There are quite a few pluses to advertising with short form DRTV. The biggest benefit is for the consumer, however, because they are able to make purchases from the comfort of their own home. Short form DRTV advertisements, frequently referred to as infomercials, and are even more beneficial than traditional advertising. This is because regular commercials show consumers amazing new products, but they don't allow them to purchase them immediately and they certainly don't demonstrate how the product should be used and all of its benefits. Unfortunately, when consumers are watching television and see a commercial for a new product they may think that it's a product they really want to buy. However, by the time the find the product in a store they may have forgotten the exact brand name or all of the details of the product. Then, they are more likely to purchase a competitors' product.
When short form DRTV is used for advertising a product there is no problem with potential consumers getting confused with other products. That's because it is easy for consumers to pick up the phone and order the product immediately. Alternatively, consumers may open their computers and visit the product's URL to learn more and to purchase the product. There is no confusion or mix-ups and the consumer is happy because they are able to get the product they want immediately. Not having to leave the house and go search various stores for the product in need is certainly a benefit and one of the reasons why short form DRTV is so popular.

Another benefit for short form DRTV advertisers is that once a customer makes a purchase they are happy with then they are more likely to engage in "word of mouth advertising" and this in turn will result in more sales. Not to mention, once a consumer has made a purchase they are happy with then they will be more likely to buy other products sold by the company in the future.
Since short form DRTV is more affordable to air than other types of commercials then companies of all sizes can advertise their products this way. That's a benefit that companies should keep in mind and take advantage of.
