Television advertising for dietary supplement brands

From Response to Revenue.

We write, shoot and buy TV that sells supplements to Americans over 60. Then we keep those customers buying.

Who we are

TV Conversion Group is a performance agency that works in one medium: television. We’ve spent decades making and running everything from 60-second spots to half-hour shows, on broadcast, cable and connected TV. The job never changes. Get the viewer to pick up the phone, then keep them as a customer.

One category. One audience. One channel.

01 / Category

Dietary supplements, only.

Supplements play by their own rules: approved claims, substantiation files, station clearance, continuity offers. It’s the only category we work in. You won’t be paying us to learn it.

02 / Audience

Built for the 60+ buyer.

Boomers and seniors still watch a lot of TV, and they still pick up the phone. We build the offer, the spot and the call-center script around how they actually decide to buy.

03 / Channel

Linear and connected TV.

Broadcast, cable and satellite when you need reach. Connected TV when you need to aim. Run both and you sell direct while lifting retail sales at the same time.

What we make

Spots, shows and streaming.

1–5 min

All services → A presenter being prepared on set while the camera crew sets up the shot
  1. 01

    Messaging & positioning

    Finding the angle that makes a viewer lean in, and saying it in words they’d use.

  2. 02

    Creative development & production

    Script, shoot and edit. Polished enough for broadcast, built to make the phone ring.

  3. 03

    Media strategy & management

    We plan, buy and adjust media against your numbers. Cost per order, not ratings.

  4. 04

    Calls to action & sales channels

    Call centers, websites, Amazon, Walmart. We set up every way a viewer can buy, including in-house or white-label phone teams.

  5. 05

    Digital-assisted conversion

    Digital campaigns that pick viewers up after the spot airs, so more of them buy and each order costs less.

  6. 06

    Customer lifetime value

    Subscriptions, retention and bigger first orders, planned before the first spot runs. That’s where the profit is.

Our approach

From the first impression to the repeat purchase.

Every campaign is built around four steps. We track each one.

  1. Impression

    The spot airs. It has a few seconds to get a viewer over 60 to stop and listen.

  2. Response

    They call, go online, or look it up on Amazon or Walmart.

  3. Order

    Trained phone reps and a simple checkout close the sale. Better close rates mean cheaper orders.

  4. Revenue

    Subscriptions, retention and save-the-sale calls keep customers ordering month after month.

Results

Measured in orders, not impressions.

You get a daily dashboard with the numbers that pay the bills: orders, cost per order, lifetime value.

Regulatory review

Claims that clear stations. And scrutiny.

Supplement ads attract FTC letters, FDA warnings and class-action lawyers. So nothing airs until our legal partners, who specialize in nutraceuticals, have reviewed it.

  • FDA market notifications
  • Supplement facts panels
