Radio vs. TV AdvertisingTV Advertising DisadvantagesIs expensive to produce and to buyPrime placement may not be available due to limited avails within the most popular programsIs typically cluttered, so spots may be placed deep within a string of commercials. Viewers may head to the fridge during long commercial breaks, or switch channels. Messaging may get lost in the shuffle, long-term recall may be lost.May be fast-forwarded if program is recorded for later viewingIncreased use of social media in conjunction with TV-viewing may diminish or eliminate any attention to advertising messages aired

TV Plus RadioReach: Radios reach is similar to TV/Video, delivering approximately 243.8 million listeners or 92% of U.S. persons 12+ each week (Nielsen Audio, RADAR 122, September 2014) -- including many who dont regularly tune in to television or cable programming.

Local: Most AM/FM radio programming is local. This establishes a personal connection with the consumer that cannot be matched by network TV or cable programming.

Emotional Connections: Radio establishes an emotional connection with listeners, lending credibility to ad messages aired. This is especially true when on-air personalities deliver the message or endorse products or services.

Commercial Acceptance: Radio listeners are receptive to commercial messages they hear on their favorite stations.

Environment: Radio is relatively uncluttered compared to television, especially versus local TV stations and cable.

Cost: Good radio advertising is inexpensive to produce in relation to TV/cable production costs. Creative for the same product can be tailored to appeal to a distinct consumer audience within a unique format such as Country, Talk, Urban, etc.

Speed: The time to create a radio spot, produce it and get it on the air is shorter than the time to get a good TV/cable spot ready for airing. Radio can be the advance team for messaging that needs to get out quickly, or for timed sales or events.

Imagery Transfer: Radio can boost a TV/cable advertisers message through imagery transfer or theater of the mind.

Mobility: TV has become more mobile in recent years due to the capability to access on computers, tablets, and mobile phones but the fact remains that the majority of TV viewing in 2014 still takes place at home. TV advertisers can employ radios high in-car and at-work tune-in to extend their messaging to listeners who are out of home and closer to the point of purchase.

Recall: A Radio Ad Lab study on radio/TV synergy confirmed that adding radio to a TV ad schedule can boost brand recall. Swapping out one of two television ads for two radio ads increased unaided brand recall by 34%. Radio vs. Yellow PagesYellow Pages DisadvantagesClutter: Whether using print or digital advertising, even a costly display ad can get lost among all the others for the same product or service. And the cluttered environment provides potential customers with many opportunities for comparison shopping.

Dated: Printed Yellow Pages are set for the year once they are printed.

Limited Exposure: Consumers only see most print and online search ads when they are actively looking for a business referral, so theres no build-up of frequency of your name and information.

Lack of Mobility: Print Yellow Pages are typically viewed in the home or at the workplace, not out of home; payphones are nearly non-existent today.

Yellow Pages Plus RadioAwareness: Many consumers already have a business name in mind when they turn to the PYP. Maintaining a radio ad schedule will make sure people have been exposed to messaging about your business and insure top of mind awareness among future prospects in the market. When consumers are ready to buy, but if theyve been exposed continually to radio ads, your business will be on their mind when they turn to local search.

Exposure: Ads in the PYP are not seen until a consumer is consciously looking for information. Ads on radio are intrusive and reach consumers every day, conveying your businesss unique selling proposition and providing a known name when search begins.

Flexibility: Once the paper Yellow Pages are printed, a businesss message is set for the year. Ads on radio can be changed periodically to focus consumers on different aspects of the business, including sales and location, that theyll recall when referencing the PYP when a need arises.

Mobility: Radio listeners frequently hear advertising in cars and they also make decisions on where to shop, eat, etc. while driving. The ability to now to search for a business online lends immediacy for follow-up to message heard on the radio.Targeted DisplayPut your ad in front of a customized audience using the following retargeted strategies:
