Direct marketing, also known as direct response marketing, is a form of marketing that relies on direct communication or distribution to individual consumers and serves to eliminate the mass advertising media party. Direct marketers deploy a marketing strategy with the goal of obtaining an immediate response from the consumer to quickly generate a new sale or lead. Direct response is much different from other marketing strategies with more long-term goals, such as branding.
The advantages and disadvantages of direct response
Direct marketers will deem their efforts a success when a successful call to action has been achieved and will assign a value for this completion. This completion is known as Cost Per Action (CPA).
Direct marketing is one of the most popular and effective marketing tactics used today. Some of the benefits include:
• More affordable for advertisers with smaller budgets who can't afford television, radio, or internet advertising campaigns.
• Social media has become a very effective outlet to market to consumers.
• Metrics are much easier to measure with the use of tracking platforms and analytics tools.
One of the main disadvantages of social media is that, oftentimes, advertisers may end up working with third parties whose interests are not equally aligned. More clearly, advertisers may pay a commission for each successful lead with the hopes of converting that lead later on. If the publisher is only after the commission, they may not be sending the best quality leads to the advertiser, creating a win-lose situation. This is why it is so important to work with the right direct marketing partners. Some of the world's largest companies, such as Amazon and Walmart, rely heavily on direct marketing for their success.

Due to the nature of direct response, it is much easier to track metrics such as Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), Cost per Acquisition (CPA), Return on Investment (ROI), etc. Direct marketing almost always relies on a Call to Action (CTA). This CTA is where all of the direct response efforts eventually end up, and the result is either a conversion, partial conversion, or nothing.
