I can’t imagine why anyone would use any other agency.” –Andy Khubani President & CEO, Idea Village “Lockard & Wechsler's ability to maximize an infomercial hit, as well as grind-out a marginal show, allows Thane to acquire the largest number of customers possible.

  13. Nine Rules for a DRTV Success 1. Make empirical, not emotional, decisions.And base them on cold, hard, timely facts. 2. Numbers are everything. They don’t lie. But they do have to be handled by experts so they give up their secrets and provide meaningful direction. 3. Programs should work the first time, every time. In the right hands, results can always be improved, but not enough to resuscitate a program that’s dead on arrival. 4. Frequency is the benefit of success, not the key to success. An expert direct marketing agency will help you run a successful campaign for all it’s worth 5. Never force anything. You can’t beat a down cycle. The key is in knowing what the cycles are and going with the flow. 6. Don’t waste time; opportunities are fleeting. A great media agency will be able to identify them and pounce on your behalf. 7. DR is a science. The discipline will lead you to success.Run hard with the winners. Cut your losers ruthlessly. Always take advantage of all the analytical tools and expertise available to you. 8.Test early and often. Don’t wait for a campaign to weaken.Test offer, creative and media from the very beginning. There’s always room for improvement. 9. Treat DRTV and the Internet as a single channel.The Internet adds efficiencies to DRTV, and DRTV adds scale to the Internet.
