Citipeak Promotions Ltd Argue Advantages of Direct Marketing vs. Traditional Advertising

As Royal Mail launches its first major TV campaign in six years, Managing Director of Citipeak Promotions Ltd highlights why direct marketing is more effective that TV advertising and why brands that have taken the direct marketing route are more successful than those that have not.

On Saturday the 2nd November, Royal Mail launched its first major TV advertising campaign in six years. This comes just weeks after the postal service was privatised by the Government and as the service gears up for the busy festive parcel delivery season.

Advertising is a single component of the marketing process. In general, the goal of advertising is to increase brand awareness along with creating an emotional connection to the potential buyer. Whereas direct marketing is designed to get the customer to move towards the completion of a transaction, advertising targets the customer to feel something about a product or service. In direct marketing you want the customer to actually do something regarding the product or service. Because of this, direct marketing is a sales strategy within an overall marketing toolbox and creates the momentum towards the transaction that is necessary to generate more revenue.
