Hi SHM,

Here is a quote from a previous thread dealing with this topic. A great read!

"Cable TV Commercial (http://www.lawnsite.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48397),

We were servicing the local cable news station owners properties and let myself be talked into a 30 second spot commercial. The commercial itself was excellent and well produced, and had it running something like 30 times a weekend for 8 or 10 weekends. Cant remember the exact details or cost but yielded zero calls for new work.

Still got a lot of pride seeing my name and face and tv while the ad was running.
