: Buying is highly iterative. If a specific time slot or network doesn't perform, the budget is quickly reallocated to high-performing segments.
: Clear instructions for the viewer (e.g., "Call now" or "Visit our site").
: Aligning media placements with the target demographic's viewing habits to minimize "attrition" and maximize engagement.
: The primary goal is to drive new customer or donor acquisition with a focus on immediate Return on Investment (ROI).
: Buyers often purchase "remnant" inventory at a discount. While this airtime is "preemptible" (meaning it can be bumped by a higher-paying brand advertiser), the lower cost allows for higher ROI.
