| Q: Why should I advertise on the radio? |
| Your market listens to the radio. |
| The people who buy your product or use your service listen to the radio. In fact, close to 95% of the population listens to the radio. |
| Radio is targeted. |
Each radio show targets a specific market segment, so despite there being many radio stations nationwide there are particular shows that target your specific market.
In The car, at the office, in the garden you can reach you customer on the radio throughout the day or night. This increases the frequency that your message can be delivered. |
| Radio reaches your customer with frequency. |
| Advertising works by repetition. You may need to be exposed to a commercial three or four times before you take action. To reach this "viable frequency" radio advertising is more cost effective than other media. |
| Radio offers additional promotional opportunities. |
| Show hosts in your store, sampling your product on air, running a competition. Hard to do with print or TV, but radio can offer this sort of "added value", personalizing your product to your customers. |
| Sound is memorable. |
| Sound is stored in memory more effectively than the written word. Sound, the spoken word offers emotion and encourages the listeners imagination to produce their own desirable image of a product. Radio is the theatre of the mind. |
