Here’s what caught my attention from my chat with Dan Presser:
- Radio advertising works best when you create ads with cut through.
They clearly don’t have to be the fanciest ads going around, with huge production budgets … they just need to stand out in a very crowded market place. A great lesson for any marketing message, really! - Don’t take negative feedback to heart. Maybe even welcome it if you’ve got a thick enough skin! Dan could have easily got his back up with what John Laws and Ray Hadley had to say; but instead, he embraced it.
- Consider putting yourself in your business’s advertising. I can cite numerous examples of legendary TV and radio campaigns fronted by business owners, starting way back in 1979 with Victor Kyam’s Remington TV commercial.
