Sales Strategy
DI creates a blitz that stems from press, commercials and media. We have created a buzz throughout the film and television communities nationally and internationally. Our marketing strategies are implemented in various phases as we gain greater exposure internationally. DI’s plans are insistent and the tactics effective creating saturated awareness for the community and studios. DI’s focus is to assist its distribution and to continue building its partnerships with outside film and television productions and to maximize all efforts needed for success.
The company's revenues are sensitive to the overall condition of the economic climate. Film and entertainment are luxury items, and in the event of an economic pullback, the Company may experience a decline in its top line income. However, the business's operations are scalable, and during times of economic recession, the Company will scale down production and still enjoy revenue generated from prior works.
