Reaching a large audience, these commercials are designed to capture the attention of viewers through a variety of creative elements, such as music, sound effects, visual effects, and a voiceover or on-screen text. TV advertising is usually bought on a cost-per-thousand (CPM) basis, meaning that advertisers pay a fixed amount for every thousand views or impressions of their ad. Advertisers can also choose to target specific demographics or geographic areas in order to reach a more targeted audience.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, TV advertising isn\u2019t limited to 30-second commercials.
