Radio advertising a washout in Uralla Times tale
A local business man testifies that radio ads for women's night apparel failed. After air promos, one caller said she heard it on radio, but sales depended on newspaper ads in The Times. The experiment led to a complete sellout of the line, prompting calls for a new approach. Similar Brisbane cases reported mixed results with radio versus print advertising. More examples from North Coast and Gloucester events are noted.
