TV advertising tips for small businesses

Television provides the challenge of combining verbal cues, images and language to create a total viewing experience. TV ads are not reserved for big corporations only. Today, when there are so many channels and community TV outlets, it’s easier than ever to build a successful and affordable TV campaign.

When thinking about TV advertising, it’s always better to spread your campaign over a long period, than spend your entire budget on one, shiny commercial that will be aired only once or twice.

Still, you want to avoid looking like an amateur. You should always consider hiring a professional agency. It might seem like the easiest thing, taking a camera and shooting a 30 second video, but most chances are that you will end up like the local “we’ve gone crazy!” salesman.

Like this crazy fellow... I wouldn't buy a car from him if you'd pay me!



Or this one... This is what happens when you are your own stunt man:



At Wilen Media, we’re excited by the opportunity to fully capture the mission of our clients by constructing the way in which viewers will perceive the television spot in its entirety. And we’re confident that our unique interplay of sound, image and language in the final piece is one that consumes viewers and products consumers.
