Probably the biggest advantage of radio ads is that compared to TV commercials and web advertisements, they are quite cheap. The production of a professional-sounding commercial requires very basic audio equipment. The low costs of producing a radio commercial also mean that it can be broadcast a lot of times during a short period of time, so it is quite likely to be remembered by the listeners.
