 In a recent article, [Small Business Builds Trust By Advertising on Fayetteville Radio](https://blog.advertiseinfayetteville.com/small-business-builds-trust-by-advertising-on-fayetteville-radio), Walter White, Vice President of Lumbee River EMC, was asked why his company has been advertising on Fayetteville radio non-stop for 16 years. "The local on-air personalities are like gods in the community," he says. "They have earned the trust and reflect the values of their listeners.”

Results of new survey\* show, in fact, radio is the most trusted medium in America. Decidedly, so. Here is what the survey found:

More people trust radio than any other medium. When broken down, radio is:

#### Trust Correlates With Reach

Listeners' trust in radio correlates with the medium's extensive reach among Fayettville consumers.

Attorney [Nicole Cotton](https://blog.advertiseinfayetteville.com/local-attorney-uses-advertising-on-fayetteville-radio-to-build-small-business) has been advertising on Fayetteville radio since she opened her own firm in 2010.

“I used my radio advertising to build my personal brand,” recalls Ms. Cotton. “I wanted everybody to believe they could talk to me and I would listen. So, I used my own voice in every commercial to tell people that, like my name, Cotton, I was soft enough to listen and to care. But I was also tough enough to get things done.”

In the early days of her practice, Ms. Cotton limited her radio advertising to a single, mass-appeal Fayetteville radio station. “As my practice has diversified, though, I now use multiple stations. I need to go where my clients are listening.”

Recently, another Fayetteville small business owner asked Ms. Cotton’s advice about using local radio. “To be successful, it’s important to let customers know you’re an option. Your competitors are already out there. You need to be on the radio to let the community know you are here and what you do that is unique.”

“Advertising on the radio,” Ms. Cotton concludes, “gives your business credibility.”
