What are the benefits of building a radio app?
Increased user-engagement
Mobile apps are all about convenience. This means that your listeners will be able to tune into your radio station from wherever they are. Plus, the more convenient it is for your listeners to stream your shows, the more likely they are to do so.
Another great feature of a mobile app is that it allows you to create and upload extra content for your listeners to enjoy. From blog articles to news and exclusive interviews, you’ll be able to keep your audience entertained for hours.
Track listener trends
A mobile app also makes it easier to monitor the consumption habits of your listeners. You’ll be able to find out when they tune in to your station, where they are using your app from and how long they listen to your shows.
Using this granular insight, you can fine tune your marketing and radio content to boost engagement and retain listeners.
Increased marketing opportunities
A mobile app also gives you a range of new marketing opportunities. You can send listeners push notifications to remind them about the broadcast times of their favourite show or to enter competitions and giveaways.
You’ll also be able to use geo-targeting to reach listeners within a certain area. You can use this information to reach a larger audience and drive traffic to your radio station’s streaming platform.
Generate extra revenue from your radio app
There are many different ways to make money from mobile apps, but in-app advertising is the most effective. The easiest way to do this is to enable Google AdMob which will help you set up your ad formats and view your potential earnings.
