Multiply Your Advertising Impact with Broadcast Radio
Although streaming services and satellite radio have certainly made an impact on people, millions of listeners of all ages still turn to broadcast radio daily. In fact, 91% of people over the age of 12 hear radio broadcasts each week, and 67% of that group listens to radio daily. Therefore, being present with on-air advertising is an important strategy for savvy marketers.
Radio runs 24 hours per day, seven days per week, so there is always someone there to get your messaging and learn more about your business, every time your advertising plays on-air over broadcast radio.
Awareness
Radio Survives Where Other Media Fails
A struggle that many businesses have faced is that traditional media forms have seen a significant decline in audience in recent years. Newspapers and magazines, once critical platforms for advertising for businesses, are closing in record numbers and losing enormous numbers of subscribers. This decline has removed a major outlet for companies looking to connect with customers.
Radio is different. Radio has retained a listenership even when audiences for other forms of traditional media have vanished. Radio remains a reliable outlet for advertising, and it can be particularly impactful for local businesses trying to connect with active customers in their own backyards.
Consideration
Radio and the Multiplier Effect
Radio advertising makes all your other advertising more valuable. Why? Audio activates a different part of the brain than visual advertising. Combining audio advertising via on-air radio ads with digital marketing increases the recognition of your digital ads, multiplying their effectiveness.
There are other benefits to radio advertising, including:
- Radio ads have been proven to encourage customers to visit company websites.
- You can reach customers in different parts of the purchase process at one time.
- Ads run at different times of the day on radio’s 24-hour schedule let you target different audiences with a single ad.
- Your message gets to customers when they are nearby your business to make a purchase.
