avVaa World Health Care Products Inc. Announces Third Media Test

PR Newswire (US)
LUMBY, BC, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- avVaa World Health
Care Products Inc. (Pink Sheets: AVVH), a global biotechnology
company, manufacturer and distributor of nationally branded
therapeutic, natural skin and health care products, announced their
third Direct TV Media Test is scheduled to launch on Thursday
October 29. avVaa World Health Care Products Inc. announced the
results of their second media test, and the launch of their third
test beginning October 29, 2009. avVaa's second Direct TV media
test, which ran from October 5 to October 18, showed positive
results with just under $10,000 in sales. More customers responded
via both phone and website. "This media test was a success," stated
President and Chief Operating Officer Lorie Campbell Farley. "We
generated significantly higher sales through both our call center
and our website. Our number of sales was higher, and the dollar
amount of each sale increased greatly." avVaa used the second media
test to try out Synergixx as their new media buying agent, and to
measure results between the Neuroskin(R) hard and soft offer 120
second DRTV commercials. "Synergixx did an excellent job with the
media buy," commented Mrs. Campbell-Farley. "They got us more than
double the spots. More importantly, the quality of the spots was
higher - the networks and times chosen got better results." It was
a close call between the hard and soft offer DRTV commercials. As
expected, the soft offer generated more calls, as customers phoned
in to inquire about price. The hard offer generated fewer calls,
but a higher percentage of sales, as customers knew the price when
they called in. When the test was completed, the soft offer
generated a slightly higher total dollar value. Armed with this
knowledge, avVaa is moving forward with their third test, scheduled
to commence on October 29 and run for one week. This latest test
will run on three television stations, and will test for three
specific results. First, Neuroskin(R) Psoriasis Relief will be
offered at a lower price, to establish whether increased calls at a
lower price will generate more revenue than fewer calls at the
current price of $34.95. "During our last test run, our average
order value was $90," said Lorie Campbell-Farley. "So we know that
our current price of $34.95 is attracting customers, and that they
are not afraid to spend more for a product they believe in. What we
need to find out now is which price generates the most revenue. If
we offer Neuroskin(R) at a lower price, will the increased customer
response generate more overall revenue, or will we just get more
calls and make the same amount of money?" Second, one TV station
will also show commercials that offer a phone number but not a
website, to determine which option offers the best total sales. "We
have a couple of reasons for doing this," shared Mrs.
Campbell-Farley. "We recognize that a large number of consumers
prefer to order by web, but we'd like to see if we can up sell them
when they call in to ask for our website. In addition, we're in the
process of making changes to the website so it converts at a higher
rate, and we'd like to direct more traffic to the call center while
we optimize." Finally, the media test will compare the benefits of
running a high number of commercials in a small region with running
a lower number on a national station. "We want to know the role
frequency plays in our sales," said Mrs. Campbell-Farley. "We can
saturate our two regional stations with about 25-35 commercials for
the same price that we will get 10-12 spots on a national station.
Psoriasis is a persistent medical condition, which means many of
our consumers have tried multiple remedies with very little
success. They may need to see the commercial a number of times
before they trust it enough to call in." When asked why avVaa is
running multiple media tests, Lorie Campbell-Farley responded,
"This is a normal part of taking a product to market. It's
impossible to check every factor with just one or two tests. We
have to be able to pinpoint the results of each question we ask. If
we tested everything in one set of commercials, we wouldn't have
the measurable data that we need." avVaa's third media test will
run from Thursday October 29 to Wednesday November 4, with the
majority of commercials showing between Thursday and Sunday. About
