The purpose of the final work was to discover which factors contribute to a good radio advertisement, or an advertisement that would be considered the best by listeners. An experiment, which is presented in the diploma thesis, determines the factor needed for an advertisement to be the best one. An ad is required to be liked by all generations and it must attract the listeners, whose decision to make a purchase is based on the ad.
A history of the development of the radio, radio advertisements and their production at radio stations are presented in the thesis. The work describes what a radio advertisement includes and how an advertisement is recorded for the radio listeners to hear it. The work includes an experimental part; with the help of the perception of participants’ facial expressions and surveys we were able to deduce, which part of a radio ad they liked the most. Literary sources of Slovenian and foreign authors were used, as they offer a wider range of technical content of this field.
Four radio ads were created for the purposes of the thesis. The participants in the experiment listened to them and with the help of surveys, they decided, which type of advertisements they liked the most. The surveys were given to the participants after having listened to all four ads, as that was the only manner to obtain results. Based on the ads, the software called Noldus Face Reader carried out an analysis, which showed what the participants felt at a certain moment, or what their facial expressions were saying while they were listening to the ads. Ten random participants took part in the study. The tests were performed on random people, who, as we presupposed, were the most frequent radio listeners. The participants were between 20 and 60 years old. As our aim was to obtain an average value, the participants were both, female and male.
The results obtained with the Noldus Face Reader and those obtained through surveys, led to the same or very similar results. Both types of outcomes showed that the participants liked the same advertisement. The participants in general do not like listening to ads; however, they still listen to the radio up to ten hours a month in their cars.
