If there's one thing a small business could use, it's exposure. Advertising is so expensive, and even though you have to spend money to make money....there's not always extra money to spend. So when we heard a pretty big Chicago radio station was having a contest to give away around $20,000 of advertising time to local small businesses, we jumped at the chance.
To be honest we had kind of forgotten about it when we got the call. I mean, who figures they are going to win a radio contest? But it turns out we are one of 12 finalists. I think 4 of the 12 will each get the advertising on the station, which will end up being close to a month's worth of commercials. Obviously we could never afford this, since we debate whether or not to take out ads for a couple of hundred bucks, so this is an amazing opportunity.
So to win, we will need your help. Each of the 12 finalists recorded a video explaining who they are and what they do, and the videos will be posted on the station's (WNUA) website. Listeners will go to the site and vote for who they think is most deserving....sort of like American Idol for small business owners. The videos are not up yet, but when they are we would really appreciate it if all would take the time to vote for us.
Once the videos are up we will let you know. Thanks.
