You Are Not The Target of Your Radio Commercials

We've been reminding clients of this for many years. It's important to remember this when you are evaluating the radio ads your agency creates for your campaign. You are not the target, so listening to your ads through the lens of whether they'd influence YOU to call and buy is the wrong approach.

Seth Godin has a recent post that brings this point home.

"Stop advertising to yourself. You're already sold. You're not the target market."
