Direct marketing

Direct marketing is a type of advertising that up sends a message directly to potential customers. It can be used to promote products and services, and it can be done through mail, email, text messages, phone calls, and even social media. With direct marketing, businesses can target specific people and give them more information about their offers. For example, if a store wants to send out information about a sale, they will send the information directly to people who have shopped there before. They might even send out special offers to those customers.
