Infomercial with Book Trailer – Infomercial service that includes the creation of a book trailer video
Infomercial with Author Interview – Infomercial service that includes the creation of an author interview video.

Can you estimate how many times my infomercial will be viewed?

Based on the latest Nielson ratings, we estimate the infomercial will be viewed more than 1 million times over your six-week campaign. Please note: Views does not mean unique viewers; a view is each time a person within or outside the same household views the program. You also gain the potential of increased viewership when we distribute the infomercial on YouTube as three segments.
