Non-traditional revenue, ready to sell
Pick a month. Pick a category. Walk out with a finished promotion — the concept, the one-sheet you hand the advertiser, a rate card you set, the scripts, and a demo voiced in your own station’s sound.
Priced on the page. No demo call, no annual contract.

The actual problem
It’s that every month starts with four unanswered questions: what do I sell, to whom, for how much, and what do I hand them? By the time an AE has invented an idea, written the copy, guessed a price and built a one-sheet, the month is half gone — so they sell another spot schedule instead.
RevBuddy answers all four before the call. That’s the entire product.
One object, seven parts
Every promotion arrives complete and moves through your pipeline as a single thing — idea, pitched, sold, on the air, recapped. Nothing to assemble.
What it is, in the words a seller would actually say out loud.
The leave-behind, branded to your station and named to the advertiser.
Sponsor tiers with a starting number. You set the price.
Sponsor open, feature bed, sponsor close. 15s, 30s and 60s.
Voiced in your station's own sound, so the AE plays it in the room.
Entry page, keyword, ballot or gallery — and every entrant captured.
What the advertiser is shown at the end. The reason they renew.
Who to call first, the objection they'll raise, and the answer.
What one campaign returns
Every campaign carries a sponsorship ladder, not a single price. The low end assumes the least you’d realistically sell — the number you can put in front of a GM without walking it back. The high end is the campaign sold out.
| Position | Price | Positions | Subtotal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Title | $3,500 | ×1 | $3,500 |
| Associate | $1,500 | ×2–4 | $3,000–$6,000 |
| Community | $200 | ×10–15 | $2,000–$3,000 |
| One campaign, one market of 50,000 people | $8,500–$12,500 | ||
Real numbers from a real 50,000-person market, not a model. Bigger markets carry more per position — but not more positions, because nowhere has room for forty title sponsors.
You set every one of these. Ours is a starting number, labelled as a suggestion, and the moment you type your own the advertiser one-sheet quotes yours.
The second sale
Premium campaigns ask the questions that matter to that advertiser’s business, so the recap isn’t a pile of entries. Here’s a real HVAC campaign narrowing 1,100 entrants to the people a contractor should actually phone:
homeowners with a dying furnace who raised their hand is a different conversation from “we ran 75 promos.” One of those two renews.
Category logic ships for HVAC, automotive, roofing, mortgage, real estate and dental — each with its own questions and its own definition of qualified.
The selling calendar
46 sellable occasions, each traced to the organisation that actually runs it — so your AE can say “the EPA designates January National Radon Action Month” and have it be true. Dates are stored as rules, not dates, so the calendar can’t go stale.

Seasonal — not a formal observance
Farm stations get their own year on top of this one — FFA Week, National Ag Week, Farm Safety and Health Week, the Farm Progress Show — because a farm broadcaster’s September is not a general-market September.
Every entry is also marked for how it may be used. Some months carry observances a station should acknowledge and never monetise — and RevBuddy says so, before someone books a giveaway against Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
The closer
Claim a promotion for your DMA and it disappears from every other station’s catalog here — not greyed out with an upsell, not “already taken”. Absent. The station across town never learns what you’re about to sell them.
It’s also why there’s no annual contract. Your claim lives as long as your subscription does.
Rolling Best Of
The traditional Best Of is forty categories, months of selling, one revenue spike and a sales team that dreads it. RevBuddy runs one industry a month, timed to a reason to call. Ten categories at $300 plus a presenting sponsor is $4,500 in a single month — and your database grows all year instead of once.

Or buy one and try it
| No subscription | Subscriber | |
|---|---|---|
| essentials | $299 | $199 |
| premium | $439 | $299 |
Buy a campaign outright to see what you’re getting. Buy three in a year and the subscription would have been cheaper — which is rather the point.
Monthly only, and no contract. Your market claims are held by an active subscription — which is also why cancelling hands them to the station across town. A single campaign sold at the ladder above returns more than a year of this.
Where this sits
Campaign platforms
Give you an empty builder and wish you luck coming up with something to put in it.
Syndicators
Give you a finished idea you can't change, in audio a hundred other stations are airing.
Sales research
Gives you background on the category and no way to execute anything.
RevBuddy is the only one where the idea, the collateral, the audio, the campaign and the leads are the same object — one thing a seller moves from idea to invoice.
If the honest answer is “spots”, that’s the gap.
