Quick question: What would you charge for a national commercial buyout to be seen (and hopefully heard) on Lifetime?

The correct answer gets a box of q-tips and a quart of Vermont Cider.

Thanks!

My guess for that correct answer is $2000.

And I could really use the Q-tips.

Is this for the same commercial that just popped up on voices,com, where they stated their budget in the $250-500 range, claiming it would only be aired 4X total?

Are you guys giving me advice or bidding on the quart of Vermont Cider? Wink

Actually, it is the "$250-$500" voices.com job, and then they contacted me directly for their rates. The ad is to be shown four times only (in theory) only on Lifetime. This is through a local production company that does nice work ( and I can take the subway to their studio) so I responded in a manner that hopefully will open the door to more work with the proper follow-through but probably won't land me this particular job as I won't do it for $500.

Radio Spot to run nationally - 1 year buyout.

$500.

Say "no", right?

Hate walking away from good money, but then there are these niggly things called "principles" ..

LIFETIME is barely National. Just a cable channel with Lisa Hartman
made for TV movies.

Why do it for $500? Because somebody else will, and you'll be out $500.

Some jobs pay more than others. Dollar cost averaging.

Bill is kinda on target. I can sell :30 spots on a Lifetime group leg (12million homes) for between $20-$50. Not really big budget. It's all relative.
