Question

What is the cost of a 30 second Advertisment on US national TV?

Answer 1

depends on what channel - what time frame - I ran commericals once on USA and HGTV for about $1,000 for three 30 sec ads ran 3 times a day 3 days per week for a month (although that was 2 yrs ago) so I'm sure it's increased

contact a TV rep and ask - they'd be more than happy to tell you how much and offer discounts for bulk packages - good luck

Answer 2

It really depends on frequency.  If you plan a campaign, your individual rate goes down b/c you're buying a lot of their inventory and they can afford to make more money on you over LOTS of ads than ONE ad.  FOr example, the local cable company may tell you one spot is $350 on CNN or $12 on HGTV, but if you go to an ad agency (they spend millions of dollars total across all their clients....) they can probably negotiate on your behalf to secure lower rates for you.

Answer 3

Here you go. Essentially, it depends on the channel/network, the time of day and so on.

Answer 4

every channel and time slot is going to be different - you would be better off adverting on smaller local channels in the major marketplaces - probably a lot cheaper with similar coverage
