Aylio just launched a national TV ad campaign using Google TV Ads.

I asked Max (CEO of Aylio Fitness) how he pulled this off.  Here is what he said:

Find a production company that will create your commercial.  The ad must be must be 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 seconds.  Once you have the video, you may upload it to Google TV Ads.  It will take about 48 hours for approval of the technical specs, content, and basic quality of your ad.  Once approved, you are ready to bid on ad spots.  Choose the networks and time slots you wish to target and place a bid on what the CPM for each spot is worth to you.  The CPM is your cost per 1,000 impressions.  If you win the auction for the spot, you will normally see your commercial air on TV the following day.

Thanks for the great question Tracey!  Here is how you do it.

4. Enter in a subject, pick a greeting, and send them a message.  Make sure the message tells your fans about your coupon!

Click on the “Mail My Fans” button at the bottom and your coupon will be sent to all your fans!

Yes you can easily duplicate products.  If you are listing multiple products that are pretty similar use our Duplicate button.
