Infomercials
and Direct Response (DRTV) Ads:
Budget priced, 1-minute to 30-minute high quality infomercials
and direct response commercials. High quality at a bargain
rate. Only your customers won't know you paid less!
MORE
THAN ONE PRODUCT OR SERVICE? SELLING ON THE WEB OR WITH A 1-800
NUMBER?: We recommend going to a 1-minute
or 2-minute format -- you can go into the detail you need
to fully explain and promote your product line to your potential
customers.
60-Second,
90-Second, or 2-Minute Mini-Infomercials,
Video Brochures -
Unique video productions, starting at less than $4,000
per 1-minute chunk. Great for trade shows and events! Of course,
we'll help you place your Mini-Infomercial on cable,
satellite, or broadcast TV! Video Brochures available
on VHS videotape or CD-ROM, for competitive rates.
30-minute
Infomercials: For our hyper-discount 30-minute productions, budget approximately $4,000 per minute of finished video.
About
our low infomercial production rates: Many infomercial producers charge anywhere from $60,000 to $500,000, even $1 million to provide a 30-minute infomercial. These productions are generally quite good, and are certainly worth the price. Although our infomercials are not intended to take the place of a "highly produced" infomercial such as the ones these high-line producers offer, we provide a very good, low cost production, suitable for most infomercial needs. Our infomercial productions are designed to help you get your product or service on the air in an effective, interesting infomercial message, and within the boundaries of a start-up budget.
NOTE - We Take Product Claims Seriously: We are dedicated to making your direct response advertising interesting, accurate, and profitable. All we need to get started is your product or service information, product samples, and documentation representing proof of claims to be made. We include in your advertisement only those claims that can be substantiated; for example, we can include claims based on research results from a double-blind study on your product. The FCC, FTC, and FDA watch your commercial, too. We insist on proof of product claims for your protection, ours, and
most importantly, your customer's.

A
La Carte - Cheap TV Spots are
carefully crafted for their psychological, sociological, and emotional
impact on your potential customer, so we really don't like to
tinker with "the idea" once we're done. Remember,
the message isn't for YOU, it's for YOUR CUSTOMER. In our experience,
the first idea is invariably the best idea. That's why we take
charge, and we get it right the first time.
That
said, suppose you've seen your Video Proof, and you really don't
see any typos or bloopers, but...you just can't resist making
your mark on the spot.
We
know that in this wild world of business, just about anything
can happen. We wouldn't want you to be dissatisfied with your
spot. A La Carte lets you make those after-the-last-minute, tactical
changes.
Starting at just $599, and priced per change, rather than per hour, A
La Carte is a great bargain. For a description of our policy

Additional
Broadcast Tapes:
With each Cheap TV Spot, we create 1 Broadcast Tape in the format
appropriate for the network where we're going to air your spot.
Broadcast tapes are considered "disposable" by
the cable companies, and unfortunately, they are rarely sent back
for re-use. If you're ready for us to air your spot in more than one area, we'll make you additional Broadcast Tapes for $150 each (includes tape creation, plus shipping and handling).

CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS -Yes, we're connected! Thanks to our many years in and around the
Hollywood milieu, as a special service we can engage a celebrity
(actor, sports figure, model, public personage, etc.) to endorse
your product or service. We can recommend the type of celebrity
best suited for reaching your customers.
In the area of celebrity endorsements, there are legal issues, as well as negotiations to get the celebrity's participation for a fair price. The cost for this service varies with the rate customarily accepted by the celebrity. Rates are set by the celebrity's agents and business management at the time of negotiation.

LICENSES
- Cheap TV Spots® come with a generous license agreement that enables
your spot to be aired on any broadcast, cable, or satellite
system, when you schedule your air time through Cheap TV
Spots.
Because we are an independent advertising
agency, not bound to a single TV network or cable outlet, we can
air your commercial anywhere you desire.
Our air time media buying service doesn't
cost you a penny extra, and in fact, we are able to get you discounts
that wouldn't be available to you, if you approach the networks
on your own.
Licenses for those wishing to book their own air time locally can be purchased for a fee, payable at
commencement of production.
