The cost of distributing adverts to targeted followers is quite on the high side and not many startups and businesses can afford. For a 60 seconds ad on Channels Tv, a leading Television station in Nigeria, in Lagos, it cost ₦46,077.05 for the 6.00 AM – 3.00 PM slot. Meanwhile, for Inspiration FM, another radio station, in the city, it cost ₦14,558.25 for the 60 secs super premium slot. There are other slots that even more expensive.
By the way, the traditional media is slowly declining as audiences are moving online. So, it not very advisable to advertise on a radio or Television if you want to reach your target audience.
Obviously, you can sponsor the advert on social media. But the problem is the ad reaching your desired audience and the cost.
