Do You Need Television Air Time?

Local, regional, or national air time: Unlike many TV advertising agencies, Cheap TV Spots® does not tack on additional commissions or fees onto your air time rate. No rate padding. Your rate is the lowest, negotiated network rate.

Targeted Air Time - LOCAL, REGIONAL or NATIONAL
We Can Show You How to Tailor Your TV Media Buy to Fit Your Budget

No minimum buy. No added commissions. No captive ads*. No long term air time contracts. No pressure. It's our "Airwave Orchestration Service." You'll get to talk to a real person. You set your budget for your media buy. We don't make you guess what channels are best for your campaign. Using your air time budget effectively saves you money. You're even free to air your commercial, yourself. Chances are, you can't do better by airing it on your own, but we wouldn't dream of getting in your way.

*What are "CAPTIVE ADS"? Some companies, especially the online do-it-yourself services and template ad companies, make your ad for cheap, maybe too cheap... it's captured in their system. You can't buy air time except through them. Once they have you locked in, they charge you more than the going rate for air time - 20% to 800% more (we checked!). You could end up spending lots more than you planned, or getting poor results because your ad dollar didn't go very far.


*Targeted air time Your ad airs on networks that fit your business, your customer, and your budget.

*We're NATIONWIDE!  We can help you with local, regional, or national air time.

Target geographically (even a single neighborhood) and by demographic (age, interests, income), to reach your customers where they live. You don't need just any old remnant air time, you need targeted air time to get the most for your advertising dollar. We can place your TV ad on premium networks, right where your customers are watching. READ MORE >

What's a Cheap TV Spot?

All-Inclusive (Yet Surprisingly Inexpensive) Unique and Memorable TV Ad

The Original Cheap TV Spots® was the first to bring you inexpensive, national quality, flat-fee TV ads featuring concept development, scripting, directing, filming, editing, special effects, music, narration, broadcast tape/media, and media buying help. We don't make you write your own script, or guess what will work best on TV. We don't just give you a do-it-yourself form; we listen, and do the whole thing for you. See how it works.

We're the only ad agency out there that guarantees your television commercial will be all original. It's in our Freshness Guarantee.

main ingredient is imaginationNational quality television commercials retail for an average of $372,000.00*. Yikes. Okay, those are the big dogs, but the average small business like yours can spend about $25,000 or more for production of a decent local or regional TV ad, and that doesn't include air time. Those other guys start you off cheap, and then talk you into spending tens of thousands of dollars to produce the ad, and you're not even on the air yet. What's up with that?

We're DIFFERENT.  We offer an inexpensive TV commercial for the affordable price that you'd expect to pay for an ad from your local cable TV outlet. How do we do it? Our Super Secret, Streamlined System. Plus, our simplified "Gumball Billing" means you pay one low fee, get one awesome commercial. Simple as that.

NATIONAL QUALITY - Our hand crafted ads win international awards, so you can bet YOUR TV AD will be of the highest quality. That's why we say, "only our price is cheap!" Find out how to get started with Cheap TV Spots®.

Why You Should Advertise on TV

Your Customers Are Watching... Advertise Like The BIG GUYS!

American households watch 8 hours and 18 minutes of television a day*. The highest it has been since Nielsen began documenting viewership in the 1950s. Impressive. The numbers have steadily grown since 1998, when the average viewership was 7 hours and 15 minutes a day.

TV advertising can be cheaper than those spendy paid listings on Google, Bing or Yahoo!, and TV can be even more targeted (heck, TV practically invented the idea of targeted ads). And every TV viewer is an opt-in customer!

Since you're here, we're pretty sure you know why TV is great for your business. We put together a few of our own reasons, so you can tell your friends.  READ MORE -->

Who uses Cheap TV Spots®?

  • Entrepreneurs, small businesses, start-ups, inventors, filmmakers, music promoters, international vendors, financial services, restaurants, real estate, attorneys, dentists, performers, and charitable organizations.
  • Advertisers who don't want to micro-manage; they want an agency to handle the creative work, produce an effective TV ad, and schedule air time. (Or those who already have an ad, and just need air time.)
  • New businesses entering the marketplace who need to put their best foot forward in a highly competitive business sector.
  • Online entrepreneurs who want to take advantage of the synergy that, statistics show, is emerging between TV viewership and the web.
  • Established businesses who are unsatisfied with the amateurish local look and hackneyed style of the ad that was made for them by a local cable or broadcast TV station.
  • Advertisers whose TV ad was "captured" by an ad service, so they don't have the flexibility to air the commercial on their own, when and where they choose.
  • Businesses whose canned spot from an automated online service didn't do justice to their unique business or express their competitive advantages.
  • Inventors who want to avoid the pitfalls of invention submission companies and the risk of losing patents or trade secrets.
