Great comments, thank you. Jim, I like the analogy to direct response--I'll use that. Getting to "do" is a key step along the way to getting to "buy". Regarding Alan's question... not a lot of ads get the benefit of pre-testing, but one idea I've had is to have friends watch ads together and see which ads (or better, which brands) they talk about.
