How To Make Inbound Marketing Work For Radio Stations

Running a Radio Station?

If you’re a CEO, your day might be filled by setting up meetings with all your departmental Heads, getting reports, tracking results, sales and employee efficiency.

Behind closed doors, you may be racking your head about how to boost sales and how to make sense of this devil called digital media.

You know it’s a devil because all your audiences are going digital and your sixth sense tells you there must be a way to monetize that arm, yet you don’t know how.

Stuck for answers, you push your digital team to sell more banners and skyscrapers on your website.

Yet there are only so many real estate opportunities on your website. And it still doesn’t work.

 

Why Every Radio CEO Needs To Consider Inbound Marketing

I’ve been in the broadcast radio industry for close to 16 years now and I’ve seen the growth and decline of various media houses.

Some capitalize on the new challenges in front of them to evolve and keep up with the times. Others refuse to adapt and crumble.

The listener ultimately controls the rise and fall of radio stations.

The emergence of streaming radio platforms like Pandora and Apple are a slap in the face of arrogant Radio CEO’s who thought they wielded power over the listener, whereas it was the other way around.

The listener ultimately controls the rise and fall of radio stations.

That said, all offline broadcast media houses are faced with a need to grow, evolve and figure out new ways to keep your audiences loyal.

That goes for advertisers too.

They have moved online, where they can attract the radio listener, cheaper, more effectively without having to spend astronomical sums of money on radio channels.

Advertisers know that listeners are online, so reaching them via Facebook, Google, Snapchat and Instagram is the way to go.

Traditional Radio Revenue Opportunities No Longer Work…

Your On-Air profits are plunging across board.

Spot Ads no longer seem an option and Sponsorship revenue is on a horizontal.

You yell out for more lead generation, yet it’s harder than squeezing water from a camel.

At a time of dwindling profits and massive retrenchment exercises, this can be a major headache.

The juggling act only gets more complicated as your cluster of radio stations grows.

You have two choices: Driven by the chaos, allow yourself to go mad, or find a workable solution in your market that streamlines your operations and enables you to scale your radio stations.

Instead of rushing to the chemist for a extra strong dose of the red pills…

Inbound Marketing, Perhaps?

At a time like this, the only solution to shore up dwindling sales is an active pursuit and implementation of inbound marketing.

Inbound marketing offers a different approach to traditional broadcast radio sales.

Instead of looking for clients, let them come to you…

… on the power of the authoritative articles and insights relevant to their business that they find online, on your website.

Show them how to grow their business and link it to why they need you and they will happily give you their marketing dollar.

They find it when they are searching online for the best advertising and marketing solutions that work for them.

In fact…
