Why Marketers Are Crazy About DRTV
This new form of marketing is an advertising strategy focusing on television advertising. Direct response television (DRTV) is also known by various other names, including DVR, CPM, CTR, TVRT, and more.
It is designed to generate an immediate response from the consumer. The campaign can be planned or be based on a real-time situation (i.e., “breaking news”).
DRTV campaigns are typically time-sensitive and designed to generate a direct response from the consumer—a phone call, email, or website visit—to purchase products or services offered by businesses through TV ads shown during prime-time broadcast hours on networks like NBC and CBS.
Benefits of DRTV
DRTV is the most cost-effective way to reach your target audience. To find out if DRTV is right for your business, ask yourself these questions:
- Is my product or service what consumers want?
- Can I create a campaign to reach consumers in their homes and get them talking about it?
- Does my product or service offer value for its price point (i.e., does it have a low entry point)?
Types of DRTV Campaigns
DRTV campaigns are a great way to connect with customers and build trust. They can be used to:
- Create awareness of your product or service.
- Introduce new products, services, or concepts you want people to know.
- Promote sales of existing products or services by encouraging people who already have them (or might want them) to watch an advertisement before buying something else from you.
DRTV ads are also effective at generating leads because they’re seen by millions of people every week.
DRTV Terms and Costs
DRTV campaigns can be a cost-effective way to reach your target audience. DRTV campaigns are typically sold on a CPM basis, which stands for cost per thousand impressions. This means that if you want to buy 1 million impressions of your advertisement, it will cost $1,000 (or $10/1000). Each impression costs depending on the type of show and how often it’s aired during its duration (e.g., an hour-long sitcom might have more than one commercial break).
DRTV campaigns are sold by the impression—meaning what kind of ad was seen during certain parts of the show or event being advertised—and therefore don’t necessarily have any set price points like traditional ads do; however, they still often come with restrictions regarding length or frequency requirements before they begin paying off their initial investment back into production costs again.
