If you’re going to advertise (and you should), it makes sense to spend your advertising money where you get the most results… Radio!

Here are ten reasons why radio is your best choice (courtesy of the Radio Advertising Bureau).

1) Radio sells with immediacy.

Research proves that radio regularly reaches consumers within two hours of their largest purchase of the day. Can there be a better time to reach customers than on their car radio while they are driving to do today’s shopping? Or for Internet radio stations, when your listeners are already surfing the net and shopping online while listening.

2) Radio sells everywhere.

Radio is the only true mobile medium. In the car, at work, and at play, radio is there…the companion and the advertising force your customers take with them wherever they go.

3) Radio sells with intimacy.

In your personal life, when you have something very important to communicate to someone, which would you prefer – to show them a picture, to write to them, or to talk with the intimacy and emotion of the human voice? Radio sells with intimacy.

4) Radio stars in the theater of the mind.

Want a 100-piece symphony orchestra in your ad, an elephant, a chorus, a laughing child, a love song? With word pictures and emotion-evoking sounds, radio’s theatre of the mind stimulates the most emotion-filled pictures the mind can comprehend.

5) Radio escapes advertising’s clutter.

Today’s newspapers average 2/3 ad copy to 1/3 editorial copy. TV spends about 1/3 of its time on advertising. Today’s radio, at about 10 minutes of advertising per hour, devotes less than 1/5 of its time to ads. Radio is the uncluttered medium.

6) Radio is the cost effective medium.

Newspaper rates are up (even though circulation is down). TV ad rates are up (even though viewer-ship is down). Radio advertising costs grew less than any other major form of advertising.

7) Reach is nice, but frequency sells.

Newspaper and TV are reach media – they reach varying numbers of people. Psychologists tell us that consumers need to be exposed to an advertising message at least three times before it begins to penetrate. Most local businesses cannot afford the necessary three-times-plus frequency that effective advertising demands – except on radio. Radio is the reach and frequency medium you can afford.

8) Radio’s targeted advertising sells.

Radio’s variety of formats allows you to pinpoint your advertising on the station or stations that best match your customer’s interests. You cannot pinpoint advertising in the broad-reach, scatter-shot newspaper and TV media forms. Radio’s unique targeting ability saves you money.

9) You’re always on the front page with radio.

With radio advertising you are front and center in the listener’s attention span when your ad is on the air. You’re never buried on page 42 and you’re never surrounded by your competitor’s ads. With radio, you are always on the front page.

10) Radio is an active medium in an active society.

Passive forms of advertising simply list merchandise or tell you where a product is available. Radio is an active medium capable of stirring emotion, creating demand, and selling your product or service. Today’s hotly competitive marketplace demands an active medium. That’s radio!

Mother Truckers is a play written by playwrights, Judith Sapperstein & Gary Murway and licensed by TLC Scripts.  A hilarious show about two sisters, Maxine and Charlotte, who take up the truck route of Maxine’s recently deceased husband.  On the road they have many fun and outrageous adventures and well … “on the road will never be the same again!”

In these episodes, the play is continued with more fun from everyone’s new favorite sisters.  You can’t get these stories on stage so sit back and have some fun because the Mother Truckers are rollin’ down a highway near you!

Inside this episode, Maxine & Charlotte have stopped off at a truck stop to have a bite to eat and get a shower where Max finds out the hard way that its important to remember one’s allergies, especially in public, so as to avoid embarrassment. We meet new characters and find a surprise visitor in the back of the truck.

The Great Zombie Escape

It's Halloween at iMoogi ... and the Zombies are loose!

Darkness Descends…

The wind whistles through the leaves above your head.  The ‘kaw’ of a crow echo’s in the still, dank air around you.  You’re lost in the chill night air but salvation is within sight.  To your right is a house sitting atop a hill, perhaps its occupants can help you find your way out of this bleak, dismal place.  You wouldn’t want to be caught out doors, on Halloween … when monsters are about.
