FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our TV Advertising Service.
When it comes to TV advertising, the cost isn’t just a simple flat fee. The cost is going to depend on things like where you want your ad to air, how many times you want it to run, who you’re trying to reach with your message, and how long you want your campaign to last.
For example, if you’re just trying to reach people in your local area, your costs are going to be a lot different than if you’re trying to reach a whole region or even the entire state. A local campaign is also going to have a totally different strategy and budget than a bigger, statewide media buy.
Our team at Dillon Media Group can help you determine a realistic advertising budget based on your goals and then build a media plan around it. We can also handle both the production of your commercial and the placement of your TV advertising so that everything works together to get you the best results.
Yes. TV is still a great way to get your message out to a lot of people in a specific area and build name recognition for your business. It’s especially useful when you want to reach people in a particular market and have them see and hear your message repeatedly.
TV can also work with other forms of advertising, like social media, online search, and more. Someone might watch your ad on TV at home, and then later on, when they’re ready to take action, they’ll search for your business online to get in touch, visit, or buy something.
There is no one-size-fits-all TV advertising budget. Your budget should depend on the size of your market, your target audience, the stations or programming you want to appear on, and how long you plan to advertise. It’s all about finding the right fit for your specific needs and goals, and rather than simply buying a few commercials, we look at how your budget can be used to create enough frequency for people to remember your business.
Frequency matters. Seeing a commercial once is usually not enough for someone to remember your business, especially if they are not currently looking for your product or service. A good TV advertising schedule gives your audience multiple opportunities to see your message over time. We can help you determine how often your commercial should run based on your budget and goals.
Yes. Our team at Dillon Media Group provides both video production and media buying services. Our team can help you with planning, scripting, filming, editing, graphics, voiceovers, music, and other production needs. Once your commercial is ready, we can also handle getting it placed on TV with the appropriate stations and programming.
Most television commercials are produced in standard lengths such as 15 or 30 seconds, although other lengths may be available depending on the station, platform, and campaign.
The length we use depends on what you need to communicate. Sometimes 15 seconds is enough for a simple offer or reminder. Other campaigns benefit from 30 seconds to introduce the business and give viewers more reason to take action.
That depends on who you are trying to reach. Your commercial may run on local broadcast stations, cable networks, connected TV platforms, or a combination of placements. We help identify the stations, programs, geographic areas, and audiences that make the most sense for your business instead of simply placing commercials wherever airtime is available.
In many cases, yes. TV advertising can be purchased around specific programs, networks, times of day, audience demographics, or broader schedules. However, the most popular show is not always the best advertising opportunity for your business. We’ll take a look at audience, reach, frequency, cost, and your goals when recommending where your commercial should run.
Media buying is the process of planning, negotiating, purchasing, and managing advertising placements. Instead of contacting individual TV stations yourself, Dillon Media Group can manage the media-buying process for you. We’ll check out local opportunities, negotiate your placements, build your airing schedule, communicate with the stations, and help make sure your advertising dollars are being used strategically.
Yes. Media rates can vary based on the station, programming, time slot, season, demand, campaign length, and other factors. Because we work directly with these media representatives, we can negotiate advertising schedules and look for opportunities to get the most value possible from your budget.
TV advertising can be measured in several ways depending on the goal of your campaign. That might include website traffic, phone calls, leads, sales, promotional redemptions, branded searches, or overall increases in awareness. We help you determine this before the campaign begins, which gives us something meaningful to measure.
That depends on what you’re advertising. A strong limited-time offer may generate responses quickly, while a branding campaign is created to build familiarity and trust over a longer period of time.
Being consistent is what’s key. When your target audience keeps seeing your business and recognizes your name, it sticks in their heads. So, when they finally need something you offer, they’re more likely to think of you. It’s all about making a lasting impression and being top of mind. The more they see you, the more they’ll remember you, and that’s what it’s all about.
No. Local television advertising can work for businesses of many sizes. You do not necessarily need a national-brand budget to advertise either. The key for us is choosing the right market, audience, schedule, and campaign. We can help you determine if TV makes sense for your business and what type of investment would be realistic for you.
Don’t settle for marketing that’s easy to miss. Let’s work together to create a TV campaign that gets your business noticed and brings in new customers from your community.
