In our efforts to show you an overall direct response marketing approach it's important that as a client that you reach only those people who are actively in the market for what you're selling. We cannot stress enough that your offer will be more relevant to customers who are in the market for your products than to customers who are not. It only makes sense, even in the search engine world that a search targeted towards red cars with blue stripes and big tires will give you a more targeted result than just targeting cars. The same holds true in the direct response marketing world.

Emerson Direct has been in the direct response marketing business long enough to realize that successful targeting is more often about the timing of your message than about reaching the correct age and gender demographic. This is not to say that not targeting your message to the above demographic is not needed, it's just one of the more important variables in your goal of higher conversions for your target markets. As a matter of fact to have a better understanding of what we are talking about, why not check out the direct response marketing reports page to have a look at the latest trends and numbers for direct response marketers.

As a direct response marketer we also feel that it is important that you increase the urgency of any offer if you expect to succeed. If a limited quantity is available, name the exact number. Specifics are more persuasive than generalities. If your offer has a time limit, say so. "Offer ends soon" will be perceived only as shallow hype. What we like to do in the online marketing world is actually show the client or customer a running total of available subscriptions or products left and or a clock showing how much time is left with the offer. In other words, Be specific. Be accurate. Tell the truth. The offer will end on and at....

What we must stress to all of our direct reponse clients is that there is a downside to urgency in that customers who aren't immediately in the market for your product won't remember your ads since there will be nothing relevant for them to remember. If they desire the product on X and the ad whose message expired on Y, will have no relevance to them. You paid to reach these people, but the message didn't stick. At Emerson Direct our job is to make sure that the client and their target audience, never forget the message!

One great way to create a lasting direct response marketing impression is to elevate the relevance of your core message. We cannot stress enough that you need to know your customer. What, exactly, would an offer that would stand head and shoulders above all your competitors' offers sound like? Since this is a matter of an internal marketing strategy that goes to the discovery that Emerson Direct would discover in preproduction meetings where we develop your core message of your offer, it often requires a modification of the business model. Which is ok. The goals are still the same. Drive traffic and convert prospects into sales.."

The last thing we want to do is Amplify the message to the extent that it sounds like we are screaming it from the mountain tops!. "Superlatives do not work, so don't even go there. What we do recommend is that you stand behind your product and it's effectiveness. If that means a guarantee of some sort, then so be it. What we want to do is create a compelling offer that will spur the customer to act without question. A direct response, if you will. By doing this hand in hand with emerson direct, you can be assured that we will try hard to get you a double digit response to your direct response message. we guarantee it!
