OptionsHouse Launches First National TV Campaign
Bloomberg TV commercials, targeting stock and option investors, to run through February
CHICAGO, Dec. 12, 2007 — OptionsHouse, Inc. ("OptionsHouse"), an online retail and institutional brokerage firm, today launched its first national TV ad campaign with commercials appearing on Bloomberg TV.
OptionsHouse commercials will run through mid-February and will focus on its flat-fee pricing of $9.95 per options trade and $4.95 per stock trade. "Bloomberg TV is a perfect fit for OptionsHouse, since the cable network reaches sophisticated stock and option traders across the nation," said OptionsHouse Chief Marketing Officer Scott Brueggeman. "The commercials will expose more traders to our flat-fee pricing as well as increase our brand recognition as an online brokerage company."
The commercials, created by Leo Burnett Company, state: "Flat Means Flat: No matter how many contracts you trade." The same commercials are being Webcast on the Chicago Board Options Exchange Web site, which provides commentary on stock and option trading.
The Bloomberg commercials will run in conjunction with OptionsHouse's print and online campaign where ads are running in Barron's, Investor's Business Daily and The Wall Street Journal.
