Introduction
The interactive potential of direct marketing is directly related to the evolution of communication technologies and information processing. Direct marketing is related to interactive media and they are inseparable from each other.
The term "interactive" implies that there is a direct relationship between the issuer and its recipient.
Drawing from this understanding of the concept we will study the interactive media that are used by companies. We will also look at their evolution and the rise of new interactive media that have emerged.
I. Evolution of direct interactive media marketing
There are several interactive direct marketing methods. A major reason for this is that issuers seek to reach the widest possible target audience. This demand created a significant amount of supporting media to enable direct marketing.
These include:
-Phones, (the phone is used both, as a medium to call clients to make a sale) and to take orders, customer follow-up within a call center etc. This medium reaches a large part of the population as phones have now become an essential part of every household.
- Facsimile or fax machines which are primarily used in industries for companies to communicate with each other. Unlike the telephone, the fax receives information in a print format so we can keep track of the exchanges that have been made.
- Telematics or Minitel, was widely used during the 80s but it has now become rather obsolete. It has been side-lined by the development of new computer technology.
- Post or snail mail, marketing messages are sent through the post office and are widely used due to the good results they have received (about 90%).Despite this, there are constraints on this method, the main drawback being its cost, which is relatively high (about 10 times higher than email). [1]
