Even with the breathtaking development of the Internet, Television remains the king of media. Almost 99% of North American homes have at least one television. The average person watches TV seven hours each day. And people consistently say they get most of their news and information from television, especially local TV news.
TV advertising is also very expensive. With prime-time 30 second commercials in medium-sized cities costing several thousand dollars each, broadcast TV ads are out of reach for most small and medium sized businesses. Mass appeal television lacks the ability to closely target the audience. Even if you can scrape together enough for a few TV commercials, much of your investment can be wasted on thousands of people who aren't interested in what you sell.
Cable TV provides a solution, especially for small business. Cable TV ads tend to be dirt cheap, even though their audience is huge. Over half of all American homes subscribe to cable. Cable's subscribers watch more television and have higher incomes. Cable also has the ability to send your commercials to specific parts of town and neighbourhoods.
Television advertising, without question is the most influential and compelling form of commercial communication available to advertisers.
