modification in such a way that this behavior can be tracked, recorded, analyzed, and stored on a database for future
retrieval and use.” Direct marketing is a sub-discipline and type of marketing. There are two main definitional
characteristics which distinguish it from other types of marketing. The first is that it attempts to send its messages directly

KIOSK MARKETING:
Kiosk-a small, temporary, stand-alone both used in high foot traffic areas for marketing purposes.
A kiosk will usually be manned by one or two individuals who help attract attention to the booth get new customers.
The name describes new stands, refreshment stands, and freestanding cart whose vendors sell many items.
vivo is organizing kiosk marketing in front of different mobile outlets every day in different locations of
Bhubaneswar.
Attracted a lot of people who came in and stopped by the kiosk and got information about the vivo smart phone.
vivo is also targeting the college youth as it organized a kiosk marketing in colleges.
Organized kiosk marketing campaign in BIITM which is one of the best MBA College in Bhubaneswar.
The objective of this is to create awareness of the product and to increase sales.
And I was the part of this kiosk marketing and we succeed in it.
Catalog marketing:
In this type of marketing seller prepare catalogues of merchandise or products and sells directly to customers.
Catalogues are generally in printed form but can also be distributed in the form of CDs.
To reduce printing and distribution cost catalogues are being increasingly made on line.
Products of same company which are different may be combined in one catalog to grab attention of all category
customers.
As in above catalogue of vivo we can see that it has information of different phones of vivo.
By the help of this it became easy to grab the all category people where they can find there smart phone and its
details.

infomercial.
