Don't Overlook the Internet in Your Direct Response Advertising Campaign |
| 8/20/2008 7:19:11 AM |
 The advent of the Internet created a sea-change in the way that products are marketed that even extends into direct response advertising, that is, informercials. Direct response marketing is still a powerful force on broadcast and cable television, but when making an infomercial these days, you ignore the power of the Internet at your peril. I'm no expert on direct response marketing, but I would think the most effective approach to marketing anything would be a combination of direct response advertising on television coupled with a well-designed campaign of Internet marketing. That way you could harness the unbelievable force of the Internet to augment your marketing efforts that utilize other media. I think it would be wise to get whoever is doing your infomercial script writing to emphasize your website and web marketing efforts on television. By all means, feature your website address prominently in your direct response advertising, and on your website, you should at least reference your infomercial advertising. Because people's attention spans are shorter when they're surfing the web, you might want to include a short (very short) version of your infomercial advertising on your website. Even if you only have a two to three minute short film on your website, you can certainly feature the highlights of your infomercials for a focused, powerful presentation that will get the viewer's attention and convince potential consumers of the advantages of buying whatever goods and services that you're trying to vend with all of your marketing efforts. And if this is what your ultimate goal is, then you need some expert help. If you don't know where to get it, never fear. You can find all of the expert advice you need to get your infomercial up and running at this website: http://www.marcummedia.com. To me, it only makes sense to make your direct response marketing as much of a multimedia campaign as possible. Right now the economy is in bad shape. People are not just thinking twice, they're thinking three and four time before they spend any money at all on things that are non-essentials. The price of food is going up dramatically. We've all seen and heard what's happening with gas prices. For people who are homeowners, the rates they're paying for mortgages are resetting, sometimes at drastically higher rates, so you've really got to make a full-court press to make consumers buy your products. Your infomercial production must be razor-sharp, interesting, fun, and exciting to be truly effective in this economy. That's why I recommend using the Internet as just another aspect of your direct response marketing.
