Does your business or agency take advantage of the amazing benefits of advertising on Internet radio like Pandora? While everyone focuses on spending their marketing budgets on social media, online ads and digital marketing techniques like SEO, there are a few savvy business owners getting huge success from getting plays on the commercial breaks in Internet radio.
There is a vast array of benefits to expect from Internet radio advertising. Allshouse Designs has started to manage internet radio ad campaigns in recent years, and we absolutely love it. Here are some of the key reasons why …
The Benefits of Internet Radio
As discussed above, one of the most obvious benefits of advertising through online radio stations is that there is a high chance your competitors aren’t doing it. And given the overall market across the country – 143 million Americans listen to Internet radio regularly – your business is missing out if you don’t have a presence. But there is plenty more to get the juices flowing, too. Let’s take a closer look at some more benefits.
Targeted Reach
The beauty of online radio stations is that they all have loyal, core followings. The stations know exactly who they are talking to, and if there are similarities between their market and your target audience, it can be an incredibly precise way of getting your message out there to the right people. For example, if your product is trying to attract attention from the traditionally ‘difficult’ youth market, Internet radio ads can help. According to research, 77 percent of 12-24-year-olds listen to an online station on a monthly basis.
Local Markets
Geo-targeting isn’t just for SEO and paid search campaigns. With Internet radio, you can refine your ads to play in highly localized areas. There are thousands of local broadcast stations operating all over the world, and many of them are set up to serve very particular audiences. Again, if you want to spread the word about your product or service in your locale, Internet radio stations will give you that opportunity. Studies predict that almost 56 percent of the US population will listen to Internet radio by the end of this year. If you translate this to the local population of somewhere like Seattle, Washington – with a population of almost 4 million people over the age of 12 – then clever Internet radio ads spread wisely across the local network could reach up to 2 million people. That’s enormous reach, and if you can create a compelling and with a good hook – an earworm if you like – it can be incredibly successful.
Average CPM Cost
So, how much does all this reach cost? You might be surprised at the CPM on offer from Internet radio ads. Figures can vary, but on average the CPM for a digital audio campaign is less than a quarter of what you might pay for something like a display video ad, and significantly less than it costs to advertise on traditional radio. As a rough guide, StartUpBizHub suggests that you will pay $3.75 for 15 seconds of Internet radio time, $7.50 for 30 seconds, and $15 for a full minute. And you can pack in a surprising amount of information in that time, too.
Flexibility
There is a huge amount of flexibility involved in Internet radio ads, as well. As an advertiser, you can integrate your radio campaign with other forms of advertising. You might use a web banner, for example, to be displayed on the Internet radio station’s web page. It allows for greater engagement, too. The vast majority of people listening to Internet radio do so via their smartphones, computers, or tablets. And it’s not like they sit there staring at the station page – listeners will be actively doing other things online. Research suggests that Internet radio listeners are more likely to visit a social network page or website while streaming music or talk stations. And with a well-placed and timely ad, who’s to say this couldn’t be your business website?
