Bid4Spots is a system that is unique within the UK market - a reverse auction for unsold airtime.

If approved by you, they will then set up the auction according to your specifications.

Recent advertisers include WeBuyAnyCar.com, Save the Children, AXA PPP, Intuit, Pow Wow Now, Foxy Bingo, Quick Quid,Payday UK,Avis and Lovestruck.

he main benefit of using Bid4Spots is that you can buy airtime at a reduced rate, which is ideal when the objective of a campaign is to reach a lot of people in a cost-efficient manner. The other key benefit is that you have control over how many spots you want, plus the dayparts you want your airtime to go out in - making the airtime much more effective than other last-minute models.
