Daily Sales Tip: Radio Drives Traffic To Websites

Advertisers increasingly want to drive traffic to their websites. If you have not already downloaded the information from RAB's Radio Marketing Guide, go to rab.com and look under the Research tab for Radio, then Radio Marketing Guide (deep link -- http://www.rab.com/public/marketingGuide/rabRmg.html). Scroll to "Online Searches" and you will see one out of every four Americans have initiated an online search based on something they heard on the radio. This should be compelling information for any advertiser wanting to drive traffic to their site. You can download the information as a PowerPoint slide and get the data.

While you are on the Radio Marketing Guide pages, scroll to "Radio and the Internet." You'll see that unaided recall of brand names is 4.5 times higher with Radio added to an Internet campaign.
