Anyone else see the Contemp. Motorsports commercial on a-channel tonight?

do you guys think that the market for parts/services for imports has gotten large enough in calgary to warrant running tv commercials or is it just a waste of money?

post your thoughts/opinions...

I think commercials for the shops will get more awareness about the scene out there...as corny as they might be, and even if the calgary scene isn't that big, it might help make it bigger :)

I have not seen the commercial, so I can't comment on that but TV advertising is very expensive. For a market like Calgary your return on that type of investment isn't worth it. However if Contemporary was entering the Calgary market for the first time, or attempting to differentiate into a new demographic market, then yes it could be money better spent.

As for Speedtech they have targeted their advertising methods well with a radio station that many of us listen to. Not to metion radio advertising is quite a bit cheaper. Further they have tied their advertising with an event to further enhance the probability of increased awareness.


Just my 2 cents

contemporary can probably afford it, they dont do all their business in calgary. a lot of it comes from all around especially their website. if they have the money all the power to them! also, the radio only goes so far, but a-channel is seen all over southern alberta, so it makes sense to be more expensive, and they can even get to smaller towns, and you would be surprised to see soem fo the work that goes into cars down there!
