Here’s a Dirty Little Secret...
There is a tremendous amount of money wasted by lazy businesspeople on advertising that doesn’t sell.
Precious money is wasted--even in today’s unforgiving economy by businesspeople who don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to advertising and are too lazy to find out. Why?
Well, for starters, many businesspeople buy the conventional nonsense that when it comes to media and advertising, “bigger is better.”
In actuality, for someone like you, nothing could be further from the truth.
Mass media like newspapers, magazines, broadcast television and “terrestrial” radio are designed to appeal to the “masses” rather than a select group of listeners, viewers or readers. And if you are selling services or products that relate specifically to the shooting sports, you really have no interest in reaching the “general” public. You want to reach the shooting enthusiast and only the shooting enthusiast. That’s where Gun For Hire Radio can help you.
By using targeted Internet radio you can isolate those potential customers you wish to speak to and not waste time and money talking to the whole world like you do in mass media advertising.
Moreover, you can speak directly to your customer... bypassing all the intermediaries.
It’s a specialty marketers dream come true every listener to Gun For Hire Radio is your potential customer. There’s absolutely no waste of your precious marketing money.
Effective advertising is about reaching the right audience, at the right time, with the right message. From your own personal experience you know this to be true.
Gun for Hire Radio delivers the exact right audience (because our content and programing is targeted directly at shooters), at the right time (listeners listen to our programming more intently and with minimal distractions because they are listening at a time of their own choosing), with the right message, yours!

subscribers every week and via syndication to a rapidly expanding worldwide
audience of shooting enthusiasts in 195 countries throughout the world.
The show is targeted to appeal to the growingly diverse and rapidly expanding, global
“shooting enthusiast” market, which has experienced unprecedented, growth more
than quadrupling in size since November 2008.
Why Internet Radio?
People listen to internet radio and audio downloads much differently than they listen to terrestrial radio (whose content is governed by the government and the new regulations of the “Fairness Doctrine”) or Satellite Radio (Sirius and XM) whose audience is limited only to paid subscribers and whose broadcast schedule competes with hundreds of other scheduled broadcasts.
Internet Radio listeners make a conscious decision to listen to the programing they are most interested in, at a time when it is most convenient for them. This makes them a better, more attentive and dedicated listener. Listeners of this caliber what marketer’s call “hyper-responsive,” meaning that they are intently interested in and demonstratively responsive to everything involving their interest, including the products and services that they need.
Distribution and Syndication:
Gun For Hire Radio is syndicated internationally via license agreements with Apple itunes and Zune, and is made available to subscribers in enhanced mp3 format for direct download through the show’s website.
Previous shows are also available to the listener via download through searchable archive on the show website. As a Gun For Hire Radio sponsor this benefits you by giving you the ability to reach an explosively growing, lucrative market of new shooters who subscribe every week.
