The Tear and Tickle TV Ads
TEAR & TICKLE™ TV AD SERIES
COMING SOON: Your Own, Uber-Engaging TV Campaign– WITHOUT the Cheap, Canned Look of So Many Others
One of the biggest rubs against TV advertising is the cost of quality production, OR the sacrifice of quality you must suffer with if you can’t afford good production.
This soon-to-be-released campaign of six, high production-value commercials tell compelling stories that are meant to tickle your tummy or bring a tear to your eye.
OVERVIEW
Take jewelry advertising for independent jewelers to a whole new level, never before possible in the industry.
Created by top writers David and Joel Ackerman and shot by world-renowned Director of Photography, Jay P Morgan, you simply won’t find production values their equal, anywhere in the industry.
THE PREMISE
Unleash the business-building power of these commercials on your marketplace and watch brand awareness and sales soar.
You can have the 30-second “branding” versions, or the 60-second “direct response” versions that allow you to make specific offers of your specific products.
And you can mix and match, anyway you want. (NOTE: a small post-production fee is added to the direct response versions to bring in your specific images, offers and messages. Ask for details).
These “evergreen” spots won’t grow old because of their universal appeal, their exceptional production values, your ability to change the offers with the latest, up-to-date merchandise, and because of their built-in seasonality, ensuring that each spot is only seen for a short time each year.
AND… because of the “family look” of these amazing commercials, you build brand awareness without having to run the same spots all the time.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
These fully produced commercials will be customized for your store, including your offers, your branding elements, and media buying instructions.
PRICING
We are currently looking for 20 jewelers to "crowd-fund" the production of these commercials.
The end cost to each jeweler will be ZERO.
Here's how it will work…
If you're one of the 20 jewelers to commit to the production, you will owe NOTHING untill all 20 crowd-funders have committed to the project. At that time you will then have a payment due of $6,000.
HOWEVER… Once the spots are produced and delivered to you, you will have use of them for LIFE.
PLUS, receive territorial protection so that no one else in your media market can use these ads.
Finally, you will be reimbursed your entire $6,000 at the rate of 50% of first licence fees (to be divided among the crowd-funders) granted to jewelers outside of your market.
Those licensees will be paying a license fee of $3,000/year.
Once you have received your full investment back, you will still have lifelong use of the commercials and their updates, and the territorial protection to KEEP OUT the competition.
(You'll be taken to an Ascend Marketing Product Page to order.)
