HomeWhat Makes Cheap TV Spots® Smarter
We may be dogs, but we have really large brains.
We offer: creativity - imagination - memorability - message-focused brand recognition - originality.
Most discount TV commercial producers in the USA are, at best, wedding videographers or industrial video editors, and a few are just greasy accountants slapping images together with the free software that came on their off-brand home computer. As long as you don't mind your commercial looking like an overly-long home video or a documentary on meat packing (and you don't care whether TV networks will accept it), these home-brewed firms are fine.
Cheap TV Spots®, on the other hand, is the one agency that provides the expertise of Hollywood film professionals for the same price as those off-brand goofballs. We have the respected international and national awards to prove it. There's an art to architecting an effective TV commercial. It's serious business. It requires skill and marketing sense, and the ability to see the client's product or service through the eyes of the audience -- your customer.
We're nationwide - we can work with you regardless of your location.
We're the only ad agency out there that guarantees your television commercial will be all original. We custom design a unique, compelling commercial for your product or service. Unlike other low cost production companies, we don't simply add your name to the end of a "canned" presentation. It's in our NO TEMPLATES Freshness Guarantee.
We continuously add new SPECIAL EFFECTS to our editing suites - MORE MOVIE MAGIC for the same low price!
YOU MAY ASK: "How 'bout those automated services started by computer geeks that promise great ads for pennies?"
Those companies are actually great advertising... for us. After a business goes through the geek-mill and gets a crappy, robot-made ad, they come to us to do it right. Even if you are one of the victims seduced by the Silicon Valley venture capitalists who have unleashed a crap-torrent of unworkable, automated ad services on unsuspecting small business people, YOU ARE IN LUCK. Just send us your commercial crap-fest in any format -- and we'll make that sow's ear shine (or make that old shoe into a silk purse?). We don't use their images. We just look at what they have screwed up (and it's good for a laugh in the break room). Then we'll give you a discount, and make you an ad that's really good. It's our "Fix-Your-Ad Special."
Why We ONLY Do All-Original TV Ads
NO TEMPLATES: "Why don't I want a template-based ad?" - Sure, they seem cheap at first, but they'll come back to bite you. These guys make your ad using pre-made templates by inserting your company information over the top of a pre-made video boilerplate.
Template ads let your competitors use the same boilerplate ad you're using, and other businesses can use the same template, even in your own market. That's like the opposite of effective branding. As for being cheap - making your ad is just a way to hook you into their impersonal, automated website to buy way over-priced air time (from 20-40 percent more). The few dollars you think you've saved on production are sucked up by overpriced air time, and then some. On average, a waste of as much as $24,000 in a year, for a small, local TV schedule.
With Cheap TV Spots, you get a memorable, all-original ad, and air time at the most competitive rates - no padding, no kidding.
Lots of companies you find online claim to understand your needs, and offer you tempting treats like impossibly low prices or wildly unrealistic promises of advertising results. Truth is, many of them hardly have their paws wet in the television production world, much less taken a dip in the mirky waters of buying air time. Stick with us, and you'll get our great no-nonsense service, national quality productions and expertise that come from our real life experience in the trenches of the advertising battlefield.
TV/WEB/PRINT SYNERGY: Like any real agency, we know the value of the synergy between your TV campaign and your print, online, outdoor, and other media. Tell us what you're planning, or what you've done so far. We'll create a fully custom Cheap TV Spot that fits right into your campaign, and pushes your marketing efforts over the top!
WE'VE ALSO HEARD: My producer makes me buy air time from him. What's the Cheap TV Spots story?
Simple. We'd love to air your spot for you, but it's your choice. We let you air your Cheap TV Spot yourself, if you like, for seven years, for only a small license fee (included on Rapid-Ad and above). This is perfect if, say, you already have a family member in the TV biz. Many clients and other agencies ask us why we are so lenient. Again, that's simple. You'd have to be crazy to buy your own air time. We'd rather not have crazy clients.
But seriously, we are entrepreneurs ourselves. We know you need flexibility -- especially in the start-up phase. We don't want to cramp your style.
What Makes Cheap TV Spots® Faster
Okay, so we put more work into each commercial. Seems like it would take a lot longer. It doesn't! Our Super Secret Streamlined System™ allows us to craft our on-of-a-kind, great-looking ads faster than your local producer (or nephew) can, and way faster than the big agencies or even the local cable companies. Not only that, because we have professional skills and equipment at our fingertips - and this really is our day job - we can pack each commercial with great looking images, professional sound, and modern editing techniques.
Bottom line: The faster you can get on the air, the faster you can start reaping the rewards of your television campaign.
What Makes Cheap TV Spots® Cheaper
Our low cost flat-rate productions and targeted air time make it easier than ever to create a market test campaign and try out your offer in the marketplace.
EVERYTHING'S INCLUDED - Affordable TV commercials that look like you paid much more. Everything you need for a ready-to-run TV commercial, for one low, flat, up-front fee. You won't rack up an hourly rate because we don't charge by the hour. Our simplified "Gumball Billing" means you pay one fee, get one ready-to-air commercial. Simple as that.
Quality Production: We create a national quality ad for a local producer price. So, why can't your average local producer do the same thing? In a word: imagination. Apparently, it's in short supply; but not at Cheap TV Spots®!
There are a handful of cut-rate, low quality services out there that offer to make you an ad for less money than Cheap TV Spots®. In our experience, that ad you get from those wiseguys isn't really something you'd be proud to put on the airwaves. Usually they start with a canned, pre-made commercial and simply slap on the client's name. People who get those ads wind up coming to us for a re-do.
Targeted Air Time: Targeted to reach just the customers you want, without breaking your budget. There are a lot of air time combinations out there. Imagine... all the channels on your home cable system, multiplied by every neighborhod, in every US city. That's a lot of places to air, and with 24 hours in each day, that's millions of possible airings PER DAY. And that's just the local airings; it doesn't even include the nationwide airings. With the millions of air time combos out there to choose from, it's hard to know what's the best place and time to be on TV -- unless you have the help of Cheap TV Spots®! We can select cities, times, and networks that reach your desired customer and are relevant to your product or service.
