A hot flash is a brief feeling of intense warmth and sweating. Hot flashes commonly occur in women around the time of menopause. Researchers do not know exactly what causes hot flashes. Current theories suggest hot flashes are due to a menopause-related drop in the body's level of female hormones called estrogens. This drop affects the hypothalamus, an area of the brain that regulates body temperature.
Consider this: A newspaper ad is only good for a day and a television commercial only lasts about thirty seconds. But a billboard ad is working for you twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The cost of billboard advertising ranges from about $700 to $2,500 a month. At that rate, ten billboards could run as much as $25,000 per month. That sounds like a lot of money, until you realize that a full-page ad running for one day in a major newspaper costs about the same. Advances in technology have also contributed to billboard advertising's cost efficiency.
Cable Television. While the cost to produce a commercial is about the same, the rates for cable television spots are somewhat less than those on basic networks. The average rate for a 30-second spot on the top 15 cable networks was $13,100 as of 2011.Of these networks, ESPN charged the highest rate, at an average of $31,551.asic Television. National television spots are the most expensive advertising campaigns you can run. As of 2013, the commercials themselves cost anywhere from $50,000 to $750,000 to write, shoot and produce, according to WebpageFX, a national web development and marketing company.
