Managing A Media Campaign for Direct Response

Fact: more money is spent on media in a successful direct response campaign than every other service combined. 

Managing your infomercial media well - and your DRTV agency - can impact your ROI by 5% to 15%. In a $10 million campaign, that can add more than $1 million straight to your bottom line.

DRTV media buying is a dynamic process where buys are added and cancelled daily. 

DRTV media is intense. It's lightning quick, negotiation heavy, and can make or break a project. And it's different from general ad buys.

A media campaign without a budget? 

Yes, that's DRTV media in its truest form.  Results drive budget, not a pre-determined budgetary plan. 

The focus here is on cost per call, cost per acquisition or order, and media efficiency ratios.  Every airing’s profitability can be seen immediately by the calls coming in and sales taking place.

With DRTV’s built-in accountability, daily results show which media buys are working, which are not, and how much to buy to maximize ROI.

This is not an exaggeration!

Choosing and managing the right media buyer for your project can be the most important decision of your entire campaign. It can make the difference between a successful campaign and a failure.

How do you know the right agency for your campaign Is it the agency with the great sales pitch - or the lowest commission? 

They might look good initially, but it could turn out to be a decision you regret once the project launches.
