Why TV Advertising Is Still So Popular

Posted on

With the rise of social media, online streaming, and portable devices entering nearly everybody's life, TV viewers have taken a hit. After all, now there are so many different ways to catch something that used to just be on television, but that does not necessarily mean that advertising on TV is dying out, in fact, it is quite the opposite. There are a few reasons why, despite an overall dip in numbers, TV advertising is still such an important part of your overall marketing strategy. Here is a brief look into TV advertising solutions and how they can help you.

Highly Targeted

When you purchase advertising time on any channel, you can choose what programs you want to have your ads played alongside. This gives you the opportunity to pick out a show that has a very similar demographic to the one you are trying to attract as customers. TV stations have all the data you need to make an informed choice about who is watching and which timeslots would best suit you. It is no longer like the past where TV signals were sent out and there was little to no metric on how to see who saw them; now there are a bunch of different ways this information is collected, and all of it helps you.

Captive Audiences

Unlike many social media apps and online advertisements, TV advertising solutions offer something unique: the audience cannot simply skip your ad. There is no such thing as ad blockers for televisions, so you get the audience's full attention for as long as the timeslot you bought, whether that be 15, 20, 30, or even 60 seconds plus! In such a crowded marketplace for ads, this really is the gold standard and one that very few other mediums can offer.

Integration

Sometimes when you talk to a professional TV advertising contractor, they might suggest that you do more than just run ads on any given program, but that you integrate your brand with said program. There are a number of ways you can do this, but the most common and cheapest way to do this is to sponsor the segment. That means at the end of each ad break and before and after the show they will announce that this program was brought to the audience by your company. These short, repetitive reminders and association with a good show or news segment are one of the best TV advertising solutions in the modern era.
