Direct Response = Direct to Consumer

Once the domain of infomercials, Direct Response is now the business model most companies utilize. Today, selling directly to the consumer relies on advertising strategy using a variety of mediums, social media, videos, ads, YouTube, Twitter, testimonials/reviews, etc., to compel the potential buyer to take immediate action.

Yet one thing remains the same…a clear understanding of your consumer, their mindset, and how to break through are imperatives for success. 

We bring years of experience conducting thousands of studies based on the 4 Point Process as part of our Strategic Process. 

  1. Know your prime prospect

  2. Know your prospect’s problem

  3. Know your product and how that solves the problem

  4. Breakthrough the boredom barrier of clutter

We approach every project with the same Strategic Process methodology, the foundation of our work. In Direct Response, our customized research studies provide actionable recommendations which are transformed into meaningful advertising that cuts through the clutter and succeeds remarkably well.

Qualitative Research

Focus groups, mini-groups, di-ads, tri-ads, one on one’s, qual boards, online/in-person and hybrids

Unique Selling Proposition (USP) Study

So you think you’ve got your USP. 

You’ve brainstormed with your team and agency, considered all the reasons why consumers will buy your product, enlisted your creatives, but before you launch and spend the time and money it takes to go to market, do you really know your USP?  There is a simple, effective and economical way to test or develop your unique selling proposition, the foundation of your brand and any successful campaign, regardless of the medium.  

Our USP Study leverages the 4 Point Process in a research design that’s worked for over 50 years.  We efficiently build a successful USP by defining your target market’s problems in conjunction with your product/service in two phases.  

Phase I: develops the problem list utilizing qualitative studies, client/agency immersion, etc.  

Phase II: relies on a quick and cost-effective quantitative methodology where target market participants rank their problems with the product/service.  

The results provide a clear marketing opportunity/USP, a unique niche in the category and a distinctive opportunity.
