Creative Advertising Ideas - It's a job in itself
Writing a commercial for radio is a skill that once cracked, can be a powerful tool to have in your arsenal; but it’s not as easy as writing a few lines. For starters, you only have a short window of time to convince the listeners to act. On top of that, the radio commercial needs to be memorable.
The great thing with radio though is that unlike any other press advertisement there are no constraints; which means:
- You can set a beach party scene in the Bahamas, and it wouldn’t cost you flights out there.
- You can travel forward in time or backwards to the time of the great Industrial Revolution.
- Or, how about dropping your listeners’ into the middle of a hurricane.
It’s that easy. And that’s why it’s not only small businesses using the radio; bigger companies are beginning to use the radio to promote their products. What’s more, radio is becoming popular again with younger audiences, something that companies are now taking advantage of to raise sales.
Straight Talking Commercials Are Necessary When Reaching Specific Audiences.
Although there are more humorous radio commercials out there, let’s not forget that there are advertisements that are more “straight”, in the sense of the need to be more informative; this applies to audiences for whom every detail is essential.
Whether it’s for a specialist product, charity or event, it’s always better to not make the commercial overly complicated. The audience will want to know specifics whether times, dates, location and product information, all of which are essential selling points to a product.
The advantage of a television commercial is that the audience can see the product and how it works. The downside though is that unlike a radio commercial that is more likely to stick in a listeners’ head until their favourite song plays, a TV commercial is followed by another TV commercial. With production costs higher due to all the bells and whistles which can include:
- Celebrity Endorsement
- Flash Cars
- Explosions
- Killer Tune
It still falls to the copywriter to write a script that sells the products. It must be in sync with what the audience is seeing and feeling and leave them with the urge to act.
