Consumers spend a significant part of their day listening to radio, it delivers higher adult reach than newspaper and TV in all day parts from early morning to early evening. (Source: BBM-RTS Fall 10)

This ongoing, daily presence in the marketplace is key to creating a competitive edge enabling advertisers to stand out amongst the increasing volume of consumer-targeted messages.

Radio’s cost efficiency allows advertisers to be heard not only every day, but multiple times throughout the day. This average frequency is critically important for quickly delivering advertising response – web visits, store traffic, sales, brand recall and intent-to-purchase.

What Our Advertisers Say

The New FM 107.7 on site mobile radio remote was a very effective way to reach our customer base. We feel that the success of our Open House was impacted by the fact that the radio station was live on location. Making announcements throughout the day provided us with a connection to our existing customers as well as new ones. We look forward to using this means of advertising in the future.

Lorraine Quehl, Global Pet Foods

Lately we’ve been hearing lots about our “Retail Therapy” at Festival Marketplace and we always have comments about our visits to chat on the morning show about the various mall events. FM 107.7 always works well for us.”

MJ Thomson, Festival Marketplace

We’ve been very happy with the traffic from the web advertising.

Amanda Nuhn, Buchanan & Hall

Just wanted to say thank you to you, CJCS, Eddie, Jamie and Jim for their amazing coverage of our Toque Selling Event on Saturday! It was a huge success and we had a tonne of people come to see us who had heard the radio ad and came just to buy a toque!

Alison Dmytryshyn-Daniels, BrokerLink

This advertising has been great for the store. Lots of customers in looking for the products we are advertising and definite increase in sales as a whole! Thanks for your support and all your ideas!

Lorrie Ingram, Owner of Nutrition House

Never before have we had people stop us on the street to say they heard our ads and thoroughly enjoyed them. In fact, most people make reference to some of the anecdotes in the ads. We feel that we certainly get great value for our advertising dollars spent with your stations.

Barry (Sam) Blowes, President, CWT Blowes Travel

I have worked with the staff from both stations on promoting events
for many years. Staff has always showed extreme professionalism and knowledge. In 2011 Crys Newland and staff more then met our contract and expectations. Their expertise and skill in promoting our 2011 Walk a Mile in Her Shoes and Women of the Year Awards was unquestionably a huge part of our success in raising dollars for the shelter. We are looking forward to continuing our positive and successful partnership in 2012.
