Cable Advertising
Cable zeros in on specific geographic locations. Since cable systems
operate within communities, one may select specific customer areas
for the advertising message without paying to reach citizens outside
his target market area.
Cable targets a specific audience. Cable offers a wide variety of
programming for specific audiences and interests. One may select
programs that reach the best potential customers.
Cable viewers watch more television. On the average, cable subscribers
watch an additional hour per day than non-cable viewers, because
there is much more programming available targeted to individual interests.
Cable viewers have greater purchasing
power. Cable subscribers are generally above-average in income and
tend to purchase more appliances, automobiles, services and overall
have more income to spend.
Cable advertising is cost
efficient. It enables advertisers who cannot afford traditional
television to take advantage of video's sight, sound and creative
aspects.
Cable offers greater frequency
of exposure. With cable's cost efficiency one can afford to have
commercials seen throughout the day, including prime time, thus
reaching larger audiences with greater impact.
Cable offers the multiple appeal of four media. The video of television,

of radio and the local interest appeal of newspapers.
