TV networks have increased the number of commercials they show in an hour and they only do it because they think you, the audience, will put up with it. of course they wouldn't admit that if you asked them. They'd say they do it because it's the only way they can afford to operate.

30 seconds The standard length of a TV ad is 30 seconds long and approximately half of all ads are 30 seconds. However, ads can also be 10, 20, 40, 50, 60 seconds or longer. Your ad needs to be a multiple of ten to fit into the ad break.

Large audiences, trustworthy content to align with, high recall, emotional connections, extended reach, and opportunities to create more than just a regular commercial are just a few of the factors that make TV advertising so effective.

A TV spot is like an advert you see on television for services or products. It has a story, actors and a message and it aims to convince the viewer of the benefits of the product or service the advertiser is promoting.

There's a reason TV is the second-most profitable advertising medium in the US. Not only can your brand reach large and engaged audiences by aligning with trustworthy content, but you can also create emotional connections with consumers, which improves ad recall and drives real results for thousands of our partners.

Back in 2007, market research firm Yankelovich ran a survey of 4,110 people and find out that an average person sees up to 5,000 adverts every day. Today, that number is even higher and the average person sees around 10,000 ads per day, though only a quarter of that or less will be relevant.

Depending on the complexity of the shoot and the editing required, production costs for a 30-second ad may range from $1,000 to more than $50,000. Broadcasting costs, however, make up the bulk of the price, averaging just under $105,000 for a 30-second commercial on network television.

In the 70s, the average person saw between 500 to 1600 ads per day, but in 2021, it is estimated that the average person encounters between 6,000 to 10,000 ads every single day. This is largely due to the growth of online and digital ads through platforms such as Google and Facebook.

Unlike other channels, a single TV ad will end up reaching a larger audience. And since consumers usually trust television more than other media, the investment is justified. Consumers also see TV ads more than any other media. This is why it leads to higher performance, while also building confidence in your brand.
