First hotel booking agency to advertise on TV!

November 7, 2007

We all know it costs a fortune for TV Advertising but I found a new channel called Hollywood Classics Network ( AKA Open Access 2 channel 160 ) who only charge £8-00 for 30 seconds with no minimum number of slots, they will also create your advert for around £300.

They broadcast old black and white and colour Movie Greats also including iconic comedy shows like” I Love Lucy ” every weekday from 6pm and at weekends from Noon.

I found out about this opportunity through channel flicking one day and thought to myself I wonder if this could be good for hotelsmart to advertise on.

I believe that we are the first Conference and Hotel Booking Agents ever to try TV Advertising.
