Listen up! If you’re not advertising on Internet radio, you could be missing out!!

 

According to a 2004 study by media research finns Arbitron Inc. and Edison Media Research, internet radio has an estimated weekly audience of near|y 19 million Americans and growing. Not only are people listening in online, they’re also buying online.

Monthly internet broadcast (radio and video) users might represent only 26 percent of the online audience, but they accounted for an estimated 42 percent of online spending. Advertisers can reach an audience that’s in listening and shopping mode.

Thinking of advertising on internet radio? Here are a few tips based on audience demographics and behaviors:

* Test a new offer. About 28 percent of internet broadcast users are likely tO try a new product or service vs. 17 percent of nonbroadcast users. So launching a new product through internet radio could give your initial sales a boost. You’ll also likely receive immediate customer feedback or testimonials to help you further refine your product or service and marketing pitch.

* Appeal to a “hip” audience. Although the age range of broadcast users is 12 to 54 years old, the highest concentration of users falls into the 12- to 34-year-old group. They are a technologically savvy group in tune with DVDs, cell phones, messaging, video games and other media products. Communication gadgets will sell well to this crowd. Yet, even if you aren’t promoting these types of devices, tailor your advertisement’s message to address the concerns, needs and wants of a sophisticated young audience.

* Use a URL in your ad. Forty-two percent of the internet radio audience has listened in while shopping or researching a product or service online, so invite them to your website. To sweeten the offer and track your radio advertising results, promote a particular page on your site, such as http://www.company.com/radio–just don’t make it too long, or people can’t remember it. You can use web analytics to track page traffic and also embed code in the links on this page to track leads and sales from it as well.

Indie Artists Jump on the EOTM Brand Wagon

 

 

 

 

EOTM understands what it takes to promote your music/image successfully. We have done it for years, promoting ourselves!! Allow us to customize a package to represent your music with a professional image!

EOTM Radio is best known for giving indie artists a means to highlight their music to a global audience. Most of the artists EOTM features sells their music primarily by touring, through their websites and EOTM Radio.

EOTM has recognized that corporate executives are increasingly looking for new sounds to help create an image for a brand, whether it’s a product, a store or a show. It could be music from an emerging artist, or something old and hip, whatever it is, it is likely to be cheaper than the high price of licensing a hit song from a major record label.

The result is that corporate music buyers are changing the economics of being an independent musician. The once-standard dream of a record deal and radio play is giving way to the reality of restaurants, retailers and automakers scouring the industry for little-known music that can lend mood and edge to marketing campaigns.

New artists have realized that the big labels really are not doing the job anymore, and if [the artists] can just get their music out, people will stumble onto it and then the buzz starts.

Carla Barnes, president of EOTM Radio & Media, said licensing represents “a growing and significant portion of any indie label’s revenue portfolio.” Selling music to advertisers used to be taboo among many sellout-conscious artists, but today “these commercial branding opportunities are being viewed much more positively,” she said.

While there is no comprehensive data to show how much money such artists are making from licensing, EOTM said it can be seen in any small music label’s revenue stream.
