You’re not alone — thousands of business executives and owners are wondering how to reach their core customers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Are you looking for ways to quickly and effectively maximize controlled outreach for your clients? Do you need to be creative and strategic about how to ensure your message is on point and will get the distribution and placement it needs, guaranteed?
If so, you are perfectly positioned to learn about and take advantage of radio’s ability to reach your target demographic audience.
Why is radio an effective media choice during the COVID-19 pandemic? It’s there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. News and news/talk programming is seeing increased numbers of listeners seeking daily information on the course of the pandemic. In fact, radio is even more effective during a crisis. Using radio to distribute a controlled message offers a quick turnaround of writing and production, which also allows for quick adjustments to messaging as necessary, if needed.
- Radio provides a distribution platform for public relations and marketing professionals to reach specific demographics at an affordable cost per thousand. It’s a portal of access to reach Millennials, Generation X, Baby Boomers, Hispanics, African Americans, men or women — whatever your target audience, it’s reachable through radio.
- A recent Nielsen report revealed that employees working remotely listen to radio at the same rate as non-remote employees — an astonishing 95%.
Another new Nielsen study reveals, as expected, that all media consumption is increasing. This study shows that 83% of consumers are listening to the same amount of or more radio than before. Nielsen says that radio is “comfort food” for Americans as COVID-19 concerns continue.
The new Nielsen study also confirms a shift in the devices used for radio listening. With well over 95% of the U.S. population under stay-at-home orders (except for essential workers), people under these orders are listening more to their favorite radio stations at home, on mobile devices, on computers and smart speakers. 32% report spending less time listening in their cars. All this as radio continues to prove that it is just as dependable as ever.
