Frequently Asked Questions

Spot Shoppe FAQ’s:

Q: I have priced other services and yours is more expensive. Why?

A: This is your clients’ message. Cheaper isn’t always better. That’s why we are different:
-All our commercials are priced for one or two voices. Research shows two voice spots are more effective than one-voice spots.

-We make many voices available. Many of the low price services are essentially one-man-band situations. So all your spots sound the same.

-Our production music is licensed. We subscribe to one of the leading production services, and our license extends to any use of the music.

-We use the Vcreative workflow system. It’s an online system allowing direct communication with our producers so commercials are done right the first time.

 

Q: Do you accept PayPal?
A: Yes, PayPal fees are added to your invoice. Currently, it’s approximately 3% of the total invoice.

 

Q: Can you do barter?
A: Some stations do qualify for barter. Every situation will be different. Please call to discuss.

 

Q: What is my commitment?
A: Generally, our cash clients enter into a month-to-month agreement, with a 30 day out at any time, billed in advance. Barter deals are a minimum of 12 months.

 

Q: How many spots a month can I sign up for?
A: Just like you do a CNA with your clients, we discuss your production situation with you. Once we understand your needs, we craft a plan that works perfectly for you.
Not sure how many spots? Don’t worry, we do per-spot deals.

A: Yes. Please call to discuss your specific needs.

 

Q: I have an emergency and need the spot today. Can you accommodate?
