$50 Local TV Ads...

[chefjeff]

Hi Owners,

I was just researching some biz stuff and came across something that could be of value to all you pool room owners.

It is a company that will run TV ads in whatever locale you want for just $50. AND they have already produced the ads and therefore the total cost for you is considerably less than you could do for yourself. Way less.

Here's one of the ads they've produced that is specific to a pool hall:

Type in "billiards" in the search.​

Here's the article about the concept of Spot Runner:

​

Not sure if this is of help, but maybe?.....I think the whole concept is fascinating and probably the way of the future.

fwiw,

$50 for a produced television advert is a steal, but I see it runs for $500? I see the article in the second link says $50... what am I missing?

I think it is $50 to run the spot and $500 to get the spot to run.

It still is pretty good for a small business to use vs. creating the whole thing on your own.

Just trying to help the owners make lots o' money!

go to your local cable company. We run ads on ESPN and ESPN2, Comedy Central, etc in the Macon and Warner Robins areas. We had a package where we got 1 ad on Monday Night Football everyMonday Night and then 300 more commercials on the channels I choose for $1100.00 a month +1 time fee of $300 to shoot and produce the commercial.

You will be amazed at how cheap it is to run in prime time on specific cable channels
