If you have a product or service that can be sold in all 50 states, then national cable might be a good advertising vehicle for you. Buying Prime Time ads nationally are often times too expensive for small and even medium sized businesses. However buying early or late fringe remnant slots (before or after prime time) as well as overnights on smaller networks such as Antenna, Chill, Hallmark, Military, etc, can be highly effective for many advertisers that don't have the resources of large companies. You can test a national tv campaign for $4000 to $5000 per week, which can reach up to 40 million subscribers. If you search around you can have a company produce a decent direct response non-hosted ad for as little as $1500 - $2500.
