If yes, then I want to introduce one of the best ways to advertise your business and reach out to prospects and potential customers.

That is RADIO ADVERTISING

Radio ads are one of the most effective ways to reach a lot of people because a lot of people are hooked up on a radio for nearly the whole day. 

Radio ads are also designed in a way that your audience gets a clear understanding of the message you’re sending across.

1. Audience Timing

The best radio ads are those served to a large number of audiences with an interest in what is said and at the time it is delivered. Therefore, before placing radio ads, do well to discover when your target audience could be tuned in so you can reach as many people as possible.

An advert for students would be more productive if done at night than in the morning when your students are at school. A business offer would also reach more people during the afternoon or evening hours.

2. Your Success Stories

How successful your business has been over the years or in the short period of its existence will move your audience to make a move in the right direction (your business).

Just like an impressive resume contains prove of work experience, your radio ads must portray you as an expert. If you have ever rendered a satisfactory service to a popular firm, then let your prospective clients know about it.

3. A Valid Business Location

Your business should be situated at a place where people can easily get to you and not a vague location. 

Some customers would need to know this before they can entrust any work to you. At least, they know where to find you, if your services don’t meet up their expectations (of course it should).

Adding your business location, phone number and email address to a radio ad, presents you as a real entity, thus allaying fears that you are a scammer.

4. Advert Efficiency

If you run a small-scale business with a low-budget to spend on radio ads, it would do you a lot of good to get an expert prepare your radio ads for you.

Whether ads are to last a duration of 120s – 30s, it should be designed in a way that everyone tuned in at that moment will get a clear picture of what your business stands for and also instil in their minds, a reason to call you up. 

Radio ads have also proven effective when delivered in between radio programs related to the business you do.

5. Influencer Radio Ads

Some radio presenters are already popular among listeners and have the ability to command more results for your ads.

Even if it requires paying more and getting more results, it’s a gamble worth taking.

For larger businesses, a celebrity radio ad pulls a lot of customers on your business queue. This is done on a contract basis and represents a huge way to attract people to your business. 

WRAPPING UP

I know you might be thinking that running adverts on the radio is very costly than internet ads. But the truth is, it’s worth it.

Most of the successful companies in Nigeria like Dangote, Peak, Cowbell, Telecommunication companies, etc run radio ads almost every day.

So if you want your business to go viral locally, you wouldn’t mind spending money on radio ads.
