Cheap TV Spots Offers Advertisers 5 Offline Advertising Tips


Imagine running your business without Google. With soaring online ad cost and disastrous Google algorithm changes, many businesses need alternatives. Five tips for the post-Google era in 2013.


How should your business find customers?  The standard answer used to be to simply rank well on Google.  Business owners set up websites, keywords, articles, link exchanges, and blogs, and watched traffic pour in.  Now, those same steps can get a site banned from Google, and it’s a fight to regain lost ground.  For some businesses, it is a losing battle.  Small businesses now enter the post-Google age.  There is no need to be tied down to a company that doesn't want to be tied to you. 

Here are 5 tips for Google-free business in 2013:

Go 100% online free.  This “cold-turkey” approach eliminates wasted man-hours and unrealistic expectations.  Social marketing may be hip, but for many small businesses it is time consuming, has not proven itself thru actual sales, and may even invite trouble.  At best, lots of people click “like,” and at worst, no one clicks “buy.”  With social sites changing their rules at will, your social media effort could unexpectedly capsize your marketing boat, too.

Get to the job of selling - and be ready when people need what you sell. In business, making a sale trumps making a “friend” or “follower.”  The real job of a business is to make money. Customers don’t really need a one-on-one conversation to make every purchase.  A family-owned lawn maintenance company, for example, does not need online "fans" and barely needs a website, except to list services and contact information.  Most local small business can afford to advertise on local television with [b]CheapTVSpots.com[/b] and quickly become known as the trusted brand in the local community.

Use branding to recruit future customers.  People go with what they trust -- this is the basic concept of branding.  Brand advertising focuses on leaving a good impression with potential customers and is most effective via TV, radio, and print, where you get the opportunity to tell your story, uninterrupted.  This positive impression (goodwill) sticks with people, even if they're not ready to buy at that moment.  Goodwill really counts when a consumer is ready to choose between friendly, familiar, trustworthy "you" or unknown "them."  

Make advertising a consistent part of the company budget.  Cutting advertising is like cutting off your oxygen supply.  To breathe life into sales, it is vital to increase advertising.  The rule of thumb is to budget 10-15% of gross sales for advertising, but in a slow economic climate, more advertising is needed, not less -- spending 25% or more goes a long way to keep a business operational until sales pick up.

To attract customers, use traditional media.  Many types of traditional media are available at very reasonable rates.  Virtually no traditional advertising platforms have disappeared, having innovated to remain competitive and relevant. Successful businesses use television, radio, and print platforms every day.  Television is exceptionally effective. TV is called the "king of media" for its reach (98% of U.S. homes have at least one television), and studies have proven the consumer preference for finding out about new products and services via TV advertising.

Cheap TV Spots Welcomes Former Google TV Ads Users


Former users of the recently shuttered Google TV Ads effort are flocking to award-winning discount TV advertising agency Cheap TV Spots for low-cost, simple, convenient TV campaign alternatives.

Los Angeles - In the wake of Google’s shutdown of its 5-year experiment in self-service TV ads, the award-winning internet-based discount TV advertising agency CheapTVSpots.com welcomes former Google customers with a low-cost, hassle-free way to advertise on television. 

Cheap TV Spots, founded in 2001, offers award-winning TV commercials by its experienced in-house production team for low, flat rates, and provides targeted local, regional, and national media buying services with no additional commissions tacked onto the negotiated network rate, or complicated forms to manage.

“We’re excited to welcome advertisers to true, full-fledged TV advertising.  So far, we’ve had a number of former Google TV Ads users ask us to help them create a TV campaign,” says Cheap TV Spots spokesperson Jim Whelk. “They’re thrilled to find that we’re a one-stop shop, offering both excellent, custom TV commercial production and agency-style media buying service.”

CheapTVSpots.com reaches all TV households across the U.S. and Canada including all Cable TV, Broadcast TV, Satellite TV, and Telco households.  Altogether, the CheapTVSpots.com universe has a total reach of over three times the number of households in Google’s former TV system.

“One thing that always set us apart from Google is our amazingly good, award-winning in-house TV commercial production service.  Our thorough understanding of production gives us a considerable edge with the networks when it comes to getting clearance to air,” adds Whelk.

In a brief blog post, Google (GOOG) announced the shutdown of its 5-year-old experimental TV ad selling platform, “Google TV Ads,” the last of its attempted forays into traditional media sales (they had abandoned similar efforts in newspaper and radio advertising in 2009).  Google indicated it would refocus on online. 

Whelk says, “Even in this age of multi-screen households, the vast majority of free time is spent with TV.  Across-the-board, research by Nielsen and other respected authorities reveals that TV remains the venue of choice for entertainment and information.”

Founded by TV and film professionals in 2001, Cheap TV Spots is the leader in the low cost TV advertising sector, serving clients across the U.S. and internationally.  With over 200 international awards for excellence in TV commercial production, Cheap TV Spots is the most award-winning discount TV advertising agency in the world.  Cheap TV Spots offers targeted TV air time at the lowest negotiated network rates, without tacking on additional commissions, and without long-term contracts.  Cheap TV Spots is a service of Academy Leader, Inc., a multi-faceted multi-national media company that spans motion pictures, television, publishing, radio, and new media.

Cheap TV Spots Strikes Gold with Incredible 199th International Award for TV Commercial Production


Bringing their astounding total to 199 awards, the affordable, Internet-based TV advertising agency Cheap-TV-Spots.com wins the Gold Remi at the prestigious 2012 Worldfest competition.
Now reaching an unheard of total of 199 awards for TV commercial production, the world’s first internet-based discount TV advertising agency, Cheap TV Spots, is proud to claim the Gold Remi, presented by the prestigious Worldfest competition of 2012.  
Worldfest is the one of the longest running international film and TV festivals in North America, and Cheap-TV-Spots.com is the longest-operating producer of original, discount-priced TV commercials for the U.S. and international markets.
Cheap TV Spots offers two rare advantages for advertisers.  One, the experienced team at Cheap TV Spots crafts each low cost TV commercial production with Hollywood-style  creativity, imagination and marketing savvy, for the most effective presentation of the advertiser’s offer - our team innovates with every TV spot we do.  Two, Cheap TV Spots knows the broadcast television industry, and is one of the few independent TV commercial producers in the country that consistently creates technically compliant and broadcast-ready TV spots.  
Worldfest International Film & Video Competition WinnerTV commercial broadcast standards have become more complex since the digital conversion and passage of stricter laws governing content and technical specifications. Surprisingly, the vast majority of video producers today, whose main experience lies in web videos and other non-broadcast material, lack the technical knowledge and broadcast industry experience to be able to output a TV commercial that is likely to be technically acceptable by the networks.  Many of these video producers have never placed a TV ad on the air themselves, so they remain ignorant of the exacting standards that TV networks must adhere to, leaving their unwitting clients with ads that can't be aired.  
Fortunately, CheapTVSpots.com both produces TV commercials and airs TV commercials on all the broadcast networks, cable TV providers and satellite TV systems -- so we know what works creatively, and we know how to design commercial productions to adhere to the technical and content standards of the networks.
Cheap TV Spots serves a variety of advertisers including mesothelioma attorneys, credit and debt services, medical products, doctors and dentists, tax lawyers, entrepreneurs, toy industry, internet services, structured settlements, health care and healthcare providers, housewares, inventors, DUI lawyers, home repair, automotive sales and service, insurance, mortgages, real estate, sports, casino operators, amusement parks, hotel chains, data recovery, feature film, music labels, video games, edutainment, computer software and hardware, restaurants, charities, and home-based business owners and SMBs disenchanted with ineffective, expensive pay-per-click ad words.  
What’s more, CheapTVSpots.com produces across US cities such as San Diego, Los Angeles, Denver, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, St Louis, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, Boston, Detroit, Phoenix, Austin, Chicago, Raleigh, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Newark, Atlantic City, New York, and beyond.
