Recently, there’s been a lot of talk about the relevance of radio advertising. Think about it, radio advertising has been around for almost one-hundred years. You know you've got something good when it lasts a century! With the challenges that advertisers are facing with digital channels, broadcast radio advertising is once again a more appealing alternative.
Here are seven reasons why radio advertising should still be your top choice:
Radio Sells Everywhere
Radio is a completely mobile medium. We listen to the radio in our cars, at work, during workouts, at parties. It’s one of the only forms of advertising that your customers take with them everywhere they go. As a result, radio is a daily habit, but we'll get into that later.
Plus, you can reach consumers during a window of opportunity when they can take immediate action. Picture this: you’re driving your car and hear a coffee advertisement and then see the same coffee sign three miles up the road. It's more compelling to stop in for a quick drink if you've just listened to a relevant advertisement.
Radio Escapes the Clutter
In this day and age, advertisements bombard us. That’s not a bad thing, but it can make it pretty difficult to escape the clutter. Print publications are made up of nearly two-thirds advertisements and television spends about one-third of the time playing commercials. In comparison, radio devotes about 10 minutes on advertising per hour (that’s one-fifth or less)—it is an uncluttered medium.
