NEW VIEW Radio Advert

Download the Script

Community radio is great channel for getting the word out about VIEW in your local community. VIEW National Office were recently inspired by Lithgow VIEW Club’s radio advertisement about joining VIEW in their area. We know that some other clubs have also crafted their own local advertisements.

To assist clubs in trying this advertising approach, a 30-second radio script has been developed that can be used by clubs as the basis for their own advertisement with local radio stations. Clubs are also encouraged to customise the script to include their local message. Once Clubs have a script, or a good quality recording, they should contact their local community radio station and ask them about including it in their advertising segments.

We have also produced a ready to go recording that clubs can submit to local radio stations if they prefer!
