Daily Sales Tip: Consumer Sophistication!

One of the topics in RAB’s Certified Digital Marketing Consultant course is the rise in consumer sophistication.  For example: A decade ago auto dealers could scream on the Radio, “This is the perfect vehicle for you!”, and listeners would go to the dealership and buy.  General sophistication of consumers has exponentially increased with the Internet.  According to J.D. Power and Associates, 75% of consumers last year spent an average of nearly 7 hours on the Internet researching vehicles before making a purchase. 

 

Our role as marketing consultants includes helping advertisers with their creative.  Whether on-air or digital, the creative must be presented in a way listeners can make a decision on their own to buy from our advertisers.
