Why do some commercials cost more than others?
Supply and demand are factors, but the primary basis is the number of people who will see a commercial. The best way to compare the cost of individual commercials is to calculate the cost per viewer (CPV).

Isn't television too expensive for most small businesses?
No, but that is a common misconception. Several single-location retailers and restaurants that have used television for the first time are experiencing record-setting sales; some even doubled their January business.

How much does it cost to make a quality commercial?
There is no relationship between the cost and the effectiveness of a commercial. The most important aspect of a commercial is the message, not the amount spent making it. You can produce a commercial spot at a minimal investment.

How much should be spent on advertising?
First of all, advertising should be viewed as an investment. If you have the right message, have a clearly defined goal and your commercial reaches your customers with the right frequency, advertising will make money for you. The amount you should spend depends on what you want to accomplish and how many customers it will take to achieve your goal.

How can you measure the effectiveness of advertising?
The obvious measurement is whether you achieved your goal (e.g., sell as many units as you planned). If your advertising plan includes multiple forms of advertising (television, radio, print, etc.) you must have separate goals for each in order to measure them individually.
