§ RADIO COMMERCIALS

I can produce radio commercials from scratch. Let me talk to you about what you want to say and let me figure out how. Listen to some of the radio commercials here to get some idea of the diversity of what I can do.

Also, look over my rates to see if this is where you want to go. Depending on the amount of production involved, a complete spot can run from $325.00 to $800.00 for 13 weeks usage. Long standing clients pay a monthly royalty fee to run any commercials whenever they want. These clients are also provided with my telephone Message-On-Hold service (complete with Premier SM 1000 Digital M-O-H machine and messages) at no extra cost. I lost a major retailer as a client because a competitor kept using an old commercial with my voice on it for years and years and I couldn’t do a thing about it. That’s why I lease spots instead of sell them.
