I have been looking for a way to take our auction into the 21st century, but couldn't find a way to do it that would have the success that I need to justify it. When I found Scott Murray at Big Deals, I knew that it was the perfect platform for our stations. We are two weeks in and have done as much business as we would do in an entire quarter our old way and you can feel the buzz it is generating. The set-up was a breeze, the training on the Sales end and the software end was top notch and the follow-up was better than even my very high expectations was expecting. Thanks Scott and the folks at Big Deals!
We got rocked during the recession of 2008 and 2009, losing over 100 active advertisers over the two year period... nearly all of them small businesses. We hired Big Deals because of their intense focus on small business. Within 12 months we created 118 new business relationships, all on contract, and generated over $300,000 annually. Big Deals delivers a complete sales, marketing, and software system.
One of the things we liked most about the Big Deals business model was the idea that cash should be included in every advertiser program. So when our e-commerce site went live we had 50 advertisers signed up, all on a minimum 3 month agreement and we booked $30,000 in cash commitments before selling our first gift certificate!
BDM has been amazing to work with. They really value the partnership aspect of the relationship. They really care about the affiliate. They want them to be successful with their program. BDM has gone beyond words on the agreement paper for us. They really made us feel like we were their only client.
Big Deals has opened up a brand new revenue stream. Businesses that weren't able to put together a decent marketing campaign now have that ability and we still get paid. Over the first year we had 56 businesses and 55 of those were new or additional money.
Partnering with Big Deals Media was the best decision I've made in several years. Our online e-commerce program had become stale and ineffective, but with Scott's and leadership and in-market sales training our sales are off the charts and we're back to generating some serious revenue.
We had been doing our own version of e-commerce called B-BAY in our market (Brainerd, MN) for several years before your approached us with Big Deals. We thought we had been fairly successful and wondered if your format would increase sales. I'm glad to inform you that we have tripled our sales since implementing the Big Deals format. We follow your monthly marketing model and incorporate suggested copy which is voiced by Stacey, our B-Bay spokesperson, along with all the monthly promotions. It's been a "Home Run". Thanks for your persistence and keep up the good work!
Sometimes it's hard to think outside the box. After spending time with other affiliates at the conference, we realised we were leaving money on the table with many clients. We are a locally owned three station group. Some of our clients don't have cash in the budget for all three. Now we are getting it by adding in Big Deals. Big Deals is unlike anything else- you will reap what you invest. Start by attending the conference, then watch your AE's hit the streets running when you get back!
As I see it, Big Deals Media is the most exciting improvement in radio sales since the first time I learned about TOMA in 1998. I doubled my income in less than one year. Most of those clients I signed up on long term TOMA contracts 21 years ago are still on the air. It's worked well for them and for us at KSTV. I believe we will experience similar results with your Big Deals Media program.
After a year of COVID, obviously, like most stations sales were down. In March we opened our Big Deals store and it has helped us actually meet our goal after about 16 months of being down. As we bounce back, it will be the reason we are above our sales goals.
Big Deals is going to get you money that you are never going to get otherwise. There are some clients who simply don't have the budgets to buy radio effectively. Big Deals makes it so they CAN buy radio and will get great results buying radio. I've run Big Deals Stores in 4 different markets, the answer has been the same in every one of them; it works. It's both a great piece of software AND a sales system that will help you find new clients.
BIG Deals Media has been a game changer for us.
We’ve generated significantly more revenue since partnering with BIG Deals Media, and the software has made it simple to manage promotions, marketing, and sales all in one place. The platform is easy to use and delivers real results.
Scott and the entire team have been incredible to work with — always responsive, supportive, and full of great ideas to help us grow. Their partnership goes far beyond software; they truly care about our success.
We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results!
Our Big Deals stores are a very big part of our monthly revenue! Apart from bringing money, it also allows our stations to connect with local business owners and support our local economy. We love that it keeps dollars in our community, offers great deals to our listeners, and helps local businesses thrive. It shows that our stations are invested in our community.
Big Deals has been instrumental in my professional growth as a radio account executive. From the beginning, success with Big Deals provided the confidence and resources I needed to build meaningful partnerships with local restaurants, retailers, and other local businesses. Within my first year, I was promoted to Big Deals Manager for four Wisconsin markets — a direct reflection of the opportunities and support this program offers. Scott and the entire Big Deals administrative team have been exceptional partners, consistently seeking new ways to strengthen and enhance an already outstanding program.
Proven effective in large, medium, and small markets alike.
