We ran the ads on the most popular news radio (AM) station during
morning drive (6 a.m. to 10 a.m.), and on a local "adult alternative"
(FM) station in the evenings (6 p.m. to midnight). Our frequency was
high (probably about a $3k investment for 6 weeks) but a package deal
since the same broadcasting company owned and managed both the AM and
FM stations.
Radio works if your ad is clear and the information on how to contact
you is easy to remember. We had a custom telephone number based on
our company name and also had billboards up at the same time with the
number on them, so retention from when someone heard it driving
down the road was probably higher as a result.
You might want to ask this question over on the isp-marketing list as
well (www.isp-marketing.com).
