PTBOTODAY.CA talks to people at the right time and place

PTBOTODAY.CA works in “real time” so ads can be run at just the time when people are most ready to be influenced by the message. For example, a leisure centre can advertise on a Friday night when people are planning their weekend; a car dealership can target the ‘drive time’ to reach people in cars; a local retail outlet can advertise on Friday and Saturday mornings to promote weekend offers. Research shows that ads are far more effective when people are thinking about a related subject.

While it’s easy to skip the ads on TV and in newspapers, radio ads are harder to avoid. Research shows that people just don’t avoid the ads like they do in other media. This means that radio is ideal for reaching out to new customers (the lifeblood of most businesses) – they will hear the ads regardless of whether they think they are in the market or not.

Listeners typically describe their favorite local radio station as a friend, and that friendship can be used by advertisers to change the way local people perceive them – to keep ahead of the competition. This is especially true for branded content (sponsorships and promotions). If an announcer says that prizes are “thanks to our friends at ABC Motors”, listeners will begin to feel a warmer relationship with that company.
