\"radio<\/a>A Loyal Reader Writes:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“I agree 100% with what you say about using e-mail, tweeting, etc., to stay close to your radio listeners.<\/p>\n

“It takes about 10 seconds to reply to a listener e-mail. I try to reply to every one I get and to do it immediately if I’m on-air, and they always seem surprised that I’ve gotten back to them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One suggestion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t reply to the e-mails during your show.<\/p>\n

Doing so suggests that you have time<\/strong> to read and answer e-mails during your radio program.<\/p>\n

Although apparently that’s true for your show, it’s not the best image to present to your listeners.<\/p>\n

They should be under the impression that during your show, you’re busy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Instead, try this:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0<\/strong> Assuming you do have the time, write your individual responses during your show.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0<\/strong> Ten minutes after your show formally ends,<\/em> send all of those individual responses.<\/p>\n

You actually will increase your reply’s impact on the recipient.<\/p>\n

Now it will appear that as soon as your show ended, you checked your e-mail, saw the listener’s message, and responded immediately.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> If you’re going to respond on-air to a current e-mail, that’s different:<\/p>\n

“Got an e-mail from Bob over in Shillington. Says he came to the big picnic on Saturday and wants to know the name of the cute blonde who was handing out the t-shirts….”<\/em><\/p>\n

For that type of on-air response, your listeners don’t assume you’re checking your e-mail during the program. For all they know, you have a huge support staff that scans your messages and forwards only a select few to you. (Yeah, I know: Right. Of course you do….)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
