Direct Response Marketing: 7 Examples to Drive Sales Instantly

Many people ask what the difference is between brand marketing and direct response marketing.  And the reason for that is when most people think of advertising, they think of massive campaigns by brands like Nike, Microsoft, or Starbucks.

Instagram Tests New ‘Notes’ Shelf in IG Direct, Ads on User Profiles

As you can see in this example, posted by Owen Williams (and shared by Matt Navarra) Instagram Notes are 60 character long updates that you can leave for all of your connections to see, right at the top of your inbox. I know what you’re thinking: ‘Why?’ Or more likely you’re thinking: ‘Really?’ and ‘Ew, no thanks’. Hence our categorization (we’re open to other suggestions).  But yes, Instagram is looking for another way to spark more engagement, and it obviously thinks that these ‘...

How To Create Click to Instagram Direct Ads with Auto-Reply Messages
