Questions
Roku Questions, Answered Straight.
How much does Roku advertising cost?
Typical Ads Manager campaigns start around $500 total, with CPMs of $20 to $60 depending on targeting. At those rates, $500 buys roughly 8,000 to 25,000 completed views inside your chosen Connecticut towns.
Is there a way in below $500?
Yes. Third-party performance platforms resell Roku inventory with no campaign minimum from about $50 a day, which suits a first test. The tradeoff is a management layer between you and the platform.
Roku or Hulu: which should I pick?
They overlap heavily and price similarly. Roku reaches the biggest device base in America; Hulu's published $500 minimum and creative marketplace make it slightly friendlier for a first campaign. Many Connecticut buys end up splitting between the two.
Can viewers skip my Roku ad?
No. Like all streaming TV, the spots are non-skippable, and about 95% play to completion. You are buying full 15 or 30 second views in Connecticut living rooms.
