Google TV Ads makes it easy for individuals to put commercials on tv

[theantirobot]

This service might make the election pretty interesting.

It says you can run a tv commercial for as little as $20.

I wonder if election laws would get in the way.

Unless you can advertise on Fox News or FBN it isn't worth it.

And even then voter ID, phone banking, and door-to-door is more effective.

disagree 100% - lots of channels have high voter % without being Fox.

Allow me to requalify that.... you want to do it during the news on broadcast channels (CBS/NBC/FOX/ABC) too. But isn't Google ads just for cable?

Who cares if its just cable, or which channel has a high voter %. Google TV does not allow for geographic targeting.

So, rather than pinpoint specific DMAs where the lowest hanging fruit lies, Google TV makes you carpet bomb the whole US. That's a shitty media strategy.

Yeah if that's the case then yeah that is a bad idea.

Yeah, I've looked at this before, and would have done it already by now if I could target my district.

It says you can target by location . . .

I am a full time internet marketer. I know how to do this, and I posted the idea to Schiff campaign, but they never got back to me. Considered doing a money bomb for just these types of TV ads. Companies pay me a lot of money to do things like this for them.

I have considered becoming the "marketer for liberty minded politicians," and I'd give up my booming career to take my talents to the movement. Let it be known that if Ron comes calling, I'd be happy to help.

I looked all through the settings and could not find it.

 

[jake]

can anyone else comment on the targeting by location??

yes, please.

 

[Thomas]

So can you target by location?

 

[Kludge]

"... Although I am pretty sure this is not the answer you were hoping to hear, there isn't a way to do geographic targeting for TV ads at this point.

TV advertisers select TV shows and dayparts to target their audience, but essentially get all the impressions for their selection across the US.

I am sorry to disappoint you. ...
