Article Abstract:
The Bank of Montreal (BoM) and Cantel AT&T are two leading Canadian firms which have come to realize the value of having more time to educate their consumers. BoM uses infomercials to provide details to their consumers on how they can assist in their mutual fund investments. Cantel decided on infomercials to market its wireless telephone service because of favorable demographics. Cantel's "Pay As You Go" infomercial is directed at teens and has fast-paced segments presented by hip young hosts.

Article Abstract:
Radio advertising rates in Canada usually increase during the summer because of several factors. A major factor is the increase in demand because beer and soft drink manufacturers usually increase their advertising because of the warm weather. Other advertisers also shift to radio advertising and away from television advertising because they know that people are usually on vacation with their radio sets.
