According to a 2006 study by media research Finns Arbitron Inc. and Edison Media Research, Internet radio has an estimated weekly audience of nearly 21 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% of the online audience, but they accounted for an estimated 42% 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% of Internet broadcast users are likely to try a new product or service vs. 17% of non-broadcast 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 12 to 36 year old group. They are a technologically savvy group in tune with DVD's, 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. 42% of 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 www.company.com/radio, just don't make it to 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.

AccuStream iMedia Research, which provides data and analysis on streaming media and on-demand broadcasting, noted that while AOL users already pay a monthly subscription fee and can therefore access the network's radio programs, a majority of Internet radio stations are free, just like Kid Red Broadcasting's stations. This was a major factor in the solid growth of the listening audience across the major players from March to May, and a growing consumer audience is a compelling mason for advertisers to investigate their opportunities.
