How NMC Produces Live Leads
"Any great campaign starts with great creative."

Perhaps the most important aspects in producing live leads in any industry is producing compelling copy.
The NMC creative team has an amazing track record of producing winning television campaigns, which starts from the very first conversation with our clients. We begin by researching your industry. Whether you’re in the mortgage industry, addiction and recovery, senior auto financing, final expense, reverse mortgage, a recognized brand, healthcare, or any other business, we start asking questions to discover why customers buy from you and what separates you from your competitors (Unique Selling Proposition). Then we study the psychology of the core customer within your industry. Why do they buy? What are the hot buttons that will generate response? After years of experience and millions of inbound calls, we know what will trigger interest. The offer has to be crafted the right way to cater to your audience and just a few words can mean the difference between success and failure. Should there be an on-air spokesperson? Male or female or both? What age and look? Our team debates the advantages/disadvantages of these seemingly minor details so you don’t have to. Once we have a script that we’re confident will produce results, we submit it for approval and learn from your feedback.
Production Stage
This is when your script comes to life and the magic begins. Our state-of-the-art production studio and multiple editing suites allow us to create just the right commercial or infomercial for the occasion. NMC can accomplishes this in a fraction of the time that it takes a traditional production company. The pacing, images, soundtrack, and supersized sound effects are crucial to keep viewers’ attention and generate inbound calls. Once we have a “rough cut,” we send it to the entire NMC team as a focus group to get their feedback. We’re proud of our diverse group of intelligent individuals. Everyone’s opinion matters. Is the message clear? Is the commercial/infomercial compelling? Is it compliant and not misleading in any way? We want everyone’s voice represented. If it’s an infomercial, we prepare the script for closed captioning, an FCC requirement that we perform in-house. This final step means it’s ready to be sent out to our dub house for quality control and mass distribution.
Media Distribution
NMC has developed relationships with several media partners across the country. This is where our over 17 year history gives our clients unique and amazing opportunities. We can distribute hundreds of dubs a day and get your message out to the masses quickly. Due to our successful track record, the media is eager to air our offers on a pay-per-call, or performance, basis. After all, the best production wins since that will generally deliver the most inbound calls, allowing us to pay more than our competitors for the same media. If our commercial generates 50 calls and a competitor generates 25 calls on the same network, our offer will air; and it will air often. Our competitor’s offer may rarely get “clearance” (airtime). They have the option of doubling their rate, but they’ll still generate far fewer calls. The result is you’ll receive twice as many calls at half the rate. In addition, NMC has created a proprietary call tracking system that interacts with our toll-free numbers to report, in real time, every call generated from our campaigns, including the media source. This is critical for both our clients and media partners to see campaign performance in “real time” and to make quick adjustments. When a media partner sees your campaign “taking flight”, they can immediately order more dubs and push it harder, knowing it’s a winner. We’ve taken a one-to-two week process and reduced it to one-to-two days! That’s another reason why we may spend more on performance media than any other agency in the country, resulting in several thousand calls a week from our televisions commercials and infomercials.

And here’s the really exciting news. We also air infomercials on a pay-per-call basis. We’re the only company in America that can produce your infomercial for a fair and reasonable price, assuming much of the risk, and bill for the resulting inbound calls, not for media. We literally partner with you to generate inbound calls. And these are calls from excited and engaged consumer who are educated about the services promoted. We take much of the risk and when your show is successful, you reap amazing benefits. We provide weekly media schedules and accurate call projections, giving our clients unprecedented control over their pay-per-call infomercial campaign. This is performance marketing at its best. And even though we invest in you, we don’t want a piece of your company or a piece of your profits, only a fair price for the leads we generate for you. Clients have also come to us with their own shows. Sometimes these shows have been sitting on a shelf collecting dust. We test it with our media partners on our national platform, and suddenly their phones are ringing off the hook and they’re seeing their sales spike. We love helping clients succeed and impacting their bottom line, and it all starts with the first call (in more ways than one!).
