Nu Voodoo Media reports that Smart Speaker growth in the US market continues to grow at a rapid pace.\u00a0 More than 3 out of 5 persons in the 14-54 demographic now own them. Perhaps it is time to start paying attention to this phenomenon.\u00a0 Smart Speaker growth may not be as rapid in your market as it is in the US but like Smart Phones it may be just a matter of time before Smart Speakers become commonplace throughout developed media markets.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1093\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bprworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/chart1.gif?resize=416%2C197\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"197\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even more surprising is the preferred listening location for Smart Speakers \u2013 the bedroom.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1094\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bprworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/chart2.gif?resize=416%2C165\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"165\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We all pay a lot of attention to car and workplace listening but when was the last time we thought of home listening. The Smart Speaker has invaded the home in a big way. Bedroom, kitchen and living room are top listening locations. When was the last time you thought about bedroom listening to your station?<\/p>\n<p>In the old days (10 years ago or more!) the clock radios were a common bedroom device.\u00a0 The Smart Speaker is quickly filling the void left by that old and barely listenable clock radio.<\/p>\n<p><em>Listeners need to be reminded that they can listen to your station on their Smart Speaker \u2013 and radio stations are uniquely positioned to describe for listeners\u00a0exactly\u00a0how to access the station on their device. It&#8217;s imperative that your stream is encoded so that these new quarter hours are tracked. And it&#8217;s critical that your stream sounds great. But as these devices become mainstream, this is an opportunity too big to ignore. ***<\/em><\/p>\n<p>At a time when broadcast radio is competing with more and more new media, the Smart Speaker may be an ideal pathway into your listener\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>***Research and survey data courtesy of NuVoodoo Media Group.<\/p>\n<p>Read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allaccess.com\/nuvoodoo\/archive\/28712\/too-big-to-ignore-radio-in-the-bedroom\">original article<\/a> here<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Andy Beaubien, BPR The growth of Smart Speakers has taken many industry people by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1097,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bprworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/audio-blur-close-up-1034653.jpg?fit=5184%2C3410","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1092"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1092\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1101,"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1092\/revisions\/1101"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bprworld.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
