PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT
WMBM ADVERTISING OPTIONS’ RESULTS
“Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to promote my business on
WMBM. I just wanted to let you know that my on location event was a
huge success. Sales increased by 50% over the previous weekend, and I
credit this to my appearance on AM 1490. WMBM will always be my
station of choice and will continue to receive my advertising dollars.”
Perlina Robinson, co-owner TWO CUTE AFROCENTRIC
“I made the decision to become an advertising sponsor of WMBM’s
MORNING GLORY SHOW. I felt that since I have been one of those loyal
listeners, there must be thousands of other listeners who are as faithful as I
am. We worked with you to come up with just the right pricing, text and
phrases for just the right touch and sound. Since our sponsorship our
telephones have been ringing non-stop. We started to track the numbers and
we are now logging more than 300 calls per day, compared to pre-advertising
of approximately 150 calls per day. Additionally, our walk in applicant flow
has increased by 30%. My staff and I would like to praise, recommend and
thank the entire WMBM staff for their professionalism and expertise.”
Veldrin Dee Freemon, President and CEO, AIA EMPLOYMENT
OF MIAMI
“I got several calls from my ad in the Purple Pages. Actually
several of them turned into great and ongoing clients for me.”
Reginald Woods, Owner, Heavenly Care Lawn Service
“I advertised in the directory to support WMBM; a pleasant bonus
to that support was the number of phone calls I received
because of my ad. The WMBM Purple Pages was a good
choice and people did respond to it.”
