This is an ‘all-inclusive’ advertising package which includes on-air radio promotion and online presence.

This is the most affordable way to promote your business on radio!

ON AIR: 
We play a series of 60 second business directories in our daily broadcasts and your business will feature in one of these premium spots with a 15 second advert along with two other non-competing businesses.

This advertising spot will include your business name, one line of promotional text and one form of contact information.  

Your business will feature in one of these spots TWICE per day in our prime time shows as a minimum.

This feature is ‘packaged up’ with an intro and extro giving the listener details of how they can find your business via our online directory. 

ONLINE:
As part of this package, we add you to our online Business Directory which gives the listener more information about your business and all the relevant contact information. We also cross-promote this online directory in other ad breaks throughout the day.
