Sample: population of Costa del Sol

Although the largest proportion of our listeners are from the UK, our programming format means that over 40% of listeners are of nationalities other than British. The station is effective in reaching Spanish listeners so is a viable platform for local (Spanish) brands who wish to target both the expat and native market. Spectrum FM also attracts Russian and Scandinavian listeners, who are the largest groups of foreign buyers on the Costa del Sol in 2017. This diverse group of listeners makes Spectrum FM the preferred station for local, national and international brands wishing to target the affluent English speaking population.

 

Where do you listen to the radio?

Sample: population of Costa del Sol

As expected, the majority of listeners are driving whilst exposed to Spectrum FM. However a higher proportion than expected (42% versus industry standard of 25%) are tuning in whilst at home. This means that a more diverse range of products and services are applicable to our listener base than on many stations. In response to the high proportion of online listeners a Spectrum FM App has been developed, enhancing the experience for these listeners.

Here at Spectrum FM we understand what advertisers want. They want to see action. They want hot leads, increased traffic, additional sales, a bigger email database, and more fans. As clients of Spectrum FM you want to know your marketing budget will achieve these goals, and you want ROI (return on investment).

Competitions are the activation layer of any marketing plan

Competitions are not only a vehicle for brand building – they have the ability to activate potential customers.
Competitions provide an incentive for customers to engage with a brand on a deeper level in ways that traditional advertising rarely duplicate – AND most importantly, they are the best vehicle for capturing customer data.

Benefits of sponsoring a Spectrum FM competition

Main points to why you should run a competition:

1. Competitions increase brand awareness and engagement. Advertising can take two forms. The first is branding, or setting customers’ expectations for a product or service and differentiating it from others. The second is activation, which motivates customers to take a specific action, such as enter a competition, Like a Page on Facebook, purchase a deal, or print out a coupon. Traditional advertising is great for awareness, while promotions like competitions supercharge your advertising, making it more effective by driving brand engagement and encouraging social sharing.
2. Competitions grow social, email, and mobile databases. Whether you are hoping to grow your social media following, or even your mobile database, a competition can help. This is one of the best ways to reach and capture data on new potential customers.
3. Competitions drive footfall. By including an offer advertisers have the power to direct footfall to their physical location (or website). You can also generate even more footfall by incorporating the online competition with an on-site event at the advertiser’s location.
4. Competitions reach the audience you want. Whether your advertiser wants to reach as many people as possible or only a highly targeted niche, there’s a contest for that audience. Spectrum FM will endeavor to work with you and/or your client to deliver a thought out campaign to reach the campaign goal.
