    The Case For Print & Radio

    Why Print & Radio Still Deliver in India

    In a market where digital ad fatigue is rising and cost-per-click keeps climbing, print and radio offer unmatched trust, attention, and cost efficiency.

    74% trust print over digital ads

    Consumers in India consistently rate print advertising as the most trusted channel -- ahead of TV and far ahead of digital display. For brands in finance, healthcare, education, and FMCG, this trust advantage directly influences purchase decisions and shortens the path to conversion.

    65 crore weekly radio listeners

    FM and community radio reach audiences in cars, shops, farms, and factories where digital cannot follow. Radio delivers mass reach at the lowest cost per contact, and when combined with jingles and RJ endorsements, consistently outperforms static display on emotional recall.

    Print + radio compound recall

    When a consumer hears your radio spot during their morning commute and then reads your print ad over chai, the recall effect compounds significantly. Multi-channel campaigns combining print and radio consistently outperform single-medium strategies by a wide margin -- especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets.

    FAQs

    Print & Radio Advertising FAQs

    Answers to common questions about print advertising cost in India, radio advertising effectiveness, and campaign execution.

    Print advertising cost in India varies widely based on the publication, ad size, and placement. A full-page ad in a national English daily like The Times of India can range from INR 5 lakh to INR 25 lakh depending on the edition and page position. Regional language newspapers are significantly more affordable, often starting at INR 20,000 to INR 1 lakh for a quarter-page insertion. CupShup helps brands at every budget level by identifying the most cost-efficient publications for their target geography and audience, negotiating bulk rates, and designing campaigns that maximise return per insertion.
