How to Elicit a Direct Customer Response
Have you ever been up late at night, flipping through the channels aimlessly? You may have noticed that the airwaves are crammed with infomercials at that hour. Even if you’ve never felt the desire to purchase a miracle face cream or ab-workout device, there’s no denying that those items do sell like hotcakes. The only question is, why is this so? The answer lies in a technique known as direct response marketing.
The idea is to instill a sense of urgency in the consumer by placing a countdown clock in the corner of the screen and urging her to “buy now.” If the customer believes she will be losing out on a great deal, she’s more likely to make an immediate purchase. Similar Internet marketing ideas can be employed online. Try pushing relevant items at certain times of the year, imploring customers to click right away for instant savings.
