MEASURING OVERALL MEDIA VALUE

Your scheduling fee includes the costs of producing and airing a celebrity hosted TV spot. Partnering with Kevin Harrington and our studio affords a unique opportunity for an accurate and informative message about your product or service to be presented on targeted networks, in targeted markets, at popular viewing times without needing to have Madison Avenue sized budgets. In order to properly analyze the return on investment and value equation this opportunity affords, it is important to factor-in what would be the costs of all of the pre-production, creative development, travel, camera-work, on-air talent, editing, and post-production involved in producing high broadcast quality television spot, along with the involvement of a celebrity spokesperson like Kevin Harrington. DRTV/BRTV production costs ranging from $50,000 or more are not uncommon in the industry. For this reason alone, our opportunity amounts to a tremendous value equation even before the spot begins broadcasting because you can immediately begin to re-utilize the spot as your own video marketing tool.

Your scheduling fee also includes the airtime scheduling, trafficking and agency placement costs of inserting your spot on targeted networks, and in targeted markets, as a test. TV Media Campaign begins with a media test. A test includes developing a persuasive creative, visual demonstration and the price or discount of the product/service being featured during this special limited offer. It’s important to have a compelling offer in the call-to-action to incentivize the impulse buyer to act now. We recommend a test using a modest degree of scheduling frequency to determine the impact of the message. Feedback from a media test allows for any necessary adjustment, prior to purchasing additional media time to increase message frequency. All broadcasts occur on networks and in markets that you indicate are of interest, by completing our market and network checklists provided. Our media experts can help guide you in those determinations.

Beyond the ownership of the TV spot, you can leverage by streaming online, rebroadcasting at trade shows and events, on social media, with bloggers and influencers, and international distribution through our studio’s foreign language and sub-titling capabilities. Moreover, we have the ability to leverage your investment for Spanish language viewers on a global scale. These types of strategic marketing strategies can potentially result in thousands of more viewers. Remember, Kevin Harrington is recognized globally and is the pioneer of As Seen On TV and participants in our TV Media Campaign are afforded the opportunity to utilize the As Seen On TV logo and Kevin Harrington’s image on their website, marketing and branding strategies, as well as the logo feature on product packaging. Consumers may not be familiar with your product or service but they have seen the As Seen On TV logo branding on many of their favorite products now for decades.

Aside from the television exposure, we integrate a comprehensive marketing campaign utilizing press releases/press wires, social media platforms, relevant blogs and promotions on our AsSeenOnTV.Pro website. For example, our press releases can generate 500+ impressions combined with 1,000+ Social Media Impressions and 1,000+ YouTube Impressions. While we anticipate continued growth of the numbers, it is difficult to accurately measure the entirety of all projected impressions that can be obtained, especially if you continue to repurpose and rebroadcast the spot for additional exposure. The integrated strategies we have implemented throughout the various social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc…) suggest conservative and consistent growth; furthermore, the participant of our TV campaign is encouraged to collaborate with our social media team in order to maximize the potential of these campaigns.

Broadcast Distribution

Once we agree to work together, we require all participants to complete both the market and network checklists below to best target your demographic. We will disperse your spot amongst many of the chosen networks and markets you indicate.

Airing on the appropriate network and in the appropriate markets increases viewership of the TV campaign. Our media experts can assist you in these determinations utilizing our resources as well.

Production Timeline

The production timeline is an approximate schedule from the initial communication stages up to the airing of the TV spot. Please keep in mind shoot dates and airings may vary based on participant’s individual needs and requirements.

Production is time sensitive by nature and it is crucial that we determine which products or services will be featured based on seasonality. Once determined, the project will move into pre-production and storyboarding/script creatives. At this point, both organizations can mutually determine the most conducive time frames for filming and airing of the produced spots.

Our Creative Department will contact the participant to request the following materials: completed Product/Service Information Form, product literature, press kits, media lists, and 8×10 four-color ad transparencies and logos.

Approximately 3 weeks after receiving the completed Product Information Form and materials, our scriptwriters will develop a creative that will be sent to you for your review, provide collaborative input and final approval. This will consist of product information (the Sell), bullet points/CGIs (the Offer), the warranty and a Call-to-Action (website URL). We work with each company to highlight your product/services benefits and features.

Production takes place at our studios and/or on-location sites. To maintain a tight production schedule, location and dates are finalized and determined approximately one month after approval of the creative.

Post-production includes, but is not limited to, primary graphics, and other forms of editing. Upon completion of editing, participant will be sent a hyperlink to view and approve the spots before going to air.

The spot airs on available networks chosen by the participant and is distributed to audiences throughout the United States.
