20 Insight #1 Referrals are the #1 source of new business for most Accounting and Tax Services firms. Referrals come from a variety of sources – local CPA boards and associations, networking events, friends, co-workers and colleagues. In local markets, personal relationships are the key to success. When dealing with a local firm, clients come to the professional, not the firm. Relationships, Relationships, Relationships! Source: AICPA, AAM (Association of Accounting Marketers)

21 Idea: Seal of Approval Together, Advertiser X and Radio station partner to identify a trusted base of local endorsers to speak on behalf of Advertiser X to refer their services to the community at large.

At the end of each spot, the personality will say Advertiser X has my Seal of Approval.

23 Seal of Approval How it works: Advertiser X identifies clients to be interviewed for a :60 vignette which will rotate with the personality endorsements. –Spots can be introduced by the personality, for example: –If you dont trust my Advertiser X Seal of Approval give a listen to what Joe Smith, Owner of Smiths Hardware has to say about Advertiser X, Joe – tell me how Advertiser X has impacted your business…

24 Insight #2 Visibility in the local Community Professionals in local firms need to be involved in their local community.
