Direct Response marketing requires a direct response.

The reason why direct response marketing works is because it requires the user, listener, or viewer to do something. Don't just sit there, pick up the phone call now! Operators are standing by! Can you spot one truly noticeable and different reason why a prospective customer or client or patient would be motivated to pick up the telephone and call? Because they were asked and incentivized to do it now, hence the name, DIRECT RESPONSE.

Direct Response works if the medium is credible or has a credible feel with its specific form of delivery.
An example of this would be News-style advertising which gets up to 500% greater response than color brochures, business cards, and all other forms of product or image advertising. The reason is that News style advertising doesn't look like advertising! It looks like news. Very few people read advertising....but a lot of people read news and other stories. If It Looks Like Advertising, and smells like advertising then chances are it is advertising. This is primarily why Google has been so succesfful because of the way it allows its advertisers to cloak their advertising to look more like general content.

Listen, everyone is totally self-absorbed and selfish. It's human nature. In direct marketing we know this. So when a direct response marketing campaign is created, it's created with the user or audience asking one question; WIIFM, "What's In It For Me?" This is a major point you have to understand. If the headlines and copy and reports and client newsletters you use or create, answer this question, they will be moneymakers for you!

The single most important element that leads to a direct response? Our thirst to know! Curiosity! Think about why news and publishing media as well as readio and television stations use teasers as their headlines. They get mad responses. A DIRECT Response in some cases. DR marketers know something that most advertisers and marketers have zero clue about. They know, if someone is curious, the person will be compelled to take some type of direct action in an attempt to satisfy their inate curiosity.

Although some might think that direct response marketing is a dying art because nobody wants to be "sold" anything anymore. We still do know that they want to BUY products and services. Because it's a human trait or qualtiy; the desire forf gratification. Trying to suck people into hard selling techniques like "closing," "objection handling" or using any car salesman type of pressure tactics is as successful as trying to push a car uphill!
