The Cost Of 30 Second TV Commercial On Primetime TV Fall 2012: And You Only Want to Pay What for the Domain

Here is reason number 64 why your domain could be more valuable than you think. Below is the cost of a 30 SECOND commercial on American Prime Time Television. Yes 30 Seconds. Half a million dollars for 30 seconds. $30,000 for 30 seconds on a terrible show. $10,000 for your premium domain seems like a steal doesn’t it? And this doesn’t even count production cost.  A domain should last a lifetime and has the potential to reach billions around the world. A commercial may be remembered but a premium domain WILL be remembered. A domain is a marketing tool and as these prices show.  Good marketing cost good money
