Fred Jacobs did an excellent job presenting the
findings and highlighting the country strengths. There are so many important aspects to this study but today I will focus on Social Networking. These observations should help to cheer you up the next time you are grumbling
about having to post on Facebook, blog on the website or tweet about something fun:
Ø The
percentage of Country fans that connect with Facebook first each day is higher
than the national average. (Important note for morning shows)
Ø Country
fans are higher than the national average as “frequent sharers”
Ø Country
fans interact with the station most often through e-mail, Facebook and
contesting while the national norm is e-mail, website and computer
streams.
Ø Pintrest
is second only to Facebook for usage among country fans
Ø Country is the second highest format in the Net Promoter Score, Christian is first. (They say yes to promoting your station to others.)
Ø CHR
is the only format that beats country for engagement with the personalities
When you combine all of these findings, it validates the time and effort you are putting into social networking, your loyalty program and digital platforms. Having personalities who are active on-line and in the community is a must. These fans want to interact with and support their favorite station. Let’s make sure that we are there to make that happen on whatever platform they might engage. Creating a social and mobile strategy and hiring the personnel to implement that strategy are critical to the future success of your radio station.
