Key Insights:
“When we on radio, sales go up and when we don’t, sales go down. We use radio almost 40 weeks of the year. 25%-30% of our expenditure is on radio. Television is, of course, more expensive so it has to be used very very wisely.
Radio is much more cost-efficient and it’s much more effective. It creates urgency, is very flexible and it drives people to the stores.”
