DIRECT BRIEF: Carat report
Carat has revealed that direct marketers can reach their audiences more effectively by targeting them on the basis of their lifestyle choices and attitudes rather than through traditional demographics. The agency's 'Changing Face of Direct Mail' report claims that direct mail must be re-evaluated by marketers and used as "much more than a response-generating medium". It added that DM can be highly effective "at raising awareness and communicating brand identity and product information".
