Radio advertising drives retail results with consumer reach
According to Nielsen, 90% of adults 25-54 are reached by AM/FM radio in the week leading up to Thanksgiving. 91% of adults 25-54 are reached the week of Christmas, making it the prime advertising vehicle for reaching shoppers trying to find last minute gifts.
Radio reaches consumers on the path to purchase
When consumers are in their cars, 88% of ad-supported audio time spent goes to AM/FM radio, according to Edison Research's latest Q3 2019 Share of Ear. Shoppers hear AM/FM radio commercials that influence the stores they visit and brands they buy.

Beauty retailers and car dealers saw the greatest lift of 32% each.
