We're often asked "how much does it cost to advertise on the radio?" That's like asking "how much does it cost to build a house?" It depends. How many bedrooms do you need? Do you want a fireplace? Tile floors or carpet? A carport or a 2-car garage?
Like building a house, many factors go into determining the cost of radio advertising. How many ads per day? 30-second or 60-second ads? How many times per day do you want to run them? For how long?
In reality, a properly done radio ad campaign does not cost you money - it makes you money!
