Having a well-built online presence has become critical for business success. How can you effectively employ direct-response marketing as a growth strategy?

According to Jonathan Peress, a leader in tech-enabled marketing and alternative media, creating an effective direct-response campaign is challenging but highly rewarding. With the right campaign, you can grab your audience’s attention and drive results, but this requires expertise and experience. Therefore, Jonathan recommends hiring a direct-response agency to help craft messages that resonate with your target audience and compel them to take action. A direct-response agency can also offer advice on suitable media channels — online ads, TV spots, or direct mail — and manage your campaigns, from creative development to media buying to campaign optimization.

Jonathan explains ProMedia's services, the critical elements of a good ad, the call-to-action mistakes people make, and how to advertise effectively on multiple channels.
