Why TV Advertising

TV Advertising Agency

At TV Advertising Agency we understand that businesses need to grow to succeed. TV advertising has many short-term benefits, including driving sales, creating spikes in online searches and stimulating word of mouth, both on and offline. Also, the effects of TV advertising accumulate over time; the longer you advertise, the bigger the effect. This low-risk form of media delivers the most profit at the greatest cost-efficiency.

See below some of the many reasons behind why so many have chosen TV to evolve and develop their brand.

Effectiveness

Simply put, TV is the lead medium for profit generation and effectiveness. TV advertising is, on average, TWICE as effective at increasing sales per equivalent exposure as the next best performing medium – press. In the short term, TV is responsible for 62% of all advertising-generated profit at an ROI of £1.73 for every pound spent, the highest of any media. In the longer term, TV advertising creates 71% of total advertising-generated profit at an ROI over 3 years of £4.20 for every pound spent, also the highest of any media (Thinkbox, 2021).
