BUYING ON C.P.O.
and
*If your media buys are to be based on any single common denominator that
*monitors performance, it should be Cost Per Order (CPO).
and
*In direct response television, the bottom line is your CPO - how much it
*costs you to generate one sale or one inquiry.
and
*THE LOWER YOUR CPO, THE HIGHER YOUR PROFITS. Remember, with DRTV, media
*buying has nothing to do with programming or demographics. It is strictly
*a numbers game. The fewer dollars you spend to reach your viewer base, the
*better your CPO.
and
*CPO SHOULD GENERALLY BE UNDER 50% OF SELLING PRICE. To determine your CPO,
*simply divide your airtime cost by the number of orders you generated from
*that singel airing of your infomercial. This amount should be less that 50%
*of your selling price.
and
and
*
*> If your selling price is $60, your CPO is 33% of your selling price
*> If your selling price is $100, your CPO is 20% of your selling price
MONITORING & EVALUATION and *The success or failure of an infomercial can be determined by one or two *airings. If the first airing produces marginal results, you may want to *give it a second shopt for comparison. If the second airing is equally *disappointing, go back to the drawing board. and *Immediately evaluate the performance of each airing the morning after. *Although orders may continue to straggle in two or three days after an *infomercial is aired, each airing's performance can be largely determined *by evaluating it within 12 hours. and *EACH AIRING MUST BE PROFITABLE NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTS. YOUR ONLY OTHER *CONCERN SHOULD BE TO COMPARE THE CPO AND RATION OF ONE MEDIA BUY TO THE NEXT. and *Infomercials are not like regular programs, which can build viewership with *an increase in frequency. If your infomercial does not deliver a profitable *return after one or two airings, it probably never will. and *Furthermore, if after one or two airings, your infomercial proves profitable, *your next task isto develop a media plan that will increase those profits. *By selecting stations, time slots, and air dates that will produce the *lowest CPOs, you can dramatically increase your profit ratio. and and and |
