QUESTIONS


Q: IS THE THREE-TIME MAGAZINE AD MINIMUM INSERTION APPLICABLE TO LISTS? DO WE HAVE TO ORDER THE LISTS AT LEAST THREE TIMES?

A: If you are using magazine ads, you can use the lists just once.

Q: HOW DO I KNOW IF MY PRODUCT CAN BE SOLD BY DIRECT RESPONSE?
A: Today, more than ever, it's not just magazine subscriptions and credit card accounts that are promoted by Direct Response. Everything from travel to automobiles, to photocopy machines, to computer systems, to office supplies- even Real Estate- are all products sold or promoted by Direct Response. It is very likely that Direct Response can help sell or promote your products.

Q: IS THE MNI DIRECT RESPONSE NETWORK COMPETITIVELY PRICED?
A: By standardizing the dimensions and specifications of our ad reprint and mailing package materials, we can purchase these generic sized materials on behalf of all MNI DIRECT RESPONSE NETWORK customers. By combining many MNI customers' separate order quantities into larger single quantities, we attain volume discounts. Our quantities are higher than most individual MNI customers can generate by themselves. Our pricing reflects those savings and is competitive for our smallest quantity DIRECT RESPONSE NETWORK customers.

Q: WHAT ABOUT DIRECT RESPONSE DRAWING AWAY FROM RETAIL SALES?
A: Retailers used to fear this concept, but now have found that Direct Response and retail are actually complements to one another. And consumers differ in their shopping preferences - some prefer retail and some prefer shopping by mail. By utilizing the MNI DIRECT RESPONSE NETWORK, you appeal to both types of buyer preference.

Q: WHAT IF WE ALREADY USE DIRECT RESPONSE- HOW DOES THE MNI DIRECT RESPONSE NETWORK DIFFER? A: Your own Direct Response programs may be very successful and highly cost-effective. If so, you've probably developed your success through testing many variations and combinations of Direct Response techniques. What the MNI DIRECT RESPONSE NETWORK offers is another set of opportunities to further test and enhance your current Direct Response program.

Q: CAN OUR AD AGENCY BE INVOLVED?
A: Of course. In fact, the MNI DIRECT RESPONSE NETWORK can relieve ad agencies of many of the trafficking and production burdens typically encountered with a Direct Response campaign. This then allows your ad agency to become a more fully involved partner with your advertising and marketing strategic development.

Q: ARE THE MAGAZINE LISTS AVAILABLE ONLY THROUGH MEDIA NETWORKS?
A: Media Networks is not an exclusive source of these mailing lists. However, we know of no other single source that offers database mailing lists together with magazine ads and together with all our DIRECT RESPONSE NETWORK services
