How to get 2 months of a corporate business email address for free – [email protected]

Sending emails from your corporate email address like [email protected] helps to enhance your corporate image. The challenge is that if you rely on the email from your website hosting server, you will have issues with being able to have your important business email delivered into the recipient’s inbox, most often the email goes to spam or is not delivered at all, because your website hosting server is not an email server, Hence the reason serious business people host the corporate email on a proper email server.

But with the naira sliding downwards against the US Dollars on daily bases I can understand the negative impact it is having on your business!

We had a client who is right where you are now some months back, the client had 48 staff and all had corporate email addresses at $6 per user per month which is $72 per year. And $72 x 48 = $3,456 (Three thousand four hundred and fifty-six dollars), as at the time he wanted to renew with the previous provider the exchange rate was 655/$1 and he was to pay N2,263,680.

When I told him we could save him a million naira, you can understand the joy, we migrated his account to another corporate email provider that charge just $25 per year, $25 x 48 user = $1200, 00 x N655 = N786, 000.

We actually saved him N1, 477,680 (One million four hundred and seventy-seven thousand six hundred and eighty naira)

You are losing lots of money using an expensive corporate email address provider because they show you lots of other features when in reality what you and your staff use is just an email.

My kind advice to you.

If you don’t want to switch to a more affordable email platform, another thing you can do is create a corporate email address for only the senior staff names, and for the rest of the staff create a department-based corporate email address.

For your admin department for example, instead of creating a corporate email address with an individuals names like [email protected], create [email protected], With that method, you will save money in two ways

1. If you have 2 people in admin both will use one email and enter their names when they are sending an email.
2. If anyone resigns and you employ another person you don’t have to pay for a new email account for the new staff, the person will just continue from where the other staff left off, that way no communication will be lost as well.

Corporate email address price comparison in Nigeria

The only difference is that the first two have some other features like Video, Documents, Spreadsheet, etc. But you can get all those other features at no cost online and offline.

If you have up to 5 staff you are most likely losing lots of money yearly, and it will continue to increase as long as the Naira continues to slide downwards against the US Dollars.

Take action today and save more money you can channel into other important parts of your business.

Radio advertising in Nigeria is a form of marketing strategy that uses the radio both traditional stations, and satellite and internet radio to boost a product or service.

It is a less costly form of advertising in many cases, compared to that of television advertising.

With the advancement in technology, radio advertisements are becoming improved when it comes to quality.

Regardless of the competition from other modes of advertisement, Nielson Audio reports that 243 million people listen to the radio and also listen to advertisements on the radio.

 Radio advertising in Nigeria has proven to be an outstanding medium for reaching audiences through its high penetration levels and repetition.

Radio adverts are also highly memorable and gives rise to excellent consumer recall and a high call to action.

Empire can propose the best stations for your target audience and objectives within Nigeria and help you project your radio adverts from start to finish.

Let’s dive into some radio advertising basics to help small businesses be quick-witted with how they buy radio adverts.

FORMAT FOR RADIO ADVERTISING IN NIGERIA

The format decides the audience the station appeals to and the message it delivers to advertisers.

Some of the most common radio advertising formats include:

• Progressive rock
• Alternative
• Classic Rock
• Golden oldies
• Christian Rock
• News and Talk Radio
• Classical
• Adult contemporary
• Easy Listening

ADVANTAGES OF RADIO ADVERTISING IN NIGERIA

Some people may think that radio advertising is becoming more outdated because of the prevalence of the internet and other related advertising platforms.

However, this is not the case millions of people all over the country are still listening to the radio, with the majority of them listening from inside their vehicle or at their home.

Many companies are still administering marketing budgets to the radio to take advantage of the benefits listed below.

• Selective Targeting

Each radio station within your market will target specific demographics and market segments.  These are usually designated by the programming, type of music being played, the on-air personality, and what time of day your radio advertising will run.

• Increased Frequency

Radio advertising is described by many as a frequency medium. This means that radio relies on repetition, aka frequency of message to be effective, unlike television advertising which relies on reach and visual presentation.

Playing your advertisement numerous times (some say it takes 3 times hearing a spot before you internalize it, acknowledge it, and remember it) will ensure that your listeners will be familiar with your product or service.

• More Memorable

Radio advertisements can be more extraordinary compared to written and visual adverts. According to researchers, sound can be stored effectively inside memory for a longer time than visuals. This is why some companies are doing their best to design a memorable jingle that will stick in the minds of those who will listen to it.

• Cost-Effective

Radio advertising is cost-effective when compared to that of television and print advertisements. Usually, the cost to design the spot if you don’t have one will be included in the radio advertising campaign’s price.

• Short Time to Market

When creating a television or print advertisement, the time frame needed to create a single commercial or print ad would span for weeks or even months. However, with radio advertisement, a radio host can advertise the product or service in a split-second.

DISADVANTAGES OF RADIO ADVERTISING IN NIGERIA

• Poor Attentiveness

One of the most common disadvantages of advertising on the radio is the poor attentiveness of the people who are listening. Many people are either changing channels on their radio when driving or are too absorbed on the road to pay attention to what is being said on the radio.

• Lack Of Visual Appeal

Compared to television which uses the sense of sight and sound, radio advertising only influences one of the five senses sounds.

One way to offset this is to make use of additional advertising channels that the radio station has such as buying ads on their website or for sponsorships at events.

• Buying Spots Can Be Challenging

Radio stations have regional sales reps that also profer spots to bigger brands. Often, these spots are organized far in advance and take inventory away from new advertisers; thus, sometimes the process of obtaining the spot you want when inventory is low can be difficult.

We suggest using a unique phone number or website address that can only be attributed to the radio advertisement. This will help you better track the feedback you’re getting from your radio advertising.

BRT BRANDING: An Efficient Advertising Strategy

It is not uncommon to quickly skip video adverts playing online or change the channel when a particular advert runs on your TV station. But avoiding the sight of a moving bus when stuck in traffic or about to catch a bus at the park is impossible.

BRT buses are a common thing in all Lagos Roads with a teaming population of about 60 percent working class plying the roads daily to make ends meet. With a structure that makes it stands out among other transit media in Lagos, BRT buses are sometimes considered a luxury transit as it affords their commuters comfort and speedy movement to their destinations.

It is very common to say that the city of Lagos is the commercial heartbeat of the whole of west Africa with a densely populated environment, high commuters on the road networks giving rise to stopovers, and several traffic posts and lamp posts on the roads.

The importance and effectiveness of BRT Bus Branding and Advertising cannot be undermined in Nigeria, especially Lagos.

The BRT BUSES uniqueness lies in the fact that it goes out to meet its customers as against its, Wall drapes, Light-boxes, Unipolar, and other Bus Shelter counterparts that are stationed in one place.

BRT Bus branding is a cost-effective way to turn the promotional bus into a professional and high-impact, mobile advertisement. Wherever the bus travels within Lagos you’ll be building the brand or promoting the campaign.

It also provides your business with a moving advertisement at very affordable prices. It is, therefore, safe to say that BRT Bus Branding is an intelligent investment when it comes to advertising.

These buses are branded on two sides (both) ends, and even the rear is used for advert branding, making other motorists and people around see the message that you are passing across.

The structure and colors of the BRT buses allow a colorful sight to commuters when it passes by, which makes it seen from various angles. They can be checked and monitored for the purpose of ensuring that serves the right audience with the advertising objectives.
