Why Does Radio Work For YOUR Business?
Radio is an effective advertising medium because it’s 100% audio-based. The advertiser’s message can resonate in the consumer’s ears with proper voice acting, sound design, and copy. A radio ad is cost-efficient, targeted, easy to track, and extremely effective if done properly.
10 Ways how Brumside Radio could increase your business revenue.
- Radio Reaches a Huge Audience
The number of people listening to radio is continuing to increase. over 10 million people listen to a commercial radio station for at least one hour every week of the year.
- Radio is Targeted
Radio allows messages to be tailored and localised to each audience. Each radio station is operated with specific market segments in mind, so your product or service will be advertised to your exact target market.
- Radio Cuts Through
Radio is the medium that people spend most time with throughout the day, providing opportunities for a message to reach its audience. People carry out a wide range of activities while listening to the radio. And media surveys always show that radio listeners are far less likely to “tune out” when ads come on the radio, compared to television. Ask yourself – how often do you change channels or get up from your seat when the ads come on TV? Do you do the same while listening to the radio?
- Radio is the Anywhere, Anytime Medium
Given radio’s portability, advertisers have the opportunity to reach people on the go, giving them an edge over competitors. The accessibility enables listening to occur in places that other media may have difficulty reaching, for example your target customers don’t read a newspaper or magazine whilst driving, nor do they watch TV whilst working in the garden. Today, radio even overlaps with digital media via downloadable radio station apps.
- Radio Is the Pulse of the Community
Radio is live and local so it reflects the community. People listen to the radio to find out what is happening now in their community such as special events, news, traffic updates, weather reports, sport and entertainment. It’s more local than global.
- Radio Offers Promotional Opportunities
A “live broadcast” at your location, sampling your product on air, running a competition. Promotions can be hard to do with social media, print or television, but radio can offer this sort of target involvement at an affordable price. And it can really personalize your product or service to your target customer.
- Radio is Influential
Radio is the medium to build top-of-mind awareness – for example, careful time placement of ads can have a real impact. Studies show that radio content influences people, because they feel they are hearing it from a “friend” and referrals are always the best type of sales opportunity.
- Radio Reaches Your Target Customers
with Frequency Advertising works by repetition. Your target customer may well need to hear your commercial three or four times before they respond to your call to action. To reach this level of frequency, radio advertising is usually more cost effective than other media. People choose to listen to radio – they want to listen and be engaged and they listen on average to almost 15 hours of commercial radio each week.
- Radio is Flexible and Immediate
Radio commercials can be created quickly without the production and delays of other media. Copy can be produced and revised at short notice. A radio advertising campaign can be up and running within a week.
- Radio Provides a Strong Call-To-Action
Radio commercials can be selectively scheduled by day-part and weekday, enabling messages to be delivered close to purchase. Listeners can act on an advertiser’s message and participate in station competitions.
