Advertise On Social Media In Southwest FloridaThe first radio station in Southwest Florida went on-the-air in 1940.  Seventy-nine years later, Facebook inaugurated the social media era.  Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, and hundreds of other sites quickly followed.

As social media matured from a novelty to part of consumers' daily rituals, some SWFL business owners began to experiment with advertising.

By every key advertising metric, though, Fort Myers radio remains the best choice for a small business to market their goods and services. Here's why.

Last week, according to Nielsen, 807,219 adult consumers in SWFL  tuned-in to a local radio station.  That is significantly more than logged-on to any social media site over an entire month.

Even among millennials in the Fort Myers-Naples area, AM/FM radio engages more consumers each week than social media sites reach over an entire month.

In addition to reach, the amount of time spent with a medium is essential to the success of an advertising campaign. The longer consumers are engaged, the more available they are to hear a marketer's message.

According to Nielsen, adult consumers spend more than 144 minutes a day listening to radio.  The largest social media sites, on the other hand, engage its users for less than 25% of that time, according to eMarketer.
