Radio Ad Script

[Rdelahunr]

Just trying to get my ducks in a row for my start up this coming spring. I just made a script for my lawn service (just a mow, trim, blow) ad that will go through around 4 stations. It will be 30 seconds. Please help me refine it, and if you think it's trash, let me know and help me write something better.

Listen VERY carefully to radio ads. They tell you the name of the business, the business saying, and location or phone number so many times it would make you sick to really pay attention to the whole ad.

Down here there is a company called FAMOUS****-, they say that name at least 5 times, and have a phone number no less than 6 time. With the tag line each time they use the company name. you made us famous-famous****-.

Why have you decided to go with radio ads?

When was the last time you bought anything from a company because of a radio ad you heard?

[CHEESE2009]

Radio ads are expensive here, and you don't get to use your own recordings. Stations have actors who do it for you

[Rdelahunr]

I'm going with radio because I get it free. You can record your own ad and I work a few days a week there as it's family owned. The typical ad is 9 to ten dollars, not the 200 some of you have reported. There is a local handyman who advertises on my grandfathers show monday through friday 930 to 10am and has reported turning down plenty of calls due to too much business.

I have a radio add and it has worked well for me. It still doesn't compare to word of mouth but if you're just starting out it should get you some calls. Our adds here are cheap because it's an extremely small town. I bought 20 runs M-F 2x a day. I picked this because we have a trading post that runs for 20 minutes every morning M-F 7:07-7:27 A.M. and it is run during that when most people around here are looking for a deal. Does your radio station have a popular segment or anything like that? If it does you should try to get a spot during that.
