What Is The Best Time Of Day To Advertise on Las Vegas Radio Stations?

You've done the research. You now know that by every measure, radio advertising is the most effective way for your Las Vegas small business to market its goods and services.

You have learned, for instance, 1,502,898 consumers regularly tune-in to their favorite Las Vegas radio stations.  That's more than 90% of all adults.

You've also learned that, on average, adults spend almost two hours per day listening to Las Vegas radio.

If you dug deep enough, then you know radio advertising delivers, on average, a $10 lift in sales for every $1 invested. This is a remarkable ROI for any Las Vegas small business owner.

What you may not have figured out, however, is what is the best time of day to advertise on Las Vegas radio?

The chart below demonstrates that radio reaches a significant portion of Las Vegas consumers during every part of the day including late-night, overnight, and on the weekends.

It is also clear that most listening to Las Vegas radio occurs Monday through Friday between 6:00 am and 7:00 pm.  This is often referred to as prime-time. As a consequence of supply-and-demand pricing, however, prime-time is also the most expensive time to advertise.

For a Las Vegas small business owner, then, advertising effectively only during prime-time could be cost prohibitive.  But there is a way to reach the prime-time audience without paying a premium price.

It turns out that almost 8-out-of-10 adults who listen to Las Vegas radio stations during prime-time also listen during other parts of the day as well. The good news for business owners is that the cost of advertising outside of prime-time is considerably less expensive.
