What Is Next For Lead Generation?

Posted » February 28th, 2011

Having been in the broadcast business for over 16 years now I happen to know a few people. I know people who sell ad space and I know plenty of people who advertise their businesses on TV and Radio. Over the past few months I have been checking in with all my friends and have found one thing we all seem to have in common: We have been waiting for that next big thing. And by that next big thing I mean a service that the American public needs right now. Two and a half years ago mortgage modification ads blew our phone lines up. A year and a half ago we added debt settlement to the mix and quickly saw our call volume nearly double. I remember saying that it was a sad state of affairs that what Americans appear to need most is help fighting off foreclosure and/or massive credit card debt and medical bills. Mortgage services were basically gone and so was the demand for nearly everything that did not involve staving off financial disaster. And while we are still airing ads for these services it is clear that the need for them has diminished. Thus the universal question… what next? Stay tuned for the answer.

About a month ago, we began airing TV ads that promote Vehicle Service Contracts (VSC), formerly referred to as Auto Warranties. From day one, we were generating calls. As the campaign has gained momentum, our call volume has increased exponentially. Bear in mind, we have aired VSC ads in the past and we had a very large VSC client who hired us to produce and air ads for him a couple of years ago… but the response was never this good. It looks like people are starting to come out of their financial duress, and are looking for ways to protect themselves from letting it happen again. I mean, if your car breaks down and you do not have the cash, you are going to throw it on your credit card… right? Next thing you know, you have got huge credit card debts and cannot afford your mortgage and so on. Perhaps Americans are becoming more aware of why they are falling into debt and are budgeting better. That is a perfect scenario for VSC since its main selling point is staying within the consumers budget.

It has often been said that when one window closes another opens. In this case I would edit that statement to read that as one window narrows another is flung wide open! We are still chugging away with Debt Settlement and Mortgage Modification campaigns and now we have another exciting vehicle taking off. We have diligently researched VSC. We know who the ideal customer is and we know where to find them. Most importantly we know how to make them excited about obtaining a VSC so that when they call they are serious about talking with someone who can sell them one. We only target top tier networks so that our calls are from viewers who can afford to pay the monthly fee. And our ads are of the highest broadcast quality filmed and edited in HD. These are ingredients that have allowed our clients to flourish in all verticals like Debt Loan Mod and Mortgage and it is also working great for VSC. Our clients are experiencing average call durations of over 11 minutes! They are talking with excited prospects and generating tremendous profit… and we are satisfying their need for leads every day. What is really exciting about this vertical is that it looks like it could be around for a very long time. This means having a strong relationship with an exceptional marketing company will allow VSC companies years of stable growth and income. National Media Connection has done its work and we are poised to help companies in this space experience fantastic growth. We have no less than three new ads debuting over the next two weeks and we are growing our network of trusted stations and networks daily. If you are looking for the next thing to sell and a special company to fill your pipeline beyond your wildest dreams… look no further!

Hulk Hogan and More News

Posted » July 9th, 2010

So much has happened since my last post that I don’t know where to start.

As many of you must know by now, we introduced Hulk Hogan, aka Terry Bollea, as our paid spokesperson for Debt Help Center USA. We continue to refine his message and test several different versions on different media. Hulk has been a pleasure to work with since day one, and continues to be an inspiration to us all. His outlook, despite all of his personal setbacks, is a wonderful life lesson. Like Hulk, we continue to persevere. As hoped, his affiliation with NMC has had a dramatically positive impact on our business and the experience has brought with it a new perspective on how to make direct response successful. And it’s just the beginning…

On another front, we’re starting to see an explosion in both demand and response for auto loan modification calls. This is an exciting category with fantastic room for growth and there’s virtually no limit to how many calls we can generate right now. So if you’re looking to grow your company, this could be the ideal opportunity. Just a few clients and you’ll see some amazing returns. And despite some recent legal entanglements as a result of a few unscrupulous companies, this category still has a very clean reputation.

Overall, media has finally softened slightly. We’re seeing more ad clearance than last quarter, although it’s still early and that could change. This is a good sign for lead generation, and we hope the trend continues. Now that children are home from school, it appears more parents are home too. That’s increasing response across all verticals. As always, we here at NMC continue to produce compelling new ads that resonate with viewers and elicit maximum response from the right customers. We have many new spots, both infomercials and :60 ads, about to take flight over the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

NMC and Industry News

Posted » May 20th, 2010

Welcome to the first installment of the National Media Connection (NMC) blog. I’m pleased to write that we have a lot going on right now. We are still glowing from a fruitful trip to Tampa, FL, where we completed a monster shoot that will have a massive impact on our company’s, and our clients’, futures. I’m not prepared to make an announcement yet, but I can assure you that America will soon see the product of the last several months of work on the air within two weeks. The ads are for Debt Help Center, USA and will be fully compliant. We hope this will allow us to generate enough calls to satisfy ever increasing industry demand. One thing I’ve learned in over 15 years in this business, though, is that you never know. Sometimes “shoe-ins” end up going bust and unheralded ads bask in the glory of nearly unlimited returns. It’s this unknown factor that makes our business so exciting and frustrating at the same time! We’ll put the ads out there and let America decide…

Meanwhile, we’re continuing to build our Auto Loan Modification brand and are generating calls to meet rising demand. Media inventory remains surprisingly tight across all brands and networks. Direct Response ads are appearing more regularly than ever before and even the “big boys” are throwing toll free numbers in their ads and flooding the airwaves with fat budgets. They also pay higher rates and tolerate a higher cost-per-call, squeezing ad inventory tighter and tighter. Once dubbed the “red-headed stepchild” of the advertising industry, Direct Response now deserves credit for keeping both local stations and national networks in business. This means our ads need to be more effective and our media buys more efficient. I promise you that we’re working tirelessly to do both and will continue to do so going forward.

We have many exciting new features rolling out on the call distribution side. Just this week, we added a feature with Kall-8 that allows clients to see what calls received are “repeats” and which are new. Soon we will offer concurrent calling as well as other special features to make our clients’ experience with us even more enjoyable.

Stay tuned for more exciting announcements soon…
