2-Minute Read
There was a time when telling a small business owner to advertise on television would have sounded ridiculous.
TV was for Coca-Cola, Ford, McDonald's and companies with massive advertising budgets.
That world is disappearing.
Streaming TV advertising is turning the biggest screen in your house into another digital advertising channel. Platforms like Vibe are making it possible for businesses to advertise across hundreds of streaming apps and channels while controlling their audience, geography and budget.
And campaigns can start around $50 per day.
That's a major shift for small business marketing.
TV Advertising Is Starting to Look Like Digital Advertising
The interesting part isn't simply that television advertising is becoming cheaper.
It's becoming targetable.
Instead of buying a traditional television spot and hoping the right customer happens to be watching, streaming advertising can target audiences using factors such as:
Location. Age. Income. Interests. Purchase intent.
Businesses can even target specific cities and ZIP codes.
Think about what that means for a local business.
A roofing company doesn't necessarily need everyone in America watching its commercial.
It needs homeowners in the neighborhoods it actually services.
A restaurant doesn't need national exposure.
It needs people close enough to walk through the door.
A law firm doesn't need millions of random viewers.
It needs visibility among potential clients in its market.
That's a completely different way to think about television.
Your Marketing Channels Should Work Together
But putting a commercial on someone's television isn't the finish line.
It's the beginning.
Someone sees your commercial tonight.
Three days later, they need your service.
What do they do?
They Google you.
Now your TV advertising and Google presence are working together.
They visit your Instagram.
Now streaming and social media are working together.
They visit your website.
Now TV advertising, SEO and website optimization are working together.
They leave without calling.
You retarget them later.
Now another advertising channel enters the conversation.
This is why businesses need to stop thinking about marketing as a collection of unrelated platforms.
Attention Is Everywhere
Your customer might see you on their television Monday.
Google you Tuesday.
See an Instagram post Thursday.
Read one of your reviews Friday.
And finally call you Saturday.
Which advertisement created the customer?
Potentially all of them.
Modern marketing is about creating enough relevant touchpoints that your business becomes familiar when the customer is finally ready to buy.
Streaming TV simply gives small businesses another powerful place to create that familiarity.
Don't Just Buy Ads. Understand the Market.
The technology is becoming easier.
The strategy still matters.
Before spending $50, $500 or $50,000 on advertising, businesses should understand:
- Who is our ideal customer?
- Where are they?
- What are they watching?
- What are they searching for?
- What are our competitors saying?
- What message will actually get someone's attention?
- And what happens after they see the advertisement?
That's where Klixo comes in.
