DRTV has unlimited potential when it comes to benefitting your product and/or services. However, it is important to harness the potential and direct it in the right direction. The reason why DRTV is highly beneficial is because it makes it easier for customers to purchase what you are selling. Anytime that occurs you will find more customers willing to buy the product. Since your product most likely has mass appeal and will make the customer's life better in some way there is no doubt that customers will enjoy watching your infomercial. DRTV allows potential customers to watch the infomercial about the product and pick up the phone or visit the company website during the programming and purchase your product. This is the best benefit of infomercials because it appeals to the customers' "right now" attitude. With typical products customers may see a product they are really interested in. However, the only method to buy that product is to get in the car and drive store to store looking for it. That is time consuming and can be quite frustrating when the product can't be located. In this situation a competitor's product is often purchased, too. This could be due to brand confusion or simply the inability to find the original product and the desire for something similar.
The Right Here, Right Now Appeal
You have done your market research and found out when your potential customers are watching TV and that's when you will air your DRTV programming. Remember, you will be advertising to customers who are going to want the product being advertised. That means that when the customer sees your product and realizes they want it they can immediately act on that want by picking up the phone or visiting the company website. Many potential customers are lost through traditional advertising because customers don't know where to find the product, forget about the product, or buy a competitor's product. Keep that in mind when weighing whether or not to use DRTV to advertise your product.

Additional Benefits
Additional benefits of DRTV include return shoppers and word of mouth advertising. Once your original customers receive their purchases in the mail and are happy with the product they will be considerably more likely to buy from your company again. This could be the same product for a gift or else a new product that is launched. Next, these same individuals will advertise for you by word of mouth, which will also increase your sales.
