One of the biggest misconceptions about SiriusXM advertising is that it is only available to national brands.
In reality, local and regional businesses can successfully advertise on SiriusXM and reach high value, national audiences.
The Local Advertising Myth
Many business owners assume they’re just a local company and they limit their vision. The truth is that why not pursue a national audience, if it makes sense operationally?
Sirius XM is one of the easiest, fastest ways to test whether a national audience is readily interested in your pitch, value.
Could you imagine the expense and time it would take to reach a national audience through Google or social media? Traditional radio networks will cost at least $100,000 for a 2-week test. Sirius? $10,000+.
This is an investment any small business can afford without risking too much.
