Traditionally, radio, television, and news papers have low ROI, however, this is dependent upon which industry your business serves, as different industries perform better using different medians.

Direct mail, coupons, fliers, canvassing, and other forms of direct marketing usually offer much higher ROI.  With canvassing having the highest ROI and the most controlled costs, making it one of A&B's most popular services.

Why do people continue to do things with low ROI?

The medians that offer higher ROI usually require a marketing specialist in order to maximize the effectiveness of that type of marketing campaign. Some common mistakes are not putting "call" in front of a phone number, this simple tip will help you increase an ad's effectiveness.  Another common mistake is making an ad too busy, hard to read, or sending the wrong message with the wrong imagery. However, the most common reason people continue to use medians with low ROI is because they saw someone else do it and reason its probably the best thing to do. This is call "Copy Cat Marketing" and it usually proves very costly as well ineffective.

When To Use Radio,TV, or Newspaper

It takes on average 3 to 5  times of a prospect seeing the same or simular message in a different form before they decide to respond to that advertisement. Radio, TV, and Newspapers can be a very useful branding tool that will increase your ROI on other campaigns. With an effective radio ad, people will remember your name. With an effective direct marketing median you can give them the incentive to buy or "Call to Action".  This can raise the response on a direct mailer from 1% upto 5%, or even 10%.

What Should I Do then?

How to Calculate ROI and Response
The simplest way to calculate ROI is to find the total amount of money made off a marketing campaign or single promotion, then divide that money by the total cost of a campaign. A marketing campaign that costs $250 but makes $2500 has a ROI of 10%. How is ROI different from Response Rates? Response rates are the percentage of people who called after seeing your ad.  If you did a direct mailer that sent out 1,000 mailers and costs $600 with a response rate of 1% you would have earned 100 new customers. If your product costs $60 you would have made $6,000 and your ROI would be 10%.  A&B uses such methods to find the best marketing campaigns that will generate the most revenue for you.
