Are you marketing yourselves? The most successful stations we work with are visible everywhere in their communities, in pursuit of audience.\u00a0But I\u2019m convinced their high visibility does even more for their revenues than it does for their ratings!<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Prospects who don\u2019t listen to your station can get the impression that everyone else in town does listen to you when your vehicles, banners, sponsorships and staff are seen at every community event they attend.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>With all of your competitors claiming to be \u201cnumber one\u201d, most business decision-makers don\u2019t believe ratings.\u00a0\u00a0On the other hand, they do believe their own eyes and have confidence in your popularity when they perceive they see you everywhere.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Retailers claim the key to success is location, location, location.
