take on 24/7 operation, although our experience over many years of RSLs was
that we could always sell spots locally to cover our licence costs even though
I was never sure the shops got more customers! The basic rate was around
50 quid excluding production (1980's - 90's) for 28 days (cash up
front!). One thing no one has mentioned I think, we closed down a few
shops, or rather, they were using radio as a last gasp attempt! Another
thing, don't let anyone tell you that small scale commercial radio is bad
competition - we certainly generated customers for ILR after we introduced them
to radio advertising.<br>

not then raise the list price. If it does cover COS then at

Value is not a number. Sometimes, as Nick pointed out so graphically,
some prospective customers cannot see the value (even if you gave it to them
for free!). Equally, as Alan points out rising the price can work.
I often recount the story of how Remington increased the price for its
electric razors and gained more customers because people associated the
low price with low value. Raising the price raised the perceived
value. </span></font></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
