Just because you have a new product that you think is amazing doesn't mean that everyone else will. You know DRTV is a great way to let the masses know about your product, but would they buy it? Regardless of how you personally feel about your product you need to step back and evaluate whether it has mass appeal. There are a few questions you can ask yourself to help determine whether or not DRTV is the right way to market your product.
Market
The very first consideration is your market base. When you evaluate your market be honest when determining if your target is large or small. This is important because the size of your market can spell success or failure for your DRTV marketing campaign. Television advertising is traditionally very expensive and DRTV advertising is much more affordable when compared side by side. However, that does not make it cheap and a great deal of money and time is needed for a successful DRTV campaign. As a result, an accurate and honest appraisal of a product's overall worth and potential in the DRTV arena is crucial. In general, for a DRTV campaign to be worthwhile there must be a large target market for the product. The product needs to have mass appeal and the numbers need to work out in your favor before choosing a DRTV campaign.

Make a Plan
A comprehensive plan is necessary before choosing whether or not to use DRTV as you remarketing method. In your plan you will want to address the item that will be marketed, how you plan on getting viewers to respond to the product, and any additional products or offers that might be included in the DRTV spot.
Numbers
Something else worth examining is whether or not you can truly afford DRTV. It's an expensive process and there are no guarantees of success. That's why it's important to evaluate potential for success as well as how much money is available to invest. If you can't go all the way with DRTV it doesn't make sense to even get started
