There are many radio advertising benefits, and while some are well known others are not. This article will list the advantages and disadvantages of radio advertising.
Advantages are often reported as factual and legitimate, but actually many of them are hearsay and therefore don't really apply to you. Here is a list of the advantages that are reported to be true:
First there is the advantage of being able to reach more people than print or TV. This is the basic definition of radio advertising and if this is the case then the advantage should be obvious. Many advantages listed above are the result of reaching more people and these reach can only be gained by radio.
Radio does not require many viewers and also does not require a big budget. A great advantage here is that the listener is making the decision to hear you, unlike the newspapers or television, which only pull your advertisement.
Secondly, radio advertises cheaper than other media. If you look at the costs of print advertising, then you see the prices are more expensive than TV or even the radio. So this is also a benefit and also a possible disadvantage.
Thirdly, radio advertisement reaches more people than other media. To put it simply, there are more people watching TV and listening to radios than there are listening to the newspaper. These two media groups have vastly different reach, and therefore radio is far more effective in reaching a greater number of people.
Fourthly, radio advertising is more likely to succeed than other media, for a variety of reasons. The cost of production is cheaper and the reach is better, all of which increase the chances of success.
Fifthly, radio advertises at your desired frequency, which can make all the difference in getting your message across. Often times an advertising campaign gets put out in the wrong time, therefore can be viewed as a waste of money.
Sixthly, radio advertisement benefits from catchy sound effects. Many advertisements have terrible sounding commercials which bring down the viewer's confidence in the company or product. By using interesting sounds and different words, you can easily get your listeners excited about your company or product.
In addition, radio ads tend to be longer. The longer the ad, the more chances there are of people listening. This makes it a win-win situation for both the radio station and the advertiser.
Finally, radio advertising is very inexpensive. Since it is broadcast over a wide area, the cost of a single ad is a fraction of what it would be for a radio commercial.
It's important to note that there are many advantages of radio advertising, but it is also important to note that there are also many disadvantages as well. Listeners like commercials that are entertaining and educational and radio ads that are entertaining are the most successful, but unfortunately this doesn't always happen.
