Radio Is Cost-Effective Advertising for Personal Injury Lawyers

Radio is cost-effective. According to Adweek, a Nielsen study found that radio delivered $12 in sales for every $1 spent on advertising.

How to Use the Power of Cross-Branding to Increase ROI From Radio Advertising

Because radio advertising is inexpensive, radio is the ideal advertising media to combine with other forms of advertising media. When you combine different types of advertising media, that’s called cross-branding.

Cross-branding substantially increases brand awareness and the likelihood that potential clients will call you. When people see your brand in different types of advertising media, they recognize and trust your law firm more than when seen in only one type of advertising media.

For instance, combining radio advertising with billboard advertising for lawyers will build more brand awareness than the two alone.

Billboards are a branding tool and a significant component of cross-branding. Billboards substantially increase the effectiveness of both radio and TV advertising.

How to Use Radio for Personal Injury Advertising

Use radio advertising together with other advertising media for the increased power of cross-branding.

Because radio advertising is not visual, it’s important to use a vanity phone number for direct response advertising and to increase branding.

Using a vanity phone number is crucial for direct response advertising. Using a vanity phone number for direct response ads in radio advertising can increase calls 14 times over radio commercials using a numeric phone number.

When hearing your radio commercial, listeners need to remember your phone number. However, most people misunderstand the importance of using a vanity phone number. It’s not just so listeners remember how to call you.

It’s even more important that listeners recognize your brand. A vanity phone number is a brand attractant that compels people to call you.
