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.

Announcing "TV Ad Rate Store" at TVAds.TV for Air Time Rates

The world’s most award-winning affordable TV advertising agency, Cheap-TV-Spots.com, launches its new “TV Ad Rate Store” at TVAds.tv - a quick and easy way for small businesses, start-ups, entrepreneurs and other advertisers to get current rates for TV air time, so they can be sure they’re getting the best deal.

Los Angeles -- Want to know what TV airings really cost before you commit to an air time purchase?  Want to find out what the real TV network rate is, stripped of agency fees?  Want to keep your media buyer honest?  To address the constantly changing landscape for TV advertising, the world’s most award-winning affordable television advertising agency, Cheap-TV-Spots.com, announces the “TV Ad Rate Store” at TVAds.tv -  a brand new, low cost, no obligation TV air time rate research service.

The TV Ad Rate Store(tm) TVAds.TV

With the proliferation of venture-funded, if poorly designed, online interfaces for do-it-yourself TV air time buying, CheapTVSpots.com is stepping up to the plate to offer SMBs, entrepreneurs, and marketers a new way to get a handle on actual air time cost, with no obligation to buy. 

Cheap TV Spots encourages businesses to visit the TV Ad Rate Store at www.TVAds.tv for up-to-date air time cost research and TV advertising expertise.

The TV Ad Rate Store helps businesses find out the current TV air time cost for their desired network, daypart, or even a specific TV show.  This is an unbiased snapshot of the current rates for the advertiser’s desired airings.  Advertisers can research a single rate, or they can get a proposed airing schedule that focuses on their desired customer.

Importantly, the TV Ad Rate Store gives advertisers the actual negotiated network air time rate, not a computer-generated “bid” price.  This means that advertisers know in advance the network’s current, per-spot rate, not padded with extra commissions.  

Entrepreneurs and SMBs can get actual TV ad rates to plug into their marketing budget calculations.  Businesses can find out ahead of time what to expect for their advertising dollar.  Start-ups can build ad rate research into their business plan.  The TV Ad Rate Store can also evaluate the advertiser’s TV commercial for creative effectiveness and technical network compliance (“network clearance”).  Advertisers can order air time for their cleared commercial through the TV Ad Rate Store, too, if desired.

The TV Ad Rate Store is a helpful resource for custom rate research, not an online, do-it-yourself “bid” system.  One of the difficulties that many advertisers encounter with online TV air time “bid” systems hyped by venture capital firms is that they end up paying far more than the network’s regular rate.  The bid rate is padded with extra commissions by the online bid system, often 20-percent to 40-percent, sometimes even more.  The TV Ad Rate Store offers real, negotiated network air time rates - no padding.

Some online TV ad services force the advertiser to format their TV commercial so that it will only work for their proprietary system, but not air on standard TV networks, locking the ad into their own small group of participating systems.  

The TV Ad Rate Store can research and place ads on any cable system, satellite system or broadcast network.  Advertisers can be on TV anywhere they desire, even internationally.  The TV Ad Rate Store is backed by the experienced team that founded the Original Cheap-TV-Spots.com.

Cheap TV Spots and the TV Ad Rate Store serve a variety of advertisers, including mesothelioma attorneys, credit and debt services, tax lawyers, structured settlements, DUI lawyers, life insurance, auto insurance, remortgages, doctors, dentists, data recovery, books, DVDs, housewares, real estate, dating sites, retailers, online shopping, and more, across US cities such as San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin, Raleigh, and Philadelphia, and internationally.
