Rohit Bhargava has put together a wonderful short presentation about why infomercial style marketing works.

This is one of the best presentations I’ve seen for its length.

Often times business owners, and I’ve encountered many over the years, are cynical of the prospects that  infomercial direct-response style advertising works.

They say …

The language is “too strong” or “too salesy”. The fact is, it works. That’s why there will always be some marketers whose advertising will stand head and shoulders above the rest – their ads generate higher response than the naysayers.

By no means would I push a client to continually ‘advertise’ in a way they aren’t comfortable with. It’s their business and they have the right to present their communications in any way they want.

But it’s our responsibility as marketers, consultants and advisers to show our clients why, in this case, the direct-response approach often works so much better than the toned down message of the masses that gets lost before the market has a chance to really hear it – and when they do its messages are so fuzzy they fade into the sky with all the rest.
