Frequently Asked Questions

Call discounttvspots at 877-542-0499

•	Is the price for commercials really $4.99?
	That's right! Only $4.99 per 30 second commercial. DiscountTVspots designed to be effective and affordable. Our automated system allows us to keep costs down and your prices low. This is how we can afford to offer such an incredible rate.
•	Will my commercial be on cable?
	DiscountTVspots airs primarily on broadcast television stations.  Anyone with an indoor or outdoor antenna can receive our programming for free. A few of our stations, however, are also on Cable.  For a complete list of stations, please click [here].
•	How many stations can I be on at once?
	We would like nothing more than your marketing experience to be a success. That said, if you'd like to run your commercial on more than one station at a time, you can do so. A word of caution though: the more times someone sees your commercial, the more likely they will act to obtain your service or product. We suggest no more than two or three stations at a time.
•	Does anybody watch your stations?
	Yes! Although we do not have viewing audiences like major network affiliates, our viewers are loyal and diverse.
•	What if I don't have a commercial already produced?
	If you are new to television advertising, you probably don't have a commercial that's ready to go on the air. If this is the case, we are fully equipped to handle your production needs.
•	How much will the production of my commercial cost?
	DiscountTVspots offers quality production of your commercial at a competitive fixed-rate cost of $500.00. The production includes concept/writing, audio recording, video recording, and post editing. If there is a need for actors or any costly additions (i.e. 3D graphics, animation, etc.) these will be paid for by the client, in addition to the $500.00 fee.
•	Is there a minimum I have to buy?
	Commercials must be purchased in blocks of 100. This amount tends to give your commercial enough time to work! Statistics show that people need to see or be exposed to a commercial seven (7) times before they will take action. That means your commercial, like everything else, takes a little time to reach its maximum potential.
•	Does my commercial have to be exactly 30 seconds long?
	Commercials 30 seconds in length are quite common. If you'd like to run a commercial 60 seconds in length or longer, you are welcome to do so.  Please see our [rates] for more information.
•	Can I choose the exact time my commercial will run?
	At this time you are not able to choose an exact time for your commercial to air. But don't worry, you're commercial will NOT be cast into overnights. Our system works on a 24 hour rotator.
•	Is there anything I cannot advertise?
	There are some limitations as to what can be advertised with DiscountTVspots. Alcohol cannot be advertised on our stations. Likewise, any commercial that might be considered too risqué or offensive may not qualify as suitable.
•	Can I pay with a credit card?
	Credit card is the preferred method of payment with DiscountTVspots. We gladly accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. If you do not wish to pay with a credit card, company or personal checks are accepted. All payment is in advance for the specified length of the run.
•	Are there any special deals I should know about?
	We offer some incentive packages for those who wish to advertise for six months or longer.
•	How do I get started?
	Getting started is as easy as picking up the phone. You can also contact us by email using the Proposal Request Form (needs link) on this website. Don't hesitate to call with any questions or concerns you may have. Call toll-free at (877) 542-0499 or locally at 436-0499. We look forward to working with you.
