    (That's true, and some stations also share a TV station, as well)

    "Okay, so your main point of attack is TV ads?" Misty asked.

    "A word of wisdom about TV promos and commercials--a memorable commercial doesn’t always equal an effective commercial." Brock cautioned.

    "TV ads were my main source of promotion when I was touring Johto, and it worked out very well. I think I'd like to do a different kind of commercial this time. Something not so flashy and more convincing. I have an example on hand if you'd like to see what I'm talking about."

    "All right, do we need anything special, like a DVD or laptop?" Misty asked.

    "All I'll need is the DVD player. I have the CD on hand at all times." Alyssa replied.

    "Luckily, the DVD player is always connected for those occasions when nothing's on TV." Brock assured Alyssa. "That and nothing on Pokeflix, Shuru, or Orinoco Prime you want to see."

    (Pokeflix=Netflix
    Shuru=Hulu
    Orinoco Prime=Amazon Prime)

    "I'd just like to say that this is a promotion from the KImono Girls that was given to me. This is one of their commercials that I could learn from." Alyssa put in the DVD and hit play.

    (It has a very drastic, yet straight to the point kind of theme. A few have the girls performing previously unreleased songs, while others incorporate a dance routine with some vocals thrown in to tie it all together.)

    Misty and Brock watched the montage with interest. While it looked well produced, there was still flaws to address.

    The montage wasn't perfect, but it did give everyone a feel of what a commercial should be. Alyssa did agree there were a few things missing however.

    "Okay..." Misty began as Brock turned off the DVD player. "While this does have flaws that need to be addressed, let's first discuss what it does right. You've done your homework, know your strengths, and you understand your target audience--that's good. Most importantly, this is very unique, and is bound to stand out among the millions of promos released every year."

    "Now, keep in mind that what I'm about to list does not mean your promo is terrible--far from it." Brock cautioned. "It does many things right, but I noticed a few aspects that are rough around the edges, or need to be cut or reworked."

    He went on "For example, you want to be careful about using too much panning over a series of photos, graphics, talking heads or some combination thereof. Used sparingly, this can be used to great effect, but do it too much, and your promo may come off as cheap looking. Secondly, remember that the primary purpose of your promo is to get your name in your audience's heads. In essence, act out the emotional involving aspects of your performing style."

    "It's the first promotion of any kind I had ever seen, so I wasn't quite sure what to think, but after looking at it again, a lot of the flaws really jump out at me. I'll have to keep most of this in mind if I want my promotions to be successful."

    "If you want a detailed breakdown of the positives, neutrals, and negatives, we'll be happy to give you one as a guide for fine tuning." Brock offered.

    "Would you be interested in letting Ash and Serena see this too?" Misty offered.

    Alyssa had to think for a moment before responding to the offers. "I'll gladly accept both of your offers. They'll help me learn and I'll get more opinions on the promotions."

    "Okay--you'll get Ash's and Serena's reviews and our detailed analysis in a letter." Misty explained. "So watch your drop box."

    "I'll be sure to check it over the next few days. Is there anything else that we need to go over?"
