How it Works |
Each Feature has an open, a space for a local commercial and then a close.
|
|
The station carrying the long-form Money Pit Home Improvement
Radio Show over the weekend. You'll expose your clients to your whole
cume, in key dayparts. And those Money Pit Minutes will serve to
promote The Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show on
weekends.
Have another AM station in your cluster? Money Pit Minutes allow you to
bundle your Adult Standard or All-Sports station into the Home Improvement
pitch. You can even include the FMs in your cluster. They're your Features,
run them where and when you want.
The Money Pit Minute SOUNDS like an informative feature.
But it's really commercial creative. Not just another jingle...it makes
money! The Money Pit Minute is a spot that will stand-out, and
advantage its sponsor, via:
1. Focused Delivery: The carefully worded tease is an attention grabber
that mentally tunes-in potential Home Improvement shoppers.
|
2. Editorial Separation: Be honest. How would YOU like to be the
advertiser who paid for commercial #6 in a stop set? The Money Pit
Minute puts it's sponsor's message in a PROGRAMMING context. Its
"donut" format makes it more-than-just-another-commercial.
|
3. Editorial Association: Since the show's hosts deliver the tips,
advertisers get opportunities to associate directly with the talent, an
inferred endorsement that many sponsors find attractive.
|
Remember, there's NO national spot, NO national sponsor billboard,
and - someone in your traffic/business department will cheer out loud
about this - NO affidavits for the Minutes. YOU sell it locally, and YOU
keep the money.
