1 DRTV s Multiple Personalities Lead Generation Andrew Gordon President Direct Impact Group andrewg@directimpactgroup.com D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Mission: To get qualified consumers, with a problem that (insert product or service here) can solve, to raise their hands and say tell me more.

2 D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Ad Characteristics: Ads are presented with no price points. The call to action is presented one of two ways: Call or click to find out how you can get your free ( ). Call or click for more information on ( ). D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Practical Applications: Generating a prospect database for one two one communication. Generating prospects for big ticket products or services. Generating prospects for complex products or services. Generating prospects for a field sales force. Generating attendees for a seminar or showcase. Generating sales leads for a channel partner. Key Benefits: D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Increase in responses - 50% to 500% increase in call volume than in a comparable price-advertised offer Media Flexibility - Media outlets are more willing to do performance based buys with lead generation campaigns than other types of DRTV. Backend Flexibility - Test price point sensitivity without re-cutting your commercial.

3 D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Typical Product or Service Characteristics: More complex in nature More expensive than the marketer cares to mention An additional exchange of information needed between prospect and marketer Requires consumer trial to make purchase decision Requires a decision from both spouses to close sale D.R.T.V. Lead Generation A Lead Generation Program Typically Involves Two Steps: Step 1: Generate inquiry. Step 2: Provide requested information. Why A Two Step Program? It s easier to generate leads than to sell products or services. You don t have to persuade anybody to open their wallet. You build a database of prospects for future follow-up. D.R.T.V. Lead Generation The Type of Product or Service You Are Marketing Will Dictate the Commercial Length: :30 When your product or service is clearly understood and you are making an easy to understand offer :60, :90, :120 When your message is complex :28:30 (Infomercial) If your product or service requires an in-depth explanation

4 D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Four Key Creative Elements: Approach is informational and personal Strong key benefit-focal point of ad Compelling soft offer Clear call to action Three Types of Media Buys: Cash Buys Remnant Buys Per Inquiry Buys D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Telemarketing: A Critical Success Factor: Requirement A call center that can handle dramatic spikes in call volume D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Critical Factors to Improve Response: Offer a powerful solution to the prospects problem Give a compelling reason to respond Critical Factors to Improve Conversion: Offer attractiveness Ease of process Speedy follow-up

5 D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Lessons to Live By: The most important question to ask is: How much can I afford to spend to generate a qualified lead? Stick with a single response objective. MAKE THE PHONE RING! Treat your fulfillment materials as part of the campaign process. D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Lessons to Live By: Too many leads generated can be just as bad as too few. What happens after you generate a lead is as important as generating the lead itself. D.R.T.V. Lead Generation Getting Started: Align: Lead Generation Campaign Goals and Objectives to Business Goals and Objectives Take a serious look at the numbers! Make sure your goals are realistic and quantifiable!

9 2 Today s Discussion Brief Overview of DRTV Discussion of vendors needed to successfully implement DRTV Targeted discussion on each specialized discipline DRTV Agency Creative and Production Media Buying and Management Telemarketing Merchant Processing Fulfillment Q & A DRTV Wheel DRTV DRTV is a specialized segment of the advertising discipline, and requires vendors that specialize in the various aspects DRTV = Long-Form (28:30), Short-Form (:30 s, :60 s, & :120 s) Education and information are key to developing a successful and profitable DRTV campaign

10 3 Keys to Successful Vendor Selection Don t depend on RFP alone When possible, visit your prospective vendor partners If not possible, have their teams visit you! Ask to meet only the people who will be working on your business Ask for samples of work Keys to Successful Vendor Selection Discuss successful and non-successful efforts Understand One-stop shopping is not always the most efficient! Check references, check references, check references Don t under estimate gut feelings DRTV Vending Machine - How To Pick The Right Vendors Creative / Production Joan Renfrow OnyxProd@aol.com President, Onyx Productions

11 4 Define Goals Demonstrate New Product Sell via TV Drive to Web Drive to Retail Brand Awareness Creative Development Considerations Long Form vs. Short form Opening Body Host Testimonials Call to Action Offer Hard vs. Soft Production Execution Considerations: It is critical for the production company to have expertise in your type of product or brand DRTV producer-driven, not director-driven Execution of the script Budget Producer Director Demonstrations & product shots Testimonials PRICE is not always the driving factor in choosing a production company. Less is not always the way.

12 5 Choosing A Vendor Creative Research Ask for samples of work; not necessarily expertise in a single category vs. broad range of categories Get samples of work; discuss the differences in how the work was achieved. Ask for references - the process of creating a script and an offer Agency writer without DRTV experience vs. writer with DRTV experience Does the writer easily accept changes to his/her script and leave his/her ego at the door? Production company doling creative - Single writer/owner shows look alike vs. Multiple writers with expertise in your product category Choosing a Vendor Production Check references Do they deliver on time & on budget? See samples; discuss at length the process of interviewing & recording testimonials It may be a different director Build a team producer, director, lighting director/director of photography/cameraman, editor, scripting, etc. (sets you up for a smooth postproduction process) Experience Value Reliability Problem solving abilities DRTV Vending Machine - How To Pick The Right Vendors Media Buying and Management Rich Contino rcontino@hawthornedirect.com VP Media Account Management, hawthorne direct inc
