You can simply watch the commercial of that particular product on direct response television, order it through phone, and get the product delivered at your door step. The whole idea of direct response TV is to connect you directly with the manufacturer or the wholesaler of the product bypassing retail. No more shopping through retailers or brokers.

Let’s see how this works.
Direct response tv is a term used to define any programs that broadcast and promote services and products straight from the manufacturer or wholesaler. Manufacturers use direct response tv to market their products and services to the consumer without routing them through retailers or shops. Every product marketed on direct response tv comes with a phone number that can you can call to order the product. It saves you from all the hassles of going to market, comparing the price at ten shops, and than buying the product or service.

Direct response tv is a form of direct response advertising where the marketers can instantly know the consumers response towards their product. Like other platforms for direct response advertising, direct response tv, brings the product live in front of you, make you aware of the features, advantages, and price of the product. It gives you the choice, you would want to buy the product or not. If you wish to buy the product or service, all what you need to do is to call up the given number. The product or the service offered is just a call away, you have to take an instant decision, to buy or not to buy.

Gone are the days when the manufacturers had to promote their products by getting them into stores, know the response of consumers from across the country, and than launch an advertising campaign. Still they had to wait for some time before they could actually find out from the store managers, if the product was selling or not. If the product was not selling per expectations, it meant that the marketers or manufacturers would have to again sit and device a new marketing strategy and conduct a research to find out what was lacking in the product or the advertising campaign.

 With direct response tv, manufacturers, and wholesalers have a tool which could instantly measure the consumer’s reaction to the product. Whether the product is being preferred by the consumers, is pricing and marketing approach ok?, all could be known on immediate basis- thanks to direct response tv. The manufacture could have his or her own phone bank, sit their and count the phone calls coming in for the product, after the infomercial was aired on direct response television on nation wide basis. Through this way, the manufacturer can know the consumers response to the product in a matter of few hours. This would have never been possible without direct response tv.

The manufacturers market their product or services, via two types of direct response tv- long and short.  Long form direct response is a commercial which is longer than two minutes, while short form direct response commercial is shorter than two minutes. The duration of the direct response commercial could vary from product to product and manufacturer to manufacturer. The motive is same- a direct contact from consumer indenting to buy the product, to the manufacturer of the product.
