Cost Per Inquiry & Cost Per Sale Advertising

What is Cost Per Inquiry (CPI) Advertising?

Cost Per Inquiry Advertising (CPI) is a way for marketers and advertisers to generate sales, incoming calls and leads for their product and/or services in a cost effective manner. The advertiser or marketer is not buying the advertising time as in a cash media buy situation, but rather is only paying a % for a call or lead that is generated by a consumer call to the clients’ 800 #, a visit to the clients’ website, landing page or the filling out of a web entry form. At the appropriate time, NMS can provide your company with a Free Infrastructure Review of your company’s infrastructure as well as products and/or services to determine if your offering(s) will qualify for the NMS CPI Program.

Effective in 2021 NMS requires all potential CPI or CPS Clients to run a “cash buy” test program on a National, Regional or Local level to determine if a client’s products, services and concept will generate enough volume to run in a CPI or CPS program. NMS CPI rates for a CPI or CPS program will be determined after the test program is complete. Contact your NMS National Consultant for more details.

What is Cost Per Sale (CPS) Advertising?

CPS is a very similar program to a CPI program. CPS programs allow marketers and advertisers to sell a product and/or service directly to consumers or businesses and then share a % of the gross sale price with NMS. NMS does not typically accept any CPS programs with retail sales prices that are below: $300.00 per unit sold. If you have a product or service that sells above that amount and has a high markup, NMS may consider a CPS program for your company. CPS is not for every product or service and NMS may also require a small or medium DMA market cash buy test at the clients’ expense to determine the viability of a CPS program with NMS.

Is CPI or CPS advertising right for my product and/or service?

Contrary to popular belief, CPI and CPS offerings are not simply free advertising! In many cases a CPI/CPS deal may not be appropriate for a particular product or service. CPI/CPS offerings may not be a good way for under budgeted advertisers or marketers to get on the air. In order for CPI/CPS advertising to work there are several elements that are required to offer a great CPI/CPS program to consumers and/or businesses;

A great set of TV, Radio and/or Online Advertising Spots, Banner Ads and Videos.
A very easy to remember 800 number(s).
An extremely good website, web address(s) and landing page(s).
A 24 x 7 call center, answering system and a great call center script.
A product and/or service that is unique, priced right and of interest to the general or specific consumer or business.
