Nielsen’s Six Rs Show Why Radio Ads Work

Nielsen says radio is a very valuable part of any business’s media mix – including automobile dealers – and it has published a list of six Rs – along with research – to validate their statement. Brad Kelly, the Audio Managing Director at Nielsen, put the list together to illustrate that “for advertisers, radio presents a huge opportunity to connect with consumers.” Read his list, and we believe you’ll be in agreement.

 

1. Remind: Radio’s Recency Delivers. Here, he points out that radio is the closest medium to the point of purchase.
2. Register: Radio is a Powerful Digital and Purchaser Driver. Kelly cites studies that show radio drives large numbers of consumers to an advertiser’s online properties.
3. Reinforce: Radio Elevates the Media Plan. When combined with other forms of media, Kelly shows that radio is a powerful tool that significantly elevates the effectiveness of the entire media buy.
4. Relate: Branding Spots and Celebrity Power. A study showed celebrity-voiced advertisements more effectively increased resonance and engagement – although, as we mentioned in a recent blog, engagement isn’t enough; ads also have to be persuasive enough to make people buy cars!
5. Reach: AM/FM Radio Connects with 93% of American Adults Weekly. The precision of radio cannot be understated. No matter what segment you attempt to contact, you have access to almost everyone in it!
6. Return: Radio Advertising Positively Impacts Bottom Line Sales. Looking for a high return on your investment? Kelly says you need look no further than radio!
