Direct marketing is a sub-discipline and type of marketing. There are two main definitional characteristics which distinguish it from other types of marketing. The first is that it attempts to send its messages directly to consumers, without the use of intervening media. This involves commercial communication (direct mail, e-mail, telemarketing) with consumers or businesses, usually unsolicited. The second characteristic is that it is focused on driving a specific "call-to-action." This aspect of direct marketing involves an emphasis on trackable, measurable positive (but not negative) responses from consumers (known simply as "response" in the industry) regardless of medium. If the advertisement asks the prospect to take a specific action, for instance call a free phone number or visit a website, then the effort is considered to be direct response advertising.

Q. My boss has just assigned this task to me and I have now idea where to look or even what to look for. -Thanks Asked by nody04 - Thu Sep 17 13:13:02 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. If your just looking for a company to produce the mailings for you, just about any local printer can accomodate you. If you are looking for assistance in crafting the mail campaign, you want to look at a marketing company. I get excited when people choose to use direct mail, because I am convinced it is one of the most powerful marketing mechanisms in existence. To be successful at it though, you've got to do your homework on what makes direct mail successful. I see too many businesses make attempts, doing as much of it themselves to save a penny, and they largely fail simply because they don't know what they are doing...then they blame "direct mail". I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. dhpeck@myezprinter.com Answered by Doran P - Thu Sep 17 15:29:00 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Direct Marketing"
