Yes. I always start with a script, because it acts as a blueprint for your project.

Yes, you can write your own script. Please keep in mind that the final script must be read by a narrator in under 30 or 60 seconds, depending on the length of the ad you are producing.

You can of course make any changes to the script you like. Please keep in mind that the final script must be read by a narrator in under :30 or :60 seconds, depending on the length you are producing.

We accept Visa, MC, Discover, American Express, PayPal, checks and wire transfers.

I can put you with a professional time buyer, who will negotiate for you – or you can contact TV and cable stations on your own. Most people get better deals with one of our pros working with them. More about time buying

It does not cost you more to buy your time through a time buyer. The cable and TV stations give them an agency discount that they do not give you, and the time buyers take their profit from that discount. So you can benefit from their abilities and resources without spending any extra money. More about time buying

There is no easy answer to this question without more information about your goals. To find the best fit for your company, our expert media buyers would ask questions about your target demographic and what budget you are comfortable with. Then, we could show you a proposal that would have the most potential for success. More about time buying

For example, will I receive information on how long people stayed on the commercial or how many viewings we had, etc.

To the best of my knowledge, neither over the air TV stations or cable stations have a way of doing this. The best way to track the effectiveness of your commercial is to create a method yourself – such as having people go to a specific website, call a specific phone number, respond to a specific offer that is unique to the TV ad, or track sales in a specific test market during a test run of the ad in that market.

We include one send with the cost of  producting the ads. Sending the TV ad to additional stations is $50 for each additional station.

I send the TV ads to stations across the country through an electronic delivery service. This ensures excellent quality. Your purchase price includes sending the TV ad to one TV station within the first 30 days after the TV ad is purchased.

It normally takes about 24 hours from the time it is sent.

The cost of our ads include sending the ad to one TV station or cable outlet. We charge a small fee for additional sends. I can provide you with a copy of the MPEGII file we send to the stations, but most stations will only accept it directly from a delivery company such as Extreme Reach, the company we use for most of our digital deliveries. Stations have their own individual technical specifications that vary – Extreme Reach converts the file to meet those individual specs.
