Digital marketing is the fastest growing advertising media in the country
Today’s industry bears little resemblance to direct marketing of the past. Many advertising agencies have established direct response departments. Retailers are switching from other medias. Mail order sales are beginning to surpass store sales. Telemarketing revenues have set new growth records. Businesses selling to other businesses have found direct marketing as a major source of generating income.
Computer advances continue to revolutionize the direct marketing industry. Data bases are now more extensive and complex than ever before. New tools, such as E-Mail, Web Site Home Pages and interactive video are being developed while old tools are revitalized. Digital Marketing is the marketing medium of the future.
