SLMALiveSM Internet Radio Network
Internet Radio is Different
The format for radio is conversational, not PowerPoint based. It has a guest oriented format that is not scripted. Interview customers, present case studies, talk about new products, discuss the technology, be creative. Your internet radio program is easy to follow via iTunes or on an at-work computer while other work is being done. There are few commercials, but lots of learning moments for the listener. For the show's producers, internet radio keeps giving long after the live event either as a replay or in a dozen other ways.
Internet Radio Reinforces your Brand
You can name the program after you or your company. Or you can invite a broader
audience by naming it after the industry. If you sell exhibits, which is better? ABC
Exhibits Radio or Trade Shows Today Radio? Be creative..
