Nielsen Stats Support Radio Advertising
Some recent Nielsen stats show that, despite the recent advancements in technology, AM/FM radio continues to have a huge impact on the lives of almost everyone in this great country of ours. Culled from the Second-Quarter Nielsen Total Audience Report, here are some of the most interesting stats that are of interest to an automobile dealer … showing why radio advertising remains a powerful tool to attract customers and ultimately, sell more cars.
∙ AM/FM radio reaches 93% of adults in the United States
∙ More than two-thirds of AM/FM radio consumption happens outside the home (closer to the point of purchase when shopping)
∙ About two-thirds of Americans listen to the radio away from home during the 6am to 7pm time period; peak time is 3pm to 7pm
∙ The average commute to work – a premium time for radio listening – is 26 minutes (one-way)
∙ Americans spend 87% of their listening time on their three favorite stations
∙ 76% of radio listeners are between 18-64 years of age – and are in the workforce
As Nielsen correctly puts it: For advertisers, these are critical insights because they provide details about when they can engage with an attentive audience — an audience that spends nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes with the medium and has disposable income.
With AM/FM radio advertising also being one of the most affordable ways for an automobile dealer to market itself, it is clear that radio offers great bang for the proverbial buck.
