Discussion
Ken Kerry said, “Our discussion with Bob will highlight how he and Dental Choice Holdings have used DRTV brilliantly to garner record-breaking success for products such as AIRWAAV. Direct response advertising can be the answer for similar products in various industries that will benefit from reaching the consumer quickly with vibrant and detailed visuals detailing new and innovative features.”
Bob discussed with Ken why a long-form, direct-to-consumer campaign was the perfect vehicle for their snoring device system. “It’s about the education of the product. In the case of the snoring device, not too many people are familiar with this type of system so we need to educate them by doing a long-form infomercial where we can explain our product and make the consumer fully aware of what they are buying.”
Ken asked Bob, “Why is DRTV an important part of the overall strategy of the company?” Bob said, “This goes back to education. A product like ours is more complicated and needs to be explained. That is why DRTV is a great platform to tell our story and drive sales.” Ken asked, “When looking at his in-mouth brand of products, is DRTV, Digital, and Amazon all within the goal to build the brand to get it to a big retail play? Is that the strategy?” Bob says, “Not necessarily. Target, CVS, and Walmart employees would need education on the products, which would be highly unlikely, therefore, the product would sit on the shelves. DRTV is the best platform for our products.”
Bob says, “Every dollar we spend is measured and we are looking for a return on ad spend in every channel to optimize the business to achieve profit growth that every small entrepreneurial business is looking for.”
