When a buyer or a potential buyer is in direct contact with the sales person who is making an effort to sell a product or service, we consider this interaction to be direct advertising. This type of advertising has a number of benefits which I will highlight in this article.
One of the most important advantages is that the sales person is able to clarify any queries that the customer may have. This ensures immediate feedback regarding the product or service being offered. If the customer is dissatisfied, the salesman will instantly be able to gather this in the body language expressed by the customer or the verbal responses. Persuading a customer when in direct contact is easier than doing the same through an indirect method such as a billboard.
Most often than not this kind of personalized advertisement prompts an immediate sale once the customer has made queries and perhaps even tested a sample of the item. Sales are also easy to make as direct advertising can be implemented in such a way that only targeted customers are approached. For example, a vegetable farmer may approach a supermarket manager to propose the distribution of his products through the various branches that the supermarket has.
It is also easy to carry out statistics of how many people have been informed of the product or service being sold and what the impact of the advertisement is on the sales.
The direct contact between the sales person and the customer is likely to build a lasting business relationship as the two parties continue to communicate.
