Children have free time and an ability to influence how their parents spend their money. This means that advertisers are missing a major market when they ignore children.

Kids shows are often cheap to produce, and film. Kids shows often allow for a lot of in show marketing and advertising as well as children are not as perceptive as adults are. Kids shows allow for frequent advertising strategies such as product placement.

Kids shows present this opportunity and more and more marketers are beginning to sponsor kids to tap this untapped well of customers.
