A Dollar a Holler

In the old days when TV spots first became available on local cable systems, a popular ad sales technique was to offer first-time clients "the dollar a holler" media strategy. 1000 spots for $1,000 -- or you could supersize and get 5000 spots for $5,000. This was sometimes referred to as the "tonnage" strategy. If you venture out into the TV media swamp today, amongst the muck of per-inquiry, remnant time and rev-share deals, you can still find similar "packages" overlooked by more experienced marketers.
