Cable TV Power

Advertising on cable television is a unique and effective way to inform, motivate and persuade audiences about your business, product or service. The AD|MAX cable TV component is a cooperative-based format featuring individual merchants together with the local Internet portal provider with merchant-specific photo, art, and voice-over.

What makes cable different?

Unlike traditional "over-the-air" television, cable TV is a very selective medium. Instead of delivering a single channel to an entire television market, cable TV delivers lots of demographically targeted television channels to specific geographic areas. This offers two efficiency advantages for advertisers: - The ability to target audiences by more precise areas of geography, and  -The ability to target audiences by demographic and lifestyle interests.

Cable TV advertising offers several key benefits:

  - Precise targeting     - Minimal waste   - Audio and visual    - Economy and quality

BARTER Power AD|MAX is pleased to introduce its powerful mix of combined media streams that offer real potential and promise for a solid return on your advertising and marketing budget, due in part to BARTER Power!

• The AD|MAX unified media campaign has a unique economic ‘BARTER-commerce’ component that further enhances the customer-generating power of the AD|MAX system while reducing the effective overall price.

• A portion of the AD|MAX campaign is paid not with cash, but rather with your own merchant products and/or services - in other words, with BARTER - at your own business incremental cost.

• By using BARTER to pay for a portion of the ad campaign, you are assured of further media savings, while every dollar in BARTER spent returns in the form of new customers.

• In fact, for every $1.00 a merchant spends in BARTER, that merchant will realize $3.70 in new customer purchases.*
