RADIO ADS: ANTE UP NOW! - lets do this!

[Lord Xar]

Okay, Like the NEWSPAPER AD - I AM PUSHING FOR RADIO ADS.

RADIO AD DONATIONS

Listen, this is a tight push. Please specify IN your 'subject" via paypal: radio ad.

We need to up the ante fast on this. Post this thread in other places - ie. meetups and such. Its important.

List of Radio stations under consideration:

KGGO-FM 94.9 - Classic Rock
KJJY-FM 92.5 - Country
KHKI-FM 97.3 - Country
KWQW-FM 98.3 - Talk
WHO 1040 - News Radio **


spots are from $10 - $160 PER 30second spot, depending on station and times.
WHO is 150 - 250 per 30 second spot.

I will put $200 towards this.

IF the newspaper ad does not pan up (lack of donations), I will contact those people and roll those monies into this (including my $300 in addition to the $200 here)...!!!!!

PAYPAL: [email protected]

Make this a sticky. I will fax the mod my drivers license for verification of "who I am".

Xar,
Doesn't look promising in the newspaper thread...feel free to roll the cash I donated to wherever you feel will reach the most people...personally like the radio ads a bit more to be honest..good luck..

 

[Lord Xar]

Yeah, I think the RADIO will be a bit more bang for the buck....

Let me modify it to push people here.

I got $35.. I wish I could do more but It's gonna be hard for me to pay bills this month as is...

that $35 has the potential to pay for 3 ads, depending... ANYTHING counts!

Ditto me on that. I don't care where my money goes as long as it goes to help getting the message out.

 

[jacmicwag]

I'm in too

I'm in for $35. Would do more but tickets for San Antonio this weekend ran $200.

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

What about WHO radio? I would put $200 toward an ad on WHO radio, Jan Mikkelson's station.

TARGETing the ads is crucial! Pop radio listeners don't care about politics. WHO talk radio listeners DO care about politics. 30 second ad there is worth 20x what one on pop radio is worth.

 

[Electrostatic]

Okay. I just called WHO and got pricing... they are expensive... But that is a viable market and will include that. I will modify the original post.

But, in all honesty, an ad on their station is worth 20 times what an ad on a music station would be. So it they're less than 20x the price of another station, it's a good deal. Hell, put all the money on that one station. It'd be worth it.

Am I right, y'all?

 

[BLS]

OK..You got $20 more. I can't afford to give more right now, I'm sorry.

I totally agree. The music stations aren't going to hit as many straw voters as the local political/talk station will...BUT, there's a good chance those who listen to those stations will also have their minds made up already.

6 of one, 1/2 dozen of another.

 

[Lord Xar]

Ok.. I need the donations.. We can work out specifics in a few days.. I will not hit the "fm stations" much but mostly all talk radio.... and just a "few" music stations..... for a bit of overlap...

Okay.. WHO is the Majority. BUT DONATE.

Keep in mind they have "tiers" of availability.. some tiers are already filled up.

Just do whatever you think is right.

Does this mean, say, that rush hour is filled through the middle of August or something?

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

How much do you need? For example, how much is a 30-second spot on Mikkelson's show, or whatever? Are you going to have the stations do the voice-over? Do you have a script? How soon will they go up?

I'm ready to send money; just want to know what we're buying.

 

[Lord Xar]

Yes... I am ONLY going for August 1st thru August 7th ---

Actually I believe the MOST EXPENSIVE spots are available after August 6th... I spoke with a very nice woman. I didn't get into big specifics about "Levels" of advertising because I do not have enough to make a clear definition of where WE will be advertising. Once we get a good bit of money, then we can see what our options are. Level 1 is the best and is for prime-time, largest listener coverage, level 2 is.. well, second best and still commands a wise audience. Our goal is level 2 and level 1...

Keep in mind, I am doing this for the STRAW POLL. After the 11th... HQ needs to ante up on how they want to proceed etc...

BUT FOR OTHERS ---- Once this Straw Poll is over, we need to formulate radio for upcoming polls BEFORE 2-3 weeks prior.. like we have been doing.

thanks.

Xar, I'm having trouble establishing a Pay Pal account. I would like to donate $35 at least. Could you send an address to my private yahoo.com account? Thanks.
