PRLog (Press Release) – May 11, 2009 – Glastonbury Radio has today launched an FREE ADVERTISING offer to entice the big ad agencies to bring their clients to online digital radio and see the worth of "an audience surfing the web whilst listening with a credit card in their hands"

Managing Director Ross Hemsworth said today "until now, advertisers and agencies have seen radio mainly as a brand awareness tool rather than a producer of actual sales as FM stations are often listened to whilst people are on the move. However with online radio our listeners are surfing the web with their credit cards in their hands and are capable of an immediate purchase if the ad is enticing enough"

The new "FREE" deal means that bigger blue chip companies can get a month's free advertising to test the marketplace before committing any budget, such is the belief of Glastonbury Radio! It is certainly a ground-breaking wya of showing how good the product is!

Glastonbury Radio broadcasts to a large global audience from professional studios in Glastonbury Town Centre and have former Radio One presenter Paul Burnett amongst their presentation team as well as being a shareholder in the company.

Ross continued "many companies are now advertising online with some success, but they still think of online radio networks as 'bedroom DJ's' whereas many are now extremely professional with a loyal following. Also, we have an interaction rate of 1 in 5, unlike FM who have an interaction rate more like 1 in 100!"

We are entering a new era of broadcasting and online digital radio is the future. We hope that this offer will bring the bigger companies to the many online radio networks that are now available to the world audience.
