Advantages of personal selling
• Detailed explanation or demonstration of the product
• Message can be varied according to motivations of each customer
• Can be directed only to qualified prospects • Costs can be controlled by adjusting the size
of the sales force in one-person increments • Is considerably more effective than other
forms of promotion in obtaining a sale and a satisfied customer
2. Direct marketing Companies reaching out to consumers directly, eliminating middlemen and paid media.
E.g. Woolworths’ smartphone app allows customers to scan grocery items in their own pantry, save shopping lists and nominate their favourite store. It also organises the shopping list by aisle and layout and saves favourites so the user never runs out again.
This is different from direct selling (e.g. Tupperware) and direct response marketing.
3. Advertising
Old Spice uses irreverence and humour to appeal to consumers. Such personality has won the company a huge fan base.
