Format of the BAN Radio Show
First, select the package that best suits your needs and complete the payment process below. If you are a community leader or business owner, we will discuss your business and any new products, services or events that you offer. We will discuss the show or panel discussion before it airs to ensure we give the audience what they need to know about you.
Once you've selected your package as an author or publisher, submit your promotional material to the EDC Creations team, and your show will be scheduled.
If you are hosting a panel discussion or showcasing members of an organization, you will receive a welcome packet with custom instructions.
Next, prepare for your interview by selecting a 5-minute PG-rated excerpt from your book to read during the show. Plan to engage in a lively interview where you can discuss your book in detail and interact with callers at the end of the show. Social media giveaways can be held to encourage listeners to share the archived radio show.
Ella D. Curry will then notify her social media networks and RSS feed subscribers about your upcoming appearance. Your book will be promoted on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and through the EDC Creations newsletter for 60 days, ensuring extensive visibility.
