertising/radio isn’t being questioned. These
points are powerful reminders of why radio is a good choice for our existing advertisers, as well as a confidence
builder for those advertisers that are considering their first foray into radio.
· The deck is divided into 4 sections for ease of use: The Power of Radio, Case Studies, Testimonials, and
Appendix. The appendix is a separate PDF attachment and contains some of the full length articles/studies that
are noted on the slides.
· This is a beginning. We will add and delete from these slides as we go. If you have suggestions on how we
can improve these slides or have additional information that you think would be helpful to the group, please
forward your suggestions to Marijane Milton.
