direct response
Answer without intermediaries
Direct response is marketing designed to provoke immediate action—a purchase, signup, or inquiry—rather than build brand awareness over time.
The approach uses specific calls to action and tracks measurable results: The direct response ad included a coupon code to measure conversions.
Infomercials, mail-order catalogs, and clickable online ads are classic examples.
