Who Advertises With Us?
Many years ago I was taught a smart lesson by a local small business owner. He commented to me that whenever he goes around and searches for new real estate for his business, all he has to do is locate the nearest big chain supermarket and an accompanying bank. He reasoned that they had already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on real estate and daily traffic reports and so therefore, saved him the time, effort and money. The same could be said for advertising in some ways.
Don’t get bowled over by our enthusiasm, infectious optimism, and winning smiles…….play the game of follow the leader. Look at the following list of advertisers and make the decision for yourself: Would they be advertising on Sarasota’s ONLY FM talk station if it wasn’t working for them?
