Marketing Direct Articles

Marketing direct has its roots in 1867. To be specific, it began upon the invention of the typewriter, which enabled people to create and distribute roughly made versions of mail-order catalogues. Aaron Montgomery Ward created the first mail-order catalog in 1872. It was not until 1961, however, when marketing direct existed as a widely accepted concept. In a speech, the pioneer of direct marketing techniques Lester Wunderman, coined the term direct marketing. Today, the most prevalent form of direct marketing is junk mail, which includes catalogs, pre-approved applications for credit cards, free trial CDs, and other forms of product or service advertising - all of them unsolicited. Experts further refine junk mailing into targeted mailing. Targeted mailing involves the use of database analysis, wherein a software analyzes who are most likely to respond to an ad positively. Mail is then sent out to these targets. This section contains articles relating to marketing direct and the topics that are under its umbrella.

The world is flat. India is one of the fastest growing economies and SMS and SEO are the buzz words of the present moment. Content is king and the word "marketing" should be changed to what-the-heck-works-these-days-to-get-customers. As it relates to mortgage marketing and the industry, it's important to understand how to differentiate direct mail with direct marketing over the Internet (including internet leads and email marketing).
