Learning Team Assignment: Direct Marketing
Consider the different types of direct marketing:
- Mail order, such as catalogs or direct mail
- Telemarketing and direct-response advertising, including infomercials and home-shopping networks
- M-commerce, which is marketing directed at mobile communication devices, such as cell phones
- Digital marketing/social media, such as email, Twitter, and Facebook
Review the direct-marketing examples you have been collecting since Week 1.
Design a form of direct marketing for the retailer you selected in Week 3.
Answer the following questions in 700 to 1,050 words:
- With which types of the direct marketing you collected were you already familiar? Which types were new to you?
- Which forms of direct marketing captured your attention? Why?
- Which forms of direct marketing did not capture your attention? Why?
- What was the price of the product, and do you think the direct marketing selected was the best choice?
- How responsive are you to direct-marketing strategies? Why?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of direct marketing? What factors influenced the direct marketing you designed for your favorite retailer?
- Briefly list what strategic elements in brand building need to be considered in addition to direct marketing.
Alternate Assignment Option: Instead of the paper described above, your team can choose to develop an 8- to 16-slide PowerPoint® presentation covering the same material. Use speaker notes as a way to indicate what is spoken and to expand on the slide content your team creates. Notes should be notes, not a full script.
