Direct Marketing:

Marketing to consumers directly rather than using retailers or other third parties to promote your products or services. It requires you to have direct contact and communication with each of your customers.

Targeting is one of the biggest strengths of direct marketing. It allows you to tailor each message you send out to a specific target audience. This way, you can focus your energy on the consumers who are most likely to respond positively to your efforts.

Some examples of direct marketing include:

  • Brochures
  • Direct Mail
  • Email Marketing
  • Flyers
  • Telemarketing
  • Text Message Marketing

Direct marketing ensures you are reaching your target audience with the intended message. Using direct marketing also allows you to build a relationship with each new customer. However, the costs of direct marketing can add up quickly, so you want to make sure the potential ROI outweighs the risk of losing resources.
