Per Inquiry Advertising Agency Adds Radio Specialist
Industry veteran to place and manage ads with broadcast outlets
PHOENIX (March 6, 2007) —Sales executive Cindy Truitt of
Dallas has joined Higher Power Marketing (HPM) to handle radio sales and service
for the Phoenix-based per inquiry (PI) advertising agency.
The key to PI – also known variously as cost per lead (CPL), pay per
lead (PPL), cost per action (CPA) or direct response (DR) – is that the
client receives free ad time and space while paying only for results. HPM has
relationships with media outlets across the country – radio, television,
print, Internet and movie theaters – and access to their unsold inventory
of ad space. The agency acquires the rights to the unsold time and/or space for
its clients, which pay only for qualified responses. Thus, a client can establish
a stable, predictable CPL within its business plan, assuring a positive return
on investment (ROI).
Truitt’s role with HPM will be to contact radio networks, program syndicators
and group-owned stations to see if they have unsold inventory they would like
to monetize by airing HPM’s lead-generating clients. She also will make
sure those outlets have updated versions of clients’ commercials and the
terms for their use.
Truitt has enjoyed two decades in the advertising industry, including 12
years at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where she sold local newspaper advertising – along
with direct mail products and local magazines – and was named a Sales Person
of the Year.
She later handled large accounts for Clear Channel Outdoor, generated new
business for a Dallas-area radio station and managed the Internet arm of a TV
production company. She has since established herself as an independent contractor
specializing in Internet marketing and PI advertising.
“Cindy’s varied experience and clear understanding and love of
the PI business make her a valuable addition to our growing team,” says
HPM President and CEO Peter Feinstein. “She has worked on several projects,
including a travel agent online lead-generation campaign for a major international
cruise line and other Internet lead-generation and database-building campaigns.”
HPM’s emphasis on PI and CPL results appeals to clients who care about
how well their advertising works, not necessarily when or where it runs. Those
clients come from a variety of business sectors, including:
- Health insurance
- IRS tax resolution
- Structured
settlements
- Higher education
- Mortgage
- Credit counseling
- Tort
litigation
- Home/lifestyle improvement
|
- Business opportunities
- Home care products
- Travel
vacation sales
- Automotive aftermarket
- Debt elimination
- Information
services
- Weight-loss programs
- Medical discount programs
|
HPM’s PI strategy allows companies to boost business without the usual
risks associated with advertising.
