Is Direct Marketing Right For You?

Last Tuesday I received a sms from my son’s school. It caught me by surprised because the school had closed for the vacations.

‘What could they possibly want, now?’ I thought.

The school was calling for a special meeting with parents to decide on the new school bus service.

The meeting was on a Sunday so I went. When I reached the school, there were a few hundred parents already assembled there. I learned that all of them had received a similar sms.

I went to a large craft store lately. Every time I go there, they give me a 20% off discount coupon that is good for one week only. You cannot use the coupon on the same day either. I do not see this type of discount coupon programs too often, but it takes me back to the store, even if I do not have any specific I need. It is almost the holiday season, I can always find something from the craft store that I might need in the near future. The 20% off gives me an extra incentive to go back.

I was reading a Chinese magazine the other day. In the magazine, there is an ad showing a good looking, muscular top less guy holding a bowl of rice. A BOWL OF RICE! I immediate turn to my friend and show that ad to them. They are selling sex appeal on a rice ad. Rice in Asia is like bread or potato in the US, nothing really sexy about it. But the advertiser trying to get you to think… eating their rice is sexy and healthy. It helps you to build a lean and muscular body, and of course, attract opposite sex.

Email marketing is become more and more popular. Not only online businesses are using email marketing, offline small businesses are using it as well.

I went to a pharmacy a couple of days ago, they asked me if I want to give them my email address so they can send me coupons when I check out at the cash register. I did.

Many people might worry about getting spam and they don’t want to give you their email addresses, but if you give them some benefits, they might give you their email addresses.
