How Does Radio Advertising Work?

Leading Marketing and Advertising professionals say that radio works on a subconscious or unconscious level. People remember the ad, but not always that they heard it on the radio.

Regardless, radio should not be ignored because it does work.

Advertising Experts will tell you radio is often the very best medium to reach a local market!

Why Radio Works to Build Your Business

Here are the Top 10 reasons why radio works to build your business:




If you want more detailed information on each of these reasons, please feel free to download this pdf. And if you have any further questions – just ask!

A final note: radio is subconscious,
so keep that in mind when crafting your ad.

  • Repeat your business name a lot and any other branding info, so it gets into your customers’ heads.
  • Don’t put in phone numbers.
  • Push your website domain name and repeat that.
  • Remember to create “pictures” whenever possible. We want to ensure your investment pays off for you!
