As a fisherman I would like you to think about the following, when I go fishing I always consider is it a lake, river, salt or fresh water, surf or deep sea. Then I think of what fish are available, where are they and what is the best time to go after them. Also I decide the type of bait I will use.

For as long as I can remember, most radio groups have included event marketing as a budget line in their annual business plans. Last I checked, this continues to be a component of station revenue forecasts. With the deep emotional investment P-1 listeners have made in their favorite stations and the multiple ways stations have at their disposal to communicate with each layer of its listening audience, radio brands are in the most powerful position to leverage events than any other entity on the planet. Yet, while many of the most successful station events measure their prowess in eye-popping attendance performance and qualitative statistics, much of the revenue-generating power of these events gets left on the table. |

Perhaps the example of what took place in Tyler Texas last night is a great example of why radio stations across America should get behind the push to have FM chips installed in cell phones. Public safety is one of the reasons the NAB is making a push to install the chips. Yesterday, Radio Ink publisher Eric Rhoads wrote an editorial about the chips and debuted a new commercial we are hoping radio stations can use to help educate the public. |
