Why advertise on radio?
Wide Reach
— Radio offers broad reach across all demographics, including younger consumers not easily delivered by print advertising. Radio reaches approx. 92% of US persons 12+ per week, which is more than any other medium, and radio reaches people who can spend. More than two-thirds of the weekly radio audience works full time and listens to the radio during the commute and also during the workday.
Environment
— Radio features one commercial at a time which allows the consumer to focus on one message, unlike print or digital advertising which often displays multiple ads on the same page diminishing branding opportunities and overwhelming the consumer. Readers can easily skip past print ads, but linear radio is intrusive and breaks through with your message. Studies by Arbitron have found radio retains 93% of its lead-in audience during commercial breaks.
Frequency
— Radio advertising is very affordable and allows you to add impact to your brand messaging through repetition. You can air multiple radio spots in a single day versus one newspaper ad, which means better and faster results because repetition sells. Radio can help maintain loyal customers by keeping your name or brand image top of mind.
Speed
— A radio spot can be created very quickly and put on the air quicker than print or television. Choose your favorite Live 97.5 DJ or on-air personality who will bring your ad to life at no additional cost.
Cost
— Radio advertising costs less than print and TV and can be more effective. A well planned radio advertising campaign can be customized on nearly any budget.
