Direct marketing is a type of advertising campaign that seeks to elicit
an action (such as an order, a visit to a
store or Web site, or a request for further information) from a selected
group of consumers in response to a
communication from the marketer.
The communication itself may be in any of a variety of formats
including postal mail, telemarketing, direct e-mail marketing and point-of-sale
interactions.
The main difference between direct marketing and
other promotion is that you can closely qualify your audience to deliver
a message that appeal to their specific
needs. Direct marketing can be powerful yet can have a negative
effect if not done properly. Our direct marketing professionals
are experts in effectively integrating direct marketing into the communications
mix. We have launched successful campaigns to customer,
professional and business targets. We recognize the importance
of designing each direct marketing initiative to maximize
long-term performance of the selected database.
We know that targeting and list
selection are the most critical steps in a successful direct marketing
program. Our creative staff
is familiar with the distinction between copy and layout for direct
marketing vs. image advertising. Moreover, we manage all varieties
of fulfillment and database support.
