Should You Advertise on TV – Marketing
Should You Advertise on TV
BIG Mike McDaniel
When people discover my background in advertising, the questions flow. One of the most frequent questions is "Should I advertise on TV"
I cant answer that questions until I ask a number of questions first.
Do you have an advertising plan
Are you working on a firm budget
What are you trying to accomplish with your advertising
Where are you spending your money now
Usually by the 4th question the happy face becomes one of disappointment.
Contractors dont build a building without a plan, and you shouldnt advertise without a plan. The first action is to determine what you want your advertising to do. Most small and medium businesses do not have the bucks for long term image, so they focus on a call to action or proclaiming benefits not features.
Can TV do that Probably. Can you afford it Probably not. Local TV ads even in the smallest of television markets are expensive. You can buy cheap ads, but the cost is factored to the number of viewers. The cheaper the ads, the fewer the viewers. How many folks do you know are glued to the tube at 5:45 AM
You can get on TV by using the Cable TV in your market. With Cable, you can buy a package thats spread over 15 or more cable channels. Beware the number of viewers and the shoddy production. Get my article "Cable Ads 5 Bucks" by sending a blank eMail to MailTo:CableAds@BigIdeasGroup.com.
Some people in business believe you havent "arrived" until your business is on TV or on a billboard, or both. Funny, I know of hundreds of businesses making big bucks that dont use either.

Satellite TV Installation: DIY or get the Pros

One of the question that always arise when you are setting up your satellite TV system: to get installation service by professional or to install by own
Which is the best way to go for installation of a satellite TV system
Few years ago, satellite TV installation price, ranging from $100 to $200 is quite a burden for those who wanted to start off their satellite TV system. Hence, self installation is preferable. But things are different now, as you might already knew, satellite TV retailers are offering professional satellite system installation for free. So, why bother Free, professional satellite TV installation are of course recommended.
From the feedback of customers that installed their own satellite systems, we noticed that satellite TV installation job might get into real disaster and cause a lot of difficuties. Finding the signal and adjusting the dish for signal strength can take quite some time, while, a professional will have equipment to get the job done in minutes. Your installation will also look a lot better.
Hence, there really is no reason to do all this work if it can now be done for free. You can expect to set aside a whole day to do this job if you decide to have a go at it.

Getting a strong satellite signal is probably the most important part of the task. This will safe guard you from weather blackouts or disruptions of any kind.
Warranty factor is also another issue you might need toi consider when you install your satellite TV system by your own. Some places will not honor their warranty if you dont let the satellite TV pros do it. If you can get it done for free I say let them handle it. That way you can enjoy the excellent entertainment quality that satellite TV brings without breaking a sweat.
Either way you choose to have your satellite TV installation. You will be experiencing the best in television entertainment. Whether your a sports or movie fan you will be blown away by the quality, interactivity, and entertainment options satellite TV has.
