Radio Advertising Bureau, www.rab.com Presslaff Interactive Revenue, www.presslaff.com Copyright 2014 Page 14 F.C.T. Report: Home Improvement RAB Webinar, January, 2014 Home Improvement Case Study Country Radio Station Mid‐sized Market Result = New On‐Air and Email Marketing Ad Dollars Issue Large Home Improvement retailer pulled advertising from the station. They did not believe that the station had listeners who were interested in doing Home Improvements or interested in shopping there. Challenge Demonstrate that client should continue advertising on the station & show other Home Improvement retail stores/providers that their audience is a viable target. Database Solution Put together a Home Improvement Survey to collect information on station listeners, their plans for Home Improvement projects and where they shop for Home Improvement supplies/services. The Results • Presented the results of the survey to potential Home Improvement clients • Created Sales Sheet highlighting survey results • Created Sales Package offering clients the chance to send targeted emails to listeners based on their Home Improvement interests given in the survey. Radio Advertising Bureau, www.rab.com Presslaff Interactive Revenue, www.presslaff.com Copyright 2014 Page 15 F.C.T. Report: Home Improvement RAB Webinar, January, 2014 The Sales Successes Set Appointment Sales Reps set appointments with advertisers to share a unique opportunity to directly reach qualified consumers looking to do home improvement product. Share Data Share results of survey, particularly focusing on two data points: ‐ Qualified respondents planning the specific type of home improvement project that business provides ‐ Opted‐in members looking in saving money on their project The Sales Successes Offer ‐ Email qualified consumers who opted‐in for more home improvement information. Email included a special savings offer or incentive to contact the advertiser and consider a purchase. ‐ The opportunity to reach a larger audience with a traditional advertising campaign in order to reach other likely customers who weren’t represented in the survey. Set Expectations Small numbers are ok..these are qualified customers who are ready to buy. ‐ Ask how many people do you need to get through the door of your business? ‐ Ask for a specific sales target/goal?
