How does audience selectivity guide media selection?
IntroductionToBusiness OP 8D04gAa / 12.7. The Importance of Personal Selling*
"Media selection is also a matter of matching the advertising medium with the product’s target market. If marketers are trying to reach teenage females, they might select Seventeen magazine. If they are trying to reach consumers over 50 years old, they may choose AARP: The Magazine. A medium’s ability to reach a precisely defined market is its audience selectivity. Some media vehicles, such as general newspapers and network television, appeal to a wide cross section of the population. Others—such as Brides, Popular Mechanics, Architectural Digest, MTV, ESPN, and Christian radio stations—appeal to very specific groups. Marketers must also consider utilizing various social media platforms and which platforms are most likely to reach the targeted market."
