Dear Party,
Here’s my answer.
1. Direct marketing is continuing to become more ________ oriented.
> online (email + web)
2. Which of the following is NOT a reason that direct-mail marketing drives approximately one third of all U.S. direct marketing sales?
a. less expensive than TV and magazine ads
> b. high target market selectivity
c. ability to be personalized
d. measurable results
e. flexibility
3. What characteristic of niche sites makes the medium MOST appealing to marketers?
> Responsiveness, because segmentation drives better results, significantly, but needs more work from marketers
4. Neal Murphy sells his company’s unique gift items on television programs broadcast on a channel that is entirely dedicated to selling goods and services. Neal is using ________.

5. ABC Company sells directly to final consumers and avoids intermediaries, while catering to a broad group of demographic segments. This marketer falls under which online marketing domain

> b. The company would have to redesign its products.
c. The company needs to counterattack international competitors in their home markets.
d. Foreign markets present higher profit opportunities.
e. Global competitors have offered similar products at lower prices.
RATIONALE: b) The company would have to redesign its products. Because it’s a cost (that could be significant) that the company has to pay upfront to enter the market. a) and d) are favorable reasons to enter international market. c) could be perceived as an hindrance to enter other national markets, but of a lesser extent because the company in its own country is probably already competing with those competitors, so doing the same outside its national market doesn’t really make any difference. e) is an stronger hindrance to entering other national markets, but not as much because products can be sold at slightly higher price since there’s always a place for better quality products. Anyways, the company will still have the choice to adjust its prices to match competition.
