You see it all the time on social media. A friend has a problem they need to solve and they ask for recommendations from people they trust. Whether it's plumbers, HVAC experts, veterinarians, dentists, or suppliers of mulch, internet services or landscaping services, finding a reputable business is a recurring need.
If the public doesn't know your business exists, you're not likely to capitalize on such opportunities. Public radio marketing is a great way to become known before you're needed. A public radio campaign can raise awareness of your brand so that you are first in mind when the need arises. Public radio listeners have a higher level of trust in brands that support their favorite station. For listeners, public radio is more than just a part of their day, it's a part of their lives. Eighty percent consider public media personally important to them, and 73% hold a positive opinion of businesses and nonprofits that sponsor station programming.
