Advertising
Too many small businesses are under the misconception that television advertising is too expensive. It’s simply not true. In fact, you can purchase cable advertising commercial for as little as 100 Baht. However, on average, you can expect to pay somewhere between 100 and 200 per 30-second commercial, television spot.
One of the intrinsic benefits of television advertising is what I call the “enhanced credibility factor.” Just by advertising on television, you elevate your business higher than your competitors’ because “you’re on TV.” There’s something about advertising on television that makes people take you more seriously, unless of course your commercial is poorly made or your message is unclear.
The hurdle
Now that you know how cost-effective cable advertising can be, there is one hurdle – the cost to produce your spot. Unfortunately, you’ll pay between 10,000 Baht - 30,000 Baht to produce a “basic” spot. Included in this price may be some minor talent priced at 3,000 – 5,000 for a half-day shooting. At this low price, you’d never be able to create a spot so advanced as an ad running during the prime time. However, often the more money you have, the more crammed a spot becomes, minimizing your ad’s message. Remember, less is always more when creating your message. Be straightforward and honest with all forms of advertising and you can’t go wrong.
