Team VADA Radio Spot

We are seeing many good signs of a turn in the market. And there is clearly a heightened sense of awareness regarding the Federal Government’s “Cash For Clunkers” program.

In order to help you take advantage of this opportunity, Team VADA has developed a new radio spot for your use which we have posted on our website. Cox Radio in Richmond has been very supportive of VADA and our Dealer Members over the past year and once again they have stepped up and produced this spot for us at no cost.

Cox Radio is also running the spot in regular rotation on their four radio stations in Richmond as a public service. We encourage you to contact your local radio stations and ask them to do likewise.

During the economic downturn, most radio stations have excess airtime inventory. Many stations are using this airtime to support some of their most important clients: you!

The spot is available on our website in an MP3 format which you can download and provide to your local radio stations for their use. Alternatively, you can forward this email to a representative of the radio station and they can download the spot directly.
