Is Short Form DRTV the Right Advertising Method?

By: Luke Andy

When you have a product that you believe is truly revolutionary you may have crossed the first hurdle. However, have you considered how you will market it to the masses? How will everyone learn about your product so that they can buy it? Many inventors are good at developing new products but they aren't sure how to proceed with the marketing of their product and/or services. One option that may have come to mind is a short form DRTV infomercial. This is a wonderful marketing method for many products however for some it is not a realistic method. In order to make a realistic decision you must determine whether your product is really a product that appeals to the masses. The following considerations should be evaluated and answered honestly before deciding to advertise via this method.

Target Market
Before answering any other question you will want to determine who your target market is. Is your customer base huge or is it a small niche? Short form DRTV is affordable as far as television advertising goes, but it's not affordable just for the sake of advertising. The way short form DRTV becomes an affordable marketing method is by reaching hundreds of thousands of potential customers simultaneously. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule but in the vast majority of cases the target market will need to be the masses rather than small niches. Before choosing to use short form DRTV you will want to forecast the investment and potential return on investment to make sure this is the right decision for your product.

Plan
It's important to have a plan before you can choose short form DRTV for your product. That includes a complete plan that evaluates what you want to sell, how you will get customers to buy the product, as well as other offers or products you may offer to your customers. A complete plan will help you evaluate whether short form DRTV is the right marketing vehicle for your product.

Costs
While short form DRTV may market your product to the masses it is important to determine if you have enough money to pay for the marketing campaign, airtime, producer, and other expenses until money starts coming in from sales. It's expensive and you will need enough money to cover the entire process. If you don't have what you anticipate you will need consider taking out a business loan or finding some investors.

These are just a few things you will want to consider before choosing to use short form DRTV to advertise your products and services.
