Radio advertisements are a form of commercial that can be heard on the radio. They typically last for 30-60 seconds and often rely on catchphrases or jingles to grab the audience’s attention. The content of these ads varies from product information to special offers, and announcements about upcoming products, services, events, etc.
The rates of radio advertising vary based on station, the timing of the day, and the total seconds purchased. Radio Advertising Rates in Delhi range from 200-1500 per 10 seconds. Ads can be created by the advertiser or the radio station itself for minor or no charges.
Radio advertising costs depend on many factors. Here are two common criteria to segregate radio advertising costs:
1. FCT and non-FCT:
Free Commercial Time also known as FCT is made available by the Radio Station. Advertisers can promote their brand by buying a set of time slots at discounted rates.
Non-FCT radio advertising refers to other radio advertising options like sponsorship tags, RJ mentions, contests, studio shifts, etc. The radio advertising costs for non-FCT ad options depend on the frequency of ads as well as the time slots.
2. Popular and Premium:
Above, we talked about jingles, RJ mentions, contests, sponsorship tags, etc. which are popular advertising options. The radio advertising costs for these popular radio advertising options are based on frequency and time band hence even companies with a smaller budget can also aim for them.
