Internet Radio stays
closer to the consumer for longer periods during prime buying hours
than any other medium. Thousands of advertisers trust Internet Radio
as their exclusive advertising choice, and many more recognize Internet
Radio's value as an accelerant in the advertising plan; like lighter
fluid sprayed on softly glowing embers, Radio creates immediate
spark, excitement, and-most importantly-results! While FM radio
listeners tune away after less than 1/2 hr, stats show
that the average OLDIES CHANNEL listener stays for over 12 hours
on average before switching! Why spend money on FM radio with listeners
that tune away from your commercials, when you can spend less and
get an audience that pays attention to your commercials and follows
through?
68 percent of all TV
households are wired with basic cable but due to the increasing
competition from Direct-broadcast satellite (DBS) cable now faces
a steady stream of defectors from the ranks of subscribers. DBS
has captured nearly 17 million subscribers in just a few short years,
and it acquiring even more viewers now that the government has granted
permission for satellite companies to offer local channels.
While cable systems as a whole may
reach into a large percentage of homes, their audiences are fragmented
among dozens, even hundreds of channels. The average system brings
its viewers 62 channel choices.
* Because cable TV gives the viewer so many channels to choose from,
cable audiences are considerably smaller than those of broadcast
TV.
* As many as 12 percent of U.S. households get their program- ming
from alternative delivery systems such as satellite TV and the percentage
is much higher in many major markets.
* Network TV typically carries a 24-unit commercial load every hour,
cable often as many as 28 units per hour-17 percent more making
ads that much more annoying and therefore more susceptible to zipping,
zapping, and time-shifting.
By combining Internet Radio with
outdoor, you can build your message's range and frequency and reach
more of your customers more often. The need to communicate a memorable
message in a split second sharply limits the level of detail an
outdoor ad can convey and results in relatively poor consumer recall.
Additionally, many people consider billboards a visual blight on
the landscape.
* The very nature of outdoor advertising demands that the commercial
message be brief and relatively simple.
* Prime outdoor locations (in high-traffic areas) often are controlled
by large, long-term advertisers.
* Unlike other advertising media, outdoor advertising has no truly
reliable method to measure its effectiveness.
* Commuters behind the wheel and other potential customers are exposed
very briefly to outdoor messages, minimizing message retention.
* Once a message is up, it generally stays up through the duration
of the contract, even if the advertiser's needs have changed.
