Why Businesses Should Release an Ad on Aaj Tak during the Lockdown Period?

The sudden strike of coronavirus has taken a toll on our health, regular activities and majorly the economy of various countries. With that being said, India is one of those countries where the pandemic has taken a serious leap. With the quest to stop the virus from spreading, the government of the nation has called a lockdown in all the states, thereby putting the nation in a standstill position. This step has also slowed down the nation's economic growth as most of the firms and organizations have stopped working with a very few operating from home. Hence, in this, how can brands/businesses make their presence felt among their trusted customers?

While the circulation of newspapers has declined to a large scale, the viewership of TV channels since the lockdown has seen a boom. With everyone in their home and having not much to do, Indian households are turning to TV channels to watch old TV shows hitting nostalgia. Not just that, the viewership of news channels have also increased as people want to stay updated about the current situation. Hence, with this silver lining, businesses are making sure to release television ads to reach their target audience. However, what makes Aaj Tak one of the best news channels to release an ad? Here are the reasons.

Do you Know these Numbers Signifying the Success of the Channel?

From week 12 of 2020, a nationwide lockdown was announced by the government of India. In the 12th week of 2020, Aaj Tak news channel recorded an impression of 654000. This is 361% more than week 9 when the lockdown was not officially announced. The channel's gross impression by the end of week 12 touched a massive 532102000 impressions, thereby making it the top Hindi news channel in the nation. It garnered 56% more viewership than its competitors, thereby encouraging businesses to release an advertisement on Aaj Tak. What's more?

The channel had also topped the chart with a reach of 23.8 crores in week 12.
