Why Advertise On Radio?

If you are contemplating using radio to deliver your advertising message, we'd like to help you make informed decisions. Here are some of the advantages for using this popular medium.

Americans are on the move, they are listening to radio in their cars. Radio is considered the "mobile medium."

In-Car Listening Facts:
Arbitron is the ratings firm that surveys and analyzes radio usage. A recent national Arbitron sponsored In-Car Study found that 96% of those who have driven or ridden in a car in the past month have used the car radio. More than 80% of 35-64 year olds say they spend most of their time with radio.

Highlights of the Arbitron National In-Car Study

Why use radio to advertise instead of TV?

If you're a Fortune 500 company, it makes sense to market your products and services on TV. Smaller businesses don't have the budget to spend on network television advertising. And, though cable television advertising is affordable, your ad reaches a much smaller market.

Radio has always been a "free" medium giving even the smallest stations a broad audience. Whether your business is a small corporation or a one-person-operation, radio advertising offers tremendous reach.

Don't discount the B2B factor. Radio advertising can help plant the seeds of awareness in potential clients. The vast majority of radio listeners tune in from two places: in the car and at the office.
