The ad localization is free -- even with your cheapest air time package. What's the catch?
That's all there is to it. When you buy one of our air time bundles, you can bet -- the ad is free. If you're buyin' we're flyin'. We don't keep some big chunk of your air time payment -- we use it all to buy your air time. We are able to make this incredible offer because we're experienced television pros with the knowhow and resources to pull it off.

Where and when will my commercial be aired on TV?
We are a real agency, experienced in air time placement. Your commercial will be shown at the best times and best networks that money can buy - based on the demographic you are trying to reach. See our Air Time page.
Since each commercial is unique, the best air time for one advertiser may not be right for another. We evaluate your air time needs and create a custom schedule. In advance of your airing date we will inform you about the networks and times you are scheduled to air and when they will start.
Spanish language commercials - Our Spanish-language commercials are 100% Spanish. If your commercial is in Spanish, we'll air it on Spanish language channels.

Can I see the commercial before it goes on TV?
Absolutely. We'll send you a Proof copy (usually as a Quicktime clip with a "watermark" to indicate that it is just a draft). If you see any typos or bloopers, we'll fix 'em. One round of corrections is included with your ad. The final version for TV (and the final Quicktime for your website, if you're getting one) will not have the watermark.

I want to run my TV commercial without localization. Can I air it using your service?
Sure. Just order your air time package, then send us a copy of your commercial on Beta SP Analog, DigiBeta, DV, DVCAM or DVCPRO tape or on DVD, along with your payment in full for your air time package. When we receive your tape and payment, we will process your order. If required, we can bring your production up to broadcast standard format.
Send sub-masters only; no originals. Tapes/disks cannot be returned.
Shipping tips: Pack your tape or disk carefully. Use bubble pack or foam padded envelopes. Please do NOT use fiber-padded envelopes; when they are opened they spill dust on your tape, which can render it unusable The US Post Office will give you a FREE shipping box or envelope suitable for tapes or disks. FedEx also has padded envelopes.

'TOP UP YOUR AIRINGS' - what's that?
The more your ad runs, the more likely audiences will remember you when they decide to see a motion picture.
Many advertisers choose to keep airing their commercials after their original air time package has finished. We call this a “Top-up.”
If you'd like to freshen up your commercial [add locations or dates] just let us know. When you Top-Up, a Refresh of your ad is available just for the asking.
If you need a Top-Up, just contact us with your customer ID number (your Invoice #), and we'll get you started.

What are the payment options?
All you need to get started is $50, payable via credit card or PayPal. Your one-time reservation deposit of just $50 (applicable to your air time package) assures that your production is reserved. The reservation deposit is non-refundable. Orders not accompanied by the reservation deposit will not be processed. You'll receive an invoice via email for the balance of your order.
The reservation deposit is payable via credit card or PayPal. For the balance, we accept an Official Bank Check, Cashier's Check or company check.
For more payment information, see "How It Works."
