What is Direct Marketing ???
Direct marketing is just what it sounds like - directly reaching a market (customers and potential customers) on a personal (phone calls, private mailings) basis, or mass-media basis (infomercials, magazine ads, etc.)
A key factor in direct marketing is a "call to action." That is, direct marketing campaigns should offer an incentive or
enticing message to get consumers to respond (act).
Mr. Lester Wunderman says:
“Direct marketing is a channel-agnostic form of advertising that allows businesses and nonprofits to communicate straight to the customer, with advertising techniques such as mobile messaging, email, interactive consumer websites, online display ads, fliers, catalog distribution, promotional letters etc

Direct Marketing’s Special
Competencies ???
☺ Precession Targeting Through the usage of carefully selected mailing lists, and the information contained in customer data bases, the direct marketeers can direct communications to individual or a specific business customers who has been identified as a viable prospect. This reduces the waste inherent in many other types of communications that cannot be so precisely targeted.
☺ Personalization The individual consumers can be and often should be addressed by
name and business customers can be addressed by name and titles. Information from the databases can be used to select an appropriate appeal or to encourage additional purchases from a customer who have purchased previously.
☺ Call for Immediate Action Direct Marketing calls for specific and immediate action, typically the purchase of a product or a request for more information about it. This call for immediate action works against the prospect’s normal tendency to defer action, often permanently. “Limited time offer” “ Will not be repeated” and “Your Prompt Reply is Requested” are frequently used exhortations.
☺ Measurability The most important advantage that direct marketing has over other
marketing techniques is its ability to track, and to measure the effectiveness of specific marketing actions. By knowing precisely what worked and what did not, the marketeers can allocate the marketing budgets much more effectively.
☺ Invisible Strategies ☺ Direct Marketing is Interactive; It initiates a two way process
“Customer Vs Marketing Team”
☺ It removes the "middle man" from the promotion process
☺ The strategies and tactics of direct marketeers are less visible to competitors than are strategies that must be implemented in the mass media
☺ Customer Services An emphasis on customer services, including order fulfillment functions, is important as a mechanism for encouraging regular interactions between the direct marketer and the customer. A popular idea now in direct marketing called relationship marketing places an emphasis on building long term relationships with the customers
