Value Direct Communication: Revamping Marketer's Perceptions through Novel Lead Generation Paradigms


Much ahead of time, Value Direct realized the necessity of infusing ‘performance marketing’ via Social Media as a key business metric. While this raised many eye brows amongst the competitors who were till then playing safe with 'vanity metrics', it undoubtedly has huge acceptance amongst the brands who had fallen a prey to demand generators’'safe' branding model with no commitment on numbers and burning a significant chunk of money on digital marketing platforms without any tangible results. Value Direct didn’t shy away from absorbing the risks for businesses in return for ‘concrete results’. The company that’s operational since 7-years broke the stereotypes and offered a brand-new perspective to social media marketing. They made businesses believe that Social Media can indeed offer to get them NEW CUSTOMERS! With this strong belief and risk-taking attitude, Value Direct, under the guidance of Cult thought leader Haresh Ramchandani (CEO), has successfully helped more than 100 brands to acquire new customers.
In other words, "Want New Customers?" "Go to Value Direct and achieve it with supreme value for your money". Breathing quality &credibility, it is one of the first companies in India to on board performance marketing model through three major platforms – Social Media, Email & Mobile.
The Secret R&D Lab for Intelligent Campaigners
We spoke about Value Direct's propaganda on performance marketing that the company works on number commitments with all their clients and that’s what the clients love about them. How do they make this happen? Well, Value Direct is comprised of 70 people strong humble workforce that has innovation in its DNA. This young, peppy and crazy work-force puts a lot of intelligence to make any campaign work. Their Secret Laboratory, headed by Haresh, has a repository of past success stories. They churn out the best formula for their clients with a gamut of ingredients like – past observation, relevant database, content & creatives, optimization strategies, and others. Their main objective is to break the clutter and get the ads seen by the target audience. This objective is pretty much achieved with suave contents and creatives that company comes up with. Haresh emphasized on ‘attention economics’ influenced by Social scientist Herbert Simon. He quoted, “The target audience is overwhelmed by all the noise created by brands on social media platforms, hence, we diligently research on how we break through the clutter and stand-out from the crowd”.
Target Marketing: Leveraging on Home Grown Database
The company sticks to its go to motto, ‘Not Everyone is Your Customer’. To achieve the best results, you have to zero in on your target audience. And the company successfully slays this by leveraging on its exclusive database. With access to a highly sophisticated home-grown database of 52 million numbers, cutting across every industry vertical, reaching every segment, one will easily find his/her target audience in the catalog for sure. The database segments across distinctive audience such as IT Professionals, Car Owners, Pizza Eaters, Frequent Flyers, Online Gamers, Online Shoppers, CXOs, NRIs among numerous others. And the company is well aware of this treasure, adds Haresh,“Our in-house Database Management systems,carefully segregates the target audience, who have higher propensity to buy our clients'products/services. It’s not a mundane Spray & Pray technique which some agencies apply in their campaigns.
The BIG Impact-Value Direct
Value Direct has made a huge impact in its client business ranging from Insurance,
Healthcare, Banking, Financial Services, NGO, Education, et al. The company has been leading the digital change with its novel performance driven solutions, which they kind of boast themselves of to excel in it. And yes their results concur this. Haresh quotes,"Gone are the days when marketers relied on branding for boosting their revenue, the inclination now is solely on performance and that’s what we offer".
It’s just not this, but the expertise that stems from years of research and execution it brings to the table that makes the difference. With a highly efficient team, Value Direct delivers its clients performance driven and result oriented solutions with its customer acquisition models.

Value Direct has thrived by leaps & bounds in the past couple of years in terms of business revenue and remains as the organically number #1 lead generation company in India on Google.

The company was honoured as the “Top 20 Marketing Technology Solution Providers in India” by CIO Review. Haresh adds, “As a company, we constantly innovate for our customers, keeping ROI as a top priority. We are in midst of launching some amazing solutions in next 12-24 months & we are working hard and are very excited about the future”.
