Santa Endorses Results With Radio

I got a personal endorsement from the big guy himself. (Note the giant belt buckle that gives away his identity).

Santa says that Atlanta businesses who want to get results with their marketing should contact Mike Copeland.

If you've been a good business, I think that Santa and I could arrange for some good qualified leads to be under your tree this year.

Give me a call or e mail me.

Merry Christmas!!

Women And Online Brand Engagement


Women are clicking and are remaining more engaged with brands who offer virtual currency. In a recent Brandweek article, recipients claimed that using virtual currency was both "fun" and "addictive."

"It talks to the fact that women are interacting with these games," said Wise. [Matt Wise, President, Q Interactive] "If you can create a positive brand experience, it's an excellent way to weave advertisements into a game because you've got the attention of the consumers ... It's a positive experience for the consumers and keeps the consumer engaged in the game by getting more virtual points and ideally playing some more."

The findings also report that "women are jumping at the chance to earn online points and virtual dollars."

We have a platform like none other here at 104.7 the Fish to take advantage of this trend. It's called Fish Rewards -- a points based loyalty program that rewards our audience for engaging with our advertisers.

The more points our audience earns the more prizes they can win -- all while getting a "forced" education about your business.

Interested in learning more? Let's talk.

Advertising Lessons from a Chiropractor

I did something that I thought I'd never do.

I went for a chiropractic appointment because of a chronic pain I've developed in my right shoulder area.

Now you wouldn't think there are any advertising lessons from a doctor of chiropractic but there were ... many lessons that could apply to your business.

First, my doctor listened intently to the symptoms I was experiencing. He asked good follow up questions to gather more information.

He then had me lay face down on the table.

This is where he really demonstrated his expertise. After feeling my spine, he asked me questions about acid reflux and a couple of other health related questions. He confidently demonstrated knowledge, then, suggested specific test before moving forward in treatment so that he would know exactly what he was dealing with.

(Remember prescription without diagnosis is malpractic in any field)

I walked into that chiropractor's office not exactly sure if this treatment was for me but in a short 60-minutes walked out convinced that I needed to have chiropractic care. And I felt good about parting with my $$.

Advertising Lesson: Like this doctor of chiropractic did, find your customers pain. Demonstrate your expertise. Then, show how your product or service best eases the pain. When you find the pain and demonstrate knowledge of how to get rid of the pain, cost to your customer becomes a lower factor on the decision making scale.
