Creating a Trend with Direct Response Television Advertising.
Stick with a Single Direct Response Objective;
Your infomercial that solicits viewers to make a direct purchase may also generate calls requesting additional information.
Although these unsolicited calls must be treated as highly qualified leads, they cannot be used to measure the actual success of you infomercial. Since you principal objective is to generate direct dollar sales, all the calls that generated leads must be treated as windfall.

What Happens When Customers Go to the Shopping Center Looking for Your Infomercial Product ?
As a rule of thumb, infomercials and DRTV spots are never designed to encourage retail sales. However, some consumers want to look and see a product before they purchase it. Others don't have a credit card or fail to note the ordering information provided in you infomercial.
This large contingent of potential customers can provide you with extra profits from retail sales generated by your infomercial or DRTV spot. An increase in retail sales of a number of products has been directly attributed to infomercials or DRTV spots.
For example, exercise machines like the ThighMaster and certain types of sunglasses, like BluBlockers, have enjoyed increased retail sales due to direct response advertising by the aggressive marketers of those products.
