Daily Sales Tip:

Catch and keep the consumers who listen to your station engaged in your website. Most stations create website pages that look like brochures just to tell the station's story. Listeners will keep coming back to exciting, engaged Interactive sites that interest their lifestyles. Create contests and games, ask listeners to participle in current polls, download Free E-Books, and create branded scavenger hunts. Of course, all these "sticky" features need to be sellable. Creativity will keep your listeners coming back each day.
