90s Commercial Template

A deliberately cheesy 90s infomercial. Funny, nostalgic, very shareable.

  • Reel
  • Illustrated and comic
  • 15–30 seconds
  • about $4 in AI credits
Made for Iron Bell Boxing Club, a fictional business, from its website.

What it is

A parody of an old TV commercial: VHS look, over-the-top presenter energy, bright sets and a 'call now' ending.

When to use it

Brands with a sense of humour, launches that want attention, younger audiences.

Why it works

Self-aware nostalgia is funny and gets shared, and the obvious parody makes the ad welcome.

How it plays

  1. hook (about 5 s): 'Are you tired of…' with an exaggerated problem.
  2. reveal (about 5 s): The product revealed with sparkle.
  3. features (about 8 s): Two benefits, each with a silly demo.
  4. cta (about 4 s): 'Call now' style ending with the real CTA.

The hook: 'Are you tired of…?'

How OpenPromo makes it

AI footage. Made with GPT Image 2, Veo 3.1 Lite, ElevenLabs v4, Lyria 3. It suits consumer apps, food, ecommerce, services businesses. The writer takes every fact from your website, so prices, products and reviews are yours, and you approve the script before anything is made.

Questions

How much does the retro tv ad template cost to make?

Each one costs about $4 in AI credits, paid at cost with your own key. OpenPromo adds no markup. Writing the script is a few cents, and you see it before anything is made.

Rendering again after an edit only pays for the scenes you changed.

Do I have to write the script?

No. Add your website and OpenPromo reads it: what you sell, your prices, your reviews, your colours and fonts. The writer fills the template from that, and you can edit every scene, or give it an angle such as a product or an offer.

Which AI models make it?

GPT Image 2, Veo 3.1 Lite, ElevenLabs v4, Lyria 3. They were picked in a side-by-side test of the image, video and voice models available, on quality for the price.
