Best Way To Re-Introduce A Philadelphia Small Business To Consumers

Jun 5, 2020 2:55:29 PM / by Larry Julius

Delaware Valley small business owners are learning that 're-opening' may not be an appropriate word for the challenges they face as the Coronavirus crisis winds down.  A better term might be 're-introducing'.

Since the Governor of Pennsylvania shuttered the state on March 17 to slow the spread of COVID-19, Philadelphia area consumers have discovered new ways to buy the goods and services they need.  It's now the burden of local business owners to lure these customers back. The first step is re-introduction.

In 1922, three local retailers each put a Philadelphia radio station on the air.  These included John Wanamaker's WOO, Strawbridge & Clothier's WFI, and Gimbel Brothers' WIP. Since then, local business owners have used radio advertising to introduce themselves successfully to new customers. Radio has also helped these businesses survive recessions, depressions, world wars, flooding, and blizzards. By any metric, advertising on Philadelphia radio remains the most effective tactic a small business owner can use post-pandemic, as well.

Advertising On A Budget? Why Philadelphia Radio Makes Sense.

Nov 26, 2019 1:40:39 PM / by Larry Julius

Over the next 12 months, Delaware Valley  consumers are expected to spend $103.4 billion at retail.  To capture a larger share of this cash,  local small business owners should consider advertising.

The US Small Business Administration recommends that every SWFL small business advertise consistently.  “Think you have a great product?” asks the SBA. “Unfortunately, no one’s going to know about it unless you advertise.”  The SBA goes on to say, “Advertising, if done correctly, can do wonders for your product sales, and you know what that means: more revenue and more success for your business."

Local business owners have depended on Philadelphia radio advertising to market their goods and services since 1922. That's the year three local retailers each put a Philadelphia radio station on the air.  These included John Wanamaker's WOO, Strawbridge & Clothier's WFI, and Gimbel Brothers' WIP.

Today, Philadelphia radio, by any key advertising metric, is still the best way for business owners to reach local consumers.
