The Role of Media• Media provides a bridge that delivers the
right message (and offer) to the right target. In this respect, media decisions that deliver both image/awareness are the same for direct response efforts.
• Media planning that is involved with generating a direct response, goes steps further in analyzing previous results and projecting future response.

Direct Response Television
![Page 28: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
DRTV: What is it?
• A direct marketing strategy…
• Designed to generate a response…
• Utilizing low-cost spot television…
• In a variety of lengths...
![Page 29: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
DRTV: What is it?DRTV is often purchased for as little as one-
quarter the cost of General Advertising
• Time is bought in large blocks, I.e. dayparts rather than specific programming
• “Hybrid” clients pay a higher rate guaranteeing select daypart rotations
• Time is pre-emptible
![Page 30: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Qualifications for Direct Response Rates• The offer should be exclusive and not
communicated in other advertisements.• The commercial must have a strong call-to-
action urging the viewer to call now.• The offer should be time-dated and good for
a limited time.• A general oriented commercial with an
800# added will not qualify as direct response. Stations review story boards prior to accepting the execution.
![Page 31: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Direct Response Television Process
• Direct Response television commercials produce two types of sales results:
–One-step process:
•Utilized by most traditional DRTV advertising (subscription, low out of pocket items)
•Telemarketing closes order obtaining all pertinent information
![Page 32: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Direct Response Television Process– Two-step process:
• Additional information is generally required to close a sale
• Often utilized for items costing over $200.00
• Multiple product/service items exist
• Requires more sophisticated support from either telemarketing or from in-person sales call
• Advertisers include; insurance, home loans, financial products, exercise equipment
![Page 33: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Direct Response Television Process

–DRTV is:
•A commodity
•Extremely volatile
•Difficult to second guess
![Page 34: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

agency data from other clients on individual station response levels.

![Page 35: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Planning Process• Historical response analysis* is the
foundation for the planning process:
–Front end response
•% response and cost per inquiry
–Back end response
•% quality of customer and lifetime value
![Page 36: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

![Page 38: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Step: 3Commercial Length
Both :120’s and :60’s are strategically integrated into a campaign– :120’s
• Base support on all spot stations–More responsive than :60’s–More cost effective than :60’s–Ability to clear on most stations and
dayparts–Use on cable based on available
inventory
![Page 39: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Step: 3 (cont.)Commercial Length
Both :120’s and :60’s are strategically integrated into a campaign– :60’s
–100%-150% higher cost vs. 120’s–Strategically schedule on selective
dayparts»Where :120’s traditionally are difficult to clear
»Demographically targeted–Base support for cable
»:120 inventory is extremely limited
![Page 40: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Step: 4• Daypart Rotation
– Responsiveness
– Cost
– Targetability of programming
– Availabilities
• During the buy management process, daypart rotations are adjusted:
– Poor performing dayparts limited or cancelled
– Increase spending in effective dayparts
– Negotiate rates on marginal dayparts (keeping in mind the target audience)
![Page 41: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Step: 4 (cont.)
• It is important when beginning a new campaign to schedule a broad daypart rotation. This will maximize up-front learning and help extend the life of the campaign.
![Page 42: The Essentials of Direct Response Media Thanks to Wunderman Worldwide.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7b5503460f94a5f34f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
