How Can You Brand Your Own Radio Show

Branding yourself and your radio show is positioning your logo and name so that people easily recognize it.

A well-known brand is generally regarded as one that people will recognize, even if they do not know about the company or its products/services. These are usually the business’ name or the name of a product, although it can also include the name of a feature or style of a product.

Branding can include a logo, like with Nike; certain colors as the ‘red’ in Target Stores or a catchy name like “Home Depot” or “The Box Shop”.

Brand your show with a name, possible logo, slogan, web site and blog. It’s a way that listeners and potential listeners will recognize your name. The more listeners hear your name, read your blog or see your logo, the more they will remember to tune into your radio show planting radio garden.

If your show is about gardening, Your show is unique and should have a name that connects with your audience while, at the same time, explaining your show topic. So how do you “brand” your name? Show names could be something like “Today’s Gardening”, “Weekend Traveling”, or “Going Fishing”. When you read those titles, you have a good idea of what the show will be about. So pick a name that grabs others, like yourself, who have an interest in that topic.

Pick a website and blog with the same title. You might also think about a slogan, such as “Plant today, grow tomorrow ” or a phrase that reflects your service. Some of the most recognized companies have great slogans.

Who said “Just Do It”? or “Don’t Leave Home Without It”?
