Double TV Ad Response Rates With Whisp

Relying on a single response channel, like 800#s, limits your ability to fully engage with your audience. By depending solely on phone calls to measure success, you’re missing out on a large portion of viewers who prefer quicker, more convenient interactions. That’s where Whisp’s patented two-way SMS QR code technology comes in, offering an effortless, low-barrier alternative for engagement. This new channel allows you to capture mobile-first, convenience-driven viewers who prefer fast, anonymous interactions over the commitment of a phone call.

Unlike standard QR codes, Whisp transforms every scan into a personalized, ongoing conversation via SMS, enabling real-time engagement and data capture. This innovation not only boosts audience interaction but can also double your response rates, leading to better performance and a higher ROI for your campaigns.

By integrating Whisp’s QR technology into your TV spots — whether your call to action includes an 800#, a URL, or both — you’re providing your audience with multiple ways to engage, leading to more leads, higher engagement, and improved ROI.
