Direct Response Marketing In A Recession
Direct response Marketing in a recession can be one of, if not the best, types of marketing. Using direct response marketing allows you to precisely measure response and predict — with statistical certainty — the outcome of your future efforts. You can know for every dollar you spend, exactly how many leads you can generate, how many appointments you can set, how many closings you have made and finally the numbers of sales with the gross income created. By tracking those numbers, you can easily generate the true costs broken down by cost per lead, costs per appointment, cost per sale, and show the exact ROI (return on investment) for the dollars invested in marketing and training; as well as per hour spent on specific activities. If you aren’t tracking these, how do you know if you are doing the right things?
Many small business owners feel what they are doing is “working” without having tested it or tracking where they are at which indicates a complete lack of understanding of the basics of any marketing. Unless you are tracking and receive statistically reliable results, you don’t have any idea whether you are improving or going backwards.
During good times it’s not hard to live off the low hanging fruit. But when consumers cut back as they do in a recession, if a business does not adapt by knowing their ROI they could easily find themselves on the way out of business.
