There are multiple methods to advertise a business. Print advertising, directories, signage, flyers, brochures, online advertising, and social media are all some of the more common methods to advertise your business. But television advertising is still an effective means of advertising too. TV advertising is considered to have the most impact. While the internet may be overcoming the TV for getting your message out, almost every home has at least one television in it. This is why television advertising continues to stay in the lead.
Television advertising remains effective due to the large audience that it attracts. Almost every American household has at least one television set, and two is quite common. Television is an important part of our day. It can be on from morning until night. The average person watches at least two hours of television a day.
With so many viewers watching television each day, this means that your television ad has a large audience. Your ad is going to be seen by more people than with any other type of media. While not everyone who sees your commercial is going to use your products or services, the odds have certainly increased with a wider audience.
TV advertising can reach a large audience. Sometimes you want only a specific target audience to see your TV ad. TV ads can be targeted to specific customers. This is done by placing your ads on during specific television programs that are targeted to this audience as well. Products targeting teens can be placed on programs shown after school. Housewives can be targeted during daytime programs. Singles can be targeted after 9 pm on the weekends. Families may be targeted with after-dinner programs. By targeting your potential customers your advertising will become more effective.
Another reason why TV advertising is so effective is because consumers are in a relaxed state while watching television, and are open to new ideas. People usually sit down to watch TV after a long day of school or work. It’s their time to relax. They are ready to be entertained. They want to learn new things, and are ready for fun. It certainly helps if your TV ad is fun and engaging. People will be more responsive if they enjoy your ad, and will remember your products or services.
Television advertising also has the additional benefit of being able to show your products or services in action. Closer views from different perspectives can show prospective customers your merchandise, or food, and even your business location. Services such as a salon, contractor, or other types of services can show the workers in action. There is a greater sensory appeal to a television ad than if your customer was looking at a flyer menu, or a billboard along the highway. TV ads can impact buying choices through sight and sound.
