Selling the Sizzle

Selling Beyond (and without) Numbers

 

It’s a fact. Some stations have great “numbers,” but unless those numbers translate at the cash register, they may be ringing the wrong ears.

That’s because numbers don’t tell the whole story, especially Hispanic radio’s rich and vibrant story. And in small markets or for independent operators, sometimes numbers aren’t even available — or affordable.

How do you tell your station’s story? Do you know secrets to marketing your audience most effectively through the art form of storytelling?

At the Hispanic Radio Conference, there’s a session for that!

And it’s one that can guide you to driving more dollars to your door. Find out from experts who know how to “sell beyond — and without — numbers” in a panel discussion led by Tomás Martinez, CEO/Owner of Solmart Media.

We guarantee you will learn at least one new way to ring your client’s cash registers — and bring more revenue to your bottom line.
