This consistent reach and reliability make Radio Samoa a trusted voice in the community. Fa'afetai le tautua Radio Samoa."

From businesses that advertise with us
Weekly programmes that brought new client opportunities
"As a qualified member of the legal professional for 38 years, I have witnessed the benefits of using Radio Samoa weekly programmes…to raise awareness, and connect me with people who require legal services that has contributed to new client opportunities
Radio Samoa plays a valuable role beyond broadcasting… a vital communication channel that informs, educates, connects, and empowers our community. I would encourage other professionals, organisations, and businesses to consider Radio Samoa as an effective platform to reach and serve the Samoan community. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of Radio Samoa and continue to make a positive difference in our community"
A huge uptake in clients from the Samoan community
"Definitely a huge uptake since been on Radio Samoa — the number of clients from the Samoan community has increased and I believe will continue to increase. It has given my business good exposure in the Samoan community."
A good turnover for our small business
"Oka se matagofie o le auaunaga. Without our Radio Samoa, who would know our small business, from the four corners of NZ? Faafetai Radio Samoa ua e faalauiloa le taugofie o le matou foi auaunaga. Without Radio Samoa's service, no one would know where we are. Faafetai Tavai ma le team atoa uma lava a le Radio Samoa. It was a good turnover for us. cheers."
Listeners stop me at community and fundraising events
"I have had the privilege of recording a Radio ad, and some Live interviews with Radio Samoa media staff and the hosts. Now I have been made aware that there are a great group of listeners. My husband advised me that his family mentioned the ads and interviews to him over a family lunch recently. I have also had listeners stop me at community and fundraising events to ask for help with Problem Gambling or have a conversation about the ad or interview. It is wonderful that the commercials and discussions are reaching out to the Community to help them, but I also see how Radio Samoa is connecting with people. Our community love the humour, the content, the cultural messages for us as Samoans here in New Zealand, and finally but more importantly the Christian messages that flow through the day and night from the Presenters and Guests. Love all this!"
Nine years, three preschools, a roll that grew year after year
"For nine years, Radio Samoa has been far more than just a marketing platform for our preschools, they have been family and trusted partners in our journey. From our first preschool Fetu Taiala Aoga Amata in Māngere to filling our second centre Fetu Aolele Multicultural ECE Service and expanding into Manurewa with our third Fetu Moana Aoga Amata, Radio Samoa has stood with us every step of the way.
Whether through weekly radio ads, sharing our newsletters, or promoting our educational programmes online, they gave us a direct bridge to our people. Because of them, our families learned about the value of what we do in Aoga Amata, and our roll grew year after year.
We will never forget the times when finances were tight. The faletua Ane Ponifasio, the director, always met us with grace, compassion, and understanding, ensuring we could always find an affordable arrangement to keep our message on the airwaves.
Fa'afetai tele lava to Ane and the incredible Radio Samoa team for believing in our vision for our children and always working hand-in-hand with us to serve our community."
