Some of the highest grossing, longest running infomercial campaigns currently running are not
profitable on the front end. But even with MER's of less than 1:1, (meaning they don't even
generate enough cash to cover their media bills); they are among the most profitable shows on
the air. The way they do it has turned out industry on its ear: it's called continuity. You put
your clients on continued monthly or bi-monthly shipments of new product, and hit their cards
every thirty days. That way the high media cost of acquiring a new customer is covered by the
high profits attached to continuity sales, which have no media costs.
If you are wondering how some of the very long running skin and beauty care, neutraceutical and
ingestible/fitness equipment campaigns are so lucrative, now you know.
Until now, continuity based campaigns have been almost exclusively the province of well funded
companies, because you need deep pockets to fund the negative cash flow waiting for the
continuity profits to start kicking in. Now Media Funding Corporation makes the promise of
continuity marketing available to all direct response marketers - with its new Continuity
Advance program.
Its simple. We will advance you money against future continuity shipments so you will have the
cash now to run more media and acquire more clients. It's the best way to ramp up a program
that by its very structure will run in the red for five or six months, before it becomes
very, very profitable.
