Pack and Prepare for October Half Term 

We may only just be getting into our summer break, but October half term is fast approaching. With children and teenagers across the UK having a one or two week break from school, there’ll be plenty of parents looking for ideas to keep them busy this autumn. 

From theme parks to farmyards, walks to waterparks, gardens to glamping and everything in between, planning ahead & deciding what to do and where to go can be a challenge for parents. 

If you’re busy organising family friendly events or half term offers for October,  you’ve probably got a head start on the plans, but have you thought about how you’re going to get your messages out there ?

Or Reach Them Digital Devices – Like Smart Speakers 

Radio is now much more than just traditional airtime, as listening to the radio via digital devices is now the norm for listeners across the UK with 76% of the population listening to radio digitally every week*. The radio market is continuing to flourish in the digital age, providing advertisers with new audiences, more precise targeting and more efficient media that go hand in hand.  

The Power of Video 

Video is the perfect tool to communicate information to an audience that’s easy to understand and easy to remember, something that’s important in the world where people are receiving information from here, there and everywhere. 

Users are more likely to engage with video content than other types with studies showing that videos can create an increase in conversion rates by up to 80%†, create stronger emotional connections and create a better brand recognition, helping you stand out from the crowd. 

Making the Most 

While YouTube remains the most popular marketing platform for video marketing (78% reporting it to be effective), this is quickly followed by Facebook video (71%), Instagram (64%) and TikTok (52%) meaning there’s a whole host of channels to choose from to promote your video content. ‡
