How to Get Started With Direct Response Radio

Last Second Media provides frugal accountability for your advertising dollar. We do this by creating a win/win for both direct response advertisers and partner stations.    

Getting started on a national radio campaign is easy, too. Helping you determine, " How Much Will It Cost?" is the value we bring to the relationship. There are 12 steps we walk you through:

THE 12 STEPS OF NATIONAL RADIO ADVERTISING :

1.  CREATE YOUR OFFER - It's important to create a compelling offer for listeners to act now.  Without this offer, no amount of brand positioning or creative production will overcome the costs of doing business.

2.  RUN FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS  - By running business models at varying volumes, you'll find the sweet spot for your direct marketing campaign.

3.  WRITE SCRIPT/LEGAL REVIEW  -   This is one of most overlooked parts of direct response Radio, and may take as long as 2 weeks to complete.  Writing the first commercial allows you to focus on the Unique Selling Proposition for your firm. Getting legal approval helps keep it on air when it works.

4.  CREATE RESPONSE MECHANISMS  -   A unique 800 number and/or web component will be created to track the results of the DR campaign. 

5.  INTEGRATION WITH CALL CENTER  -   Whether you answer your own phone or use an outside call center, you'll want tracking for all the call components. 

6.  DRAW OUT EACH AND EVERY TOUCH POINT - Flesh out and finalize on paper, everything the caller or visitor will encounter. This includes the call center script, fulfillment materials and follow-up direct mail.

7.  PRODUCE COMMERCIAL --   A set of high quality radio commercials in :30 and :60 lengths is complimentary with your overview process. 

8.  ARRANGE GENERIC AND/OR  CUSTOMIZED SPOTS  -   Be sure to produce a commercial that contains no fixed mention of the 800# or website.  This way you can customize the commercial for media tracking.  Plan to tag the response device two times in a :30 and three or more times in a :60.

9.  PURCHASE MEDIA TEST - To qualify for national radio advertising, and to determine a fair media allowable, your creative will need to be tested. Typically, a :30 and :60 radio spot can be thoroughly tested over a 4-week period for as little as $4500.

10.   DETERMINE PRICING ON A PERFORMANCE BASIS- You want to sample a small part of a large universe and set your cost-per-lead within a range that can reach the largest audience possible.  After all, even if you deliver a very low cost-per-lead, your offer may not have room to grow to it’s full potential if it's priced too low.  Last Second Media can help you reach the maximum velocity without leaving extra money on the table. Typically you will calculate the cost per action (CPA) using the following formulas:

Price X Quantity = Media ROI

Or

Media ROI / Number of Leads = CPA

Ie. In a $2,500 radio media test over a two week period, you might generate 100 valid leads. To calculate your CPA, you’d divide $2,500 / 100 Calls = $25 CPA.

11.  EVALUATION OF TEST RESULTS  -   There are a number of moving parts in a direct response radio campaign. This includes:

• THE OFFER
• THE CREATIVE
• RADIO STATION FORMAT
• TIME OF DAY/WEEK
• GEOGRAPHY

Once your testing is complete, plan on working with Account Representative to test and tweak some of these parts to find the right mix of offer details, disclaimers, titles, or even targeted demographics.  

12. CONNECTING THE BACK-END - For successful clients, Last Second Media will embark on a fully-integrated Sales Conversion Process ( SCP) to help close the sale on your behalf. Last Second Media's SCP uses digitally enhanced or automated direct mail marketing communications to:

• close your sales automatically
• speed up the conversion process
• maintain low-cost retention and contact with the customer
• develop word-of-mouth  or recommend-a-friend programs
• achieve superior closing rates
