TV group promotes the benefits of running commercials locally rather than nationally
Article Abstract:
The Television Bureau of Advertising wants to promote local, as opposed to national, advertising as one way to spend the ad dollar of a company more prudently. One way it plans to promote this is with ads of its own through television, print and direct-mail. One ad says, ""It's hard to sell 'pop' to people who drink 'soda.'" Only a regional 'buy' could be sure to make this distinction. Fitzgerald & Co. of Atlanta created the campaign for the organization that is based in New York.
