Why should you promote your business with Sonshine?
DAVID SNELL
“Hi I’m David Snell from One Agency North. I’ve partnered with 98five over the past few years. The reason I choose to promote my business with 98five, is because I believe in what the station is all about. The listeners who have become my clients have been trustworthy, loyal, exactly the kind of people I was hoping to reach. As a result of our partnership, my business has improved and indeed prospered. For business people thinking about getting involved with 98five, I’d say go for it!”
WORKCLAIMS AUSTRALIA
“Hello, it’s Patrick Mullally here from Workclaims Australia. When the 98five team reached out to me as a small business owner, I didn’t know if Radio was the best fit, but I sat down with the team and heard them out. They took into account my budget, and helped me set out a plan to achieve my business goals. That meeting was over 2 years ago now, and the return on investment I’ve seen, makes it one of the best marketing decisions I’ve made! 98five has helped me grow my business, let them help you grow yours! ”
SPECTRUM FAMILY EYECARE
“Hi, I’m Paul from Spectrum Family Eye Care, the Optometrists in Armadale. I’ve done advertising on the radio through 98.5 for quite a few years now and to be honest, it’s probably one of the best returns that I can get. I like the people, the company, and what they stand for. ”
