Why is it so cheap?
Helicopters and other highly expensive types of equipment are not needed to produce high quality commercials. We use our skills, expertise and ingenuity to produce a quality product and a cost effective price. There is no waste. Costs are kept down by controlling any unnecessary overhead. No fancy expense accounts, no fancy meals, just hard work and talent go into every commercial.
Why so expensive:
Producing commercials well take a great deal of skill, organization, talent and experience to get the results our customers want. You are paying for experience and a solid understanding of how to target your customer’s needs. We take all the complexity out of what is normally a very complex process to delivery a superb product in record time. We run a tight ship and provide you excellent service.
Why should I spend advertising and marketing dollars on digital commercials?
Because that is where your customers are spending the most time. This is the age of the internet, downloading music videos to telephones, downloading movies, hand held computers, portable DVD players. Everything has gone digital. Many large organizations have even committed to totally paperless transactions. customers have less patience and want their information through visual and audio methods. Digital commercials grab the viewer’s attention, invokes emotion, and give you time to delivery your message in a way that is well received.
We want a commercial but we don’t have a web site what do we do?
For a nominal fee we can design a beautiful page for you and host your commercial. Or we can design and build a website for you from scratch at an additional fee. You can also take advantage of DVD's, which is an extremely powerful marketing tool that produces measurable results.
We have a website but we do not use streaming video:
We can host the commercials for you with a page with your wrapper design. Or we can send your developers a format that can be added in a very simple way with no fancy setup or overhead whatsoever.
I don’t know much about computers, do I have to be computer literate?
Nope. Not at all. You don’t need to be a mechanic to drive a car and you don’t need to be a computer person to take advantage of the advertising power of digital commercials. All you need to know is that they are flexible, versatile and they help you secure more highly qualified leads.
