Best Way To Advertise In Las Vegas: Furniture & Mattresses

Feb 23, 2023 2:27:35 PM / by Larry Julius

Over the next 12 months, according to Nielsen, 236,175 Las Vegas area households plan to buy furniture and mattresses. Based on a per capita forecast from Furniture Today, these expenditures will total $885.7 million during 2023, a $16.1 million dollar increase over 2022.

Although the forecast growth of furniture and bedding sales is expected to moderate a bit versus 2021, what retailer would not want to grab a share of the multi-million dollar category growth this year?

To capture a bigger share of the increased spending on chairs, couches, beds, tables, and mattresses will require local stores to invest in marketing. And according to most key metrics, the best way to reach local furniture buyers is with advertising on Las Vegas radio.

Las Vegas Radio: The Best Way To Recruit Construction Workers

Feb 14, 2023 10:20:36 AM / by Larry Julius

Las Vegas area construction companies will need to recruit 3,829 more workers in 2023 in addition to the normal pace of hiring. This forecast is a per capita estimate based on research from Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC).  

The frenetic pace of recruiting construction workers in Las Vegas is expected to extend into 2024, with an incremental 2,272 workers needed next year, as well, in addition to the normal pace of hiring.

Overall, the demand for construction workers in America has been increasing at an epic rate.

According to ABC, the construction industry averaged more than 390,000 job openings per month in 2022, the highest level on record, and the industry unemployment rate of 4.6% in 2022 was the second lowest on record, higher than only the 4.5% unemployment rate observed in 2019. In addition, national payroll construction employment was 231,000 higher in December 2022 than in December 2021.

Right now, filling open jobs at any Las Vegas company is a struggle.

A recent survey by the National Federation of Independent Business Owners found that after inflation, the most critical problem facing these businesses is the inability to recruit and retain quality employees.

Right now, says the Federal Reserve,  unfilled jobs remain near an all-time with 1.7 openings per unemployed person.  As a result, only one person is being hired per every four job openings.  To put this dismal hire-to-opening ratio in perspective, ten years ago, there was one hire per every job opening.

Compounding the recruitment woes of Las Vegas's small business owners is the very stubborn quit rate.  According to the Federal Reserve, for every ten hires made, seven current employees quit. 

So, how can local builders and contractors fill the open jobs at their companies? Most metrics indicate that advertising on Las Vegas Radio may be the best way.

Valentine's Spending In Las Vegas Expected To Grow 8.4% in 2023

Jan 26, 2023 1:32:36 PM / by Larry Julius

Las Vegas business owners should brace for a sweet Valentine's Day in 2023.

Based on per capita spending forecasts from the National Retail Federation (NRF), Las Vegas area consumers are expected to spend $181.6 million on their Valentines this year, 8.4% more than they did in 2022.

Overall, says the NRF, 52% of consumers plan to celebrate Valentine's day this year. On average, each celebrant will spend $192.80 on holiday gifts and outings. This is $17 more than last year.  Here is the most interesting part, though.

"While spending on significant others and family members is in line with last year, many consumers are looking to show appreciation for the other meaningful relationships in their lives," says the NRF. "Of the $17 increase in per-person spending, $14 comes from gifts for pets, friends, and co-workers, along with classmates or teachers."

Top Priority For Las Vegas Small Business Owners: Fill Open Jobs

Jan 20, 2023 7:46:01 AM / by Larry Julius

69,498 Las Vegas area companies fit the description of being a small business, according to the US Census Bureau.  A recent survey by the National Federation of Independent Business Owners found that after inflation, the most critical problem facing these businesses is the inability to recruit and retain quality employees.

Right now, says the Federal Reserve,  unfilled jobs remain near an all-time with 1.7 openings per unemployed person.  As a result, only one person is being hired per every four job openings.  To put this dismal hire-to-opening ratio in perspective, ten years ago, there was one hire per every job opening.

Compounding the recruitment woes of Las Vegas's small business owners is the very stubborn quit rate.  According to the Federal Reserve, for every ten hires made, seven current employees quit. 

Although the labor crunch affects Las Vegas business owners of every size, nearly half of all job vacancies are at companies with fewer than 50 employees.

So what is the best way for local small business owners to attract qualified candidates to fill open jobs?  Most metrics indicate that advertising on Las Vegas radio may be the optimal choice.

TV Advertising In Las Vegas: Local Stations and Cable Losing Ground

Dec 21, 2022 10:00:00 AM / by Larry Julius

The combined weekly reach of Las Vegas's broadcast television stations has slipped to 66.0% of all adults, according to Nielsen. These stations include KSNV, KVUU, KLAS, KTNV, and KLVX.  

The combined Las Vegas TV audience now falls behind streaming platforms at 70.4% and cable programming at 66.8%. To put this virtual dead heat into perspective, none of the three video media is a match for Las Vegas radio which reaches more than 81.2% of local adults every week.

But although the reach of broadcast TV, cable, and streaming are neck-and-neck, the share of time consumers spend with each of these media is dramatically different.

Surprise? Las Vegas Radio Is Still #1 Way To Reach Local Consumers

Dec 1, 2022 3:40:49 PM / by Larry Julius

Las Vegas area business owners have an abundance of options for marketing their goods and services to local consumers. New research from Nielsen, however, indicates that advertising on Las Vegas radio is still the best way to reach local shoppers.

Every week, according to Nielsen, Las Vegas radio reaches 1.5 million adults. This is significantly more than are reached by social media, local TV stations and cable systems, newspapers, streaming video and audio, and podcasts.

In addition to listening to their favorite Las Vegas radio stations over the air, Nielsen reports that 447,352 adults also listen to local stations online every month.

Holiday Spending In Las Vegas Will Top $6.6 Billion In 2022

Nov 11, 2022 4:27:57 PM / by Larry Julius

Economic concerns among Las Vegas area consumers are not expected to subdue holiday shopping in in 2022.  Based on forecasts from The National Retail Federation, local shoppers are projected to spend at least $6.6 billion this year. This would be 6% more than was spent in 2021.

“While consumers are feeling the pressure of inflation and higher prices, and while there is continued stratification with consumer spending and behavior among households at different income levels, consumers remain resilient and continue to engage in commerce,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “In the face of these challenges, many households will supplement spending with savings and credit to provide a cushion and result in a positive holiday season.”

The biggest challenge facing Las Vegas business owners is keeping holiday spending local. NRF expects 10-12% of purchases to happen online from retailers like Amazon and Walmart.

To lay claim to this expanding pool of holiday spending,  and keep business local, small business owners will need advertising. By, most marketing metrics, the best way to advertise is on Las Vegas radio.

Advertising In Las Vegas: Is Online Marketing Enough?

Oct 21, 2022 9:35:25 AM / by Larry Julius

According to Nielsen, 1.8 million adults in the Las Vegas area have access to the internet. Eighty-one percent of these consumers conduct online research before making a retail purchase, says a report from GE Capital Bank. 

To reach Las Vegas area adults in the market to buy their goods and services, businesses spent $1.3 billion in 2021 on digital adverting, according to projections based on the 2021 IAB Internal Advertising Report.  This is 35% more than was spent during the prior year.

This mammoth pool of online advertising dollars targeted at Las Vegas consumers is being spent on a variety of digital resources including search engine marketing (SEM), search engine optimization (SEO), display ads, video ads, audio ads, email, and social media. Each of these tools can precisely target consumers who are currently in the market to buy whatever it is a business is selling.

Most forms of online advertising are designed to compel Las Vegas consumers to click on a digital ad that will transport them to the website of a company that sells whatever it is consumers are in the market to buy.  Is investing only in digital advertising enough to drive sales for a local business? 

Many marketing experts believe that online advertising needs to be part of a broader marketing strategy to be successful.

Sep 30, 2022 11:50:16 AM / by Larry Julius

Last year, $1.3 billion in marketing was spent online to reach Southern Nevada consumers, according to projections based on the 2021 IAB Internal Advertising Report.  This is 35% more than was spent during the prior year.

Furthermore, The Pew Research Center, a public opinion research company, reports that one-in-three consumers say they are online constantly. A 50% increase from 2015.  In all, 85% of consumers say they connect at least once daily.

To successfully market and advertise a Southern Nevada business on the internet requires a full-scale understanding of precisely what online marketing is.  Spoiler alert, having a website or having a social media site is not enough.
