One minute isn’t a lot of time.
Have you ever thought about what you can do in 60-seconds?
As a matter of fact, we have. It’s actually pretty amazing when you think about what can be done in a very short amount of time. At 98.3FM The Dove, we think we are the MASTERS of what you can do in a minute. That’s why we put together a random list of 10 things to do in a 60-second break:
- Drink a glass of water
- Scratch your dog’s belly (or cat…we’re fine either way)
- Floss your teeth
- Eat a handful of almonds
- Tell a joke
- Do 10 push-ups (or 20 sit-ups)
- Spin a hula-hoop around your waist (or neck…or arm…your choice)
- Gargle
- Wash your hands (with soap and water please)
- Make your bed
That’s what YOU can do in 60-seconds. Want to know what WE can do??
In 60-seconds, we can give you a valuable health tip, tell you where to go to treat a bug problem in your home, share the best place to go to purchase a car or get a cell phone or buy jewelry. We can introduce you to a new person in the community or tell you where to get the best deal on tires.
We are unabashedly the BEST at maximizing 60-seconds.
Why? Because that’s how long a commercial break lasts on the Dove. That’s it – not 3 minutes, not 4 minutes…60 seconds. And after that minute is up, you’re back to dancing around your office or singing along in your car to your favorite music.
Yep…60-seconds. We pretty much own it.
Why do we get so excited about 60-second commercial breaks? Because at the end of the day, it’s 60-seconds that sets us apart from other radio stations: both for you as a listener and for you as an advertiser. Here’s why:
Listeners Love Them…
Listener Satisfaction: It’s tempting on other stations to change the channel when a commercial break comes on. Not so on 98.3FM The Dove. Every listener knows that another song is on the way…in just a quick 60-seconds. In fact, that’s one reason why they choose the station! They like the music…that’s obvious…but, and here’s the kicker, they STAY listening because they know that a commercial break will be done in 60-seconds, so there’s no temptation to leave.
…And So Do Advertisers!
Frequency, Frequency, Frequency: Because commercial breaks on the Dove are only 60-seconds, potential customers are WAY more likely to hear your ad. For an advertiser, that’s pretty good news. In fact, listeners to the Dove keep the station tuned in a lot longer than they do other stations. This means that, over time, they end up hearing more of your ads, more often. For an advertiser…that’s frequency of impression. For a company building a brand or driving advertising results, frequency is gold. More impressions mean better results and stronger brand recall.
Trust: Another benefit of a longer-listening audience, for a station and therefore for an advertiser, is trust. The longer a listener tunes in to a particular station, the more they will trust the station. This means they are more likely to participate in station promotions and events, which can be a great way for you as an advertiser to interact with potential customers and build increased brand awareness. It also means they’ll transfer some of that trust to your business.
