5. So How Can Brands Enhance Sales Now
Using TV Content On Line
• Many major brands use TV as a means to enhance their on line offer, but they could be it
doing so much better…
• Good news – broadband penetration/streaming technologies are much better, but…
• Basic sales and marketing principles are often not being followed
• You must maintain a high production value for the online adverts – one camera set up with
poor lighting of product sitting static = lack of interest and lack of sales
6. So How Can Brands Enhance Sales Now
Using TV Content On Line

– small image on TV will look tiny on line
• Simple link to purchase at the end of the online advert
• Remember – online DRTV/TV shopping must sell every second (like every other channel)
