Choose or be Forgotten: Many advertisers leave radio advertising up to the local station rep. Whoever calls you first, or can make an appointment with you is the winner. Not altogether bad, but think of whose interest he's serving. He (or she's) out to sell you his station which may or may not be the most appropriate one for you.

This is the first step in pinpointing who you are trying to reach, and will help determine if radio is even an appropriate contributor to your potential campaign. You have your own job to do. You don't want to become a full time media person. That's fine. But we implore you to at least become more familiar with the different options there for you to choose from.

If you're selling Investment opportunities, then appearing on a Hard Rock or Dance radio station might not be the best choice to reach your preferred audience. But unless you work with, and understand what your rep is offering, then you've willingly given up control of where your ad(s) is placed and seen or heard.

Don't be swayed just because this particular media were the first or only sales rep to call on you. Every market ...
... has multiple stations. You need to ensure that your best interests are served, not the stations'. In many cases, an independent media person can save you more than the cost of using their services. You get their professionalism, years of experience and a true partner in your planning. Their objectivity makes the stations work harder to get on the buy, and they can often weave multimedia together giving you a grander platform for your budget.
