| Direct Response
Television, or DRTV for short, includes any TV
advertising that asks consumers to respond directly to
the company --- usually either by calling an 800 number
or by visiting a web site. This is a form of direct
response marketing. When it first appeared, DRTV was
used to market goods and services directly from the
manufacturer or wholesaler to the consumer, bypassing
retail. Over time, it has also become used as a more
general advertising medium and is now used by a wide
range of companies --- often to support retail
distribution. NO COMPANY IN THE OFFSHORE CALL CENTRE

Many types of companies use DRTV. The first are
marketing companies who specialize in DRTV and bring
products out exclusively sold through TV. Many of these
items find their way to retail shelves once their
television campaign has ended. Mass merchant retailers
often have "as seen on TV" sections in their stores.
In recent years, many brand manufacturers have begun
to use DRTV as a part of their advertising mix. In these
cases, most products featured on DRTV are also available
at retail. The DRTV campaigns ask for direct consumer
action either to purchase the product or to obtain a
coupon which they can use at the retail store.
DRTV has also become a commonly used advertising
medium for insurance companies, cell phone providers,
credit card companies, and a host of other services.
Even retailers themselves use DRTV to drive demand.
