Of these, Cheap-TV-Spots.com is the best deal. The air time costs less with CheapTVSpots.com because they don't pad, and their high quality ads can air nationally as well as locally. Spotrunner does not seem to allow national airings of its look-alike ads or 60-second airings. Also, Spotrunner will sell the same ad to your competitor should you stop airing with them (which is the absolute antithesis of branding). Spotrunner also holds the ad and prevents you from airing with another agency, forcing you to buy Spotrunner's more expensive air time (they even say they may add fees to their air time cost). It costs less for Cheap TV Spots to produce a custom ad with a national TV campaign than it could cost for Spotrunner to make a local canned ad with local air time. Cheap-TV-Spots also can provide a full web version of the ad for e-mail campaigns and web site posting. Another thing of note is whether an ad is memorable. Cheap-TV-Spots.com has won over 50 international awards for their original discount ads. That's more awards than most agencies have clients.

The library of stock TV advertisements that you can use and customize for as little as $500, are of agency quality. And the site automates the process of selecting your target demographic, as well as providing a price estimate for the markets you want to run your ad campaign in. You can also have the campaign schedule fit a pre-determined budget. I love services that empower business owners and remove the mystery from seemingly audacious endeavors like advertising on television.
