What do you like about this subject?

The best thing in my mind about direct marketing is its accountability. You can measure results, quantify information. Other forms of advertsing allow too much 'interpretation' of data.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

There's always something new to learn so I hope to always be a student of something interesting!

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Ultimately, the best, most effective marketing is one that zeroes in the right prospect with the right offer with the right product/service at the right time. Best part? It doesn't have to be fancy to be effective.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Everyone likes getting mail. No one likes an empty mailbox. And boxes will get almost a 100% open rate.
