The broad scope of direct marketing makes it easy to miss or misunderstand some of its basic principles. DM expert Ruth Stevens covers the elements that every marketing professional needs to know, from the characteristics that define the scope of direct marketing, to the strategies and tactics that can make or break a DM campaign.

You’ll gain a clear understanding of the language of direct marketing. And you’ll learn from actual case studies and successful examples that you can translate to your own marketing programs.
