Building Brand with Direct Response Television

a new book by Doug Garnett

In the early 1990s, Doug Garnett and a small set of advertising pioneers recognized that DRTV could do much more than sell gimmicks on TV – that it could be powerful advertising for brands.
Valuable lessons from nearly two decades creating successful brand DRTV campaigns have led to this unique book. Building Brand with DRTV examines the critical strategic and tactical issues for this underutilized advertising medium and delivers powerful information from cover to cover.
The hidden power of direct response television
What role should DRTV play in your business? Start by understanding how DRTV works, the difference between long and short-form, it’s role in branding, and, while we’re at it, the amazing transcendence of TV’s power (despite new media hype).
Is direct response television right for your brand?
DRTV is powerful for far more products than you’d ever expect. Learn about the amazing range of products where DRTV can make the difference between success and failure. From Google to drill bit sharpeners, it’s time to move your vision for DRTV far beyond beauty and get rich schemes.
Those who work in the retail industry are all-too familiar with “The Shelf Potato”.
You know these – the product everyone loves except it sits on the shelf far too long. These aren’t rare products – and every manufacturer and retailer has to deal with them. Building Brand with DRTV explores the Shelf Potato in-depth and teaches you how to keep your new product from becoming one and how DRTV can turn your Shelf Potato’s lackluster sales into a dramatic success!

Learn how dramatic successes (like the Foreman Grill) contributed to company failures. Best of all, learn tricks and tips that you can use to drive your own DRTV success. And then you’ll be able to create ads that success – without formula!

“Direct Response Television is one of the very few communication opportunities that can truly change the game.” – Doug Garnett
