Weekend Writing Idea for January 17, 2008

What? You don't have anything to write about this weekend? How about taking a stab at the following topic:

Local Television and Radio Commercials for Businesses

While I don't watch a lot of television, I've always been amused by the locally produced commercials advertising businesses in the area. Radio commercials are only a little better . . . sometimes. Given the interest Constant Content's customers have in advertising and business articles, this topic seems pertinent and potentially lucrative. Examples of article topics include:

How to produce an inexpensive television or radio commercial
How to find actors/voice actors for your commercial
Effective voice and audio advertising techniques
Why you should never use PowerPoint for your commercials
How to get your ad on local television and radio stations
Colors not to wear when appearing on television (hello, yellow!)
How to appeal to your targeted demographic
What information to include in your commercial
Why poorly animated characters insult your audience (or why they don't? - I have no idea why the local cable service provider feels it's acceptable to run ads that belie its shameless monopoly on the region; I'm sure it can afford higher quality ads that might be slightly more convincing.)

Certainly, writers who have experience in business and advertising could think of even more (and more useful) articles related to this topic.

Have a great weekend!
