- Terminology. Direct marketing is a trillion-dollar industry and a marketing discipline that produces the bottom-line results most companies want to achieve. Many businesses are becoming more aware of the potential direct marketing offers, and as new technologies and opportunities emerge, more marketers are including this discipline in their marketing mix. (From 'The Complete Guide to Direct Marketing: Creating Breakthrough Programs That Really Work' by Chet Meisner).
- Description. Business-to-business marketing is the fastest growing segment of direct marketing and online commerce. This practical yet forward-thinking blueprint for success goes a step further than other Internet marketing books by focusing on how to enhance the business-to-business segment of direct marketing through the Internet. Internet marketers will learn proven strategies for increasing profits such as generating leads with e-mail, using Internet events for marketing, and building customer relationships. This new edition has been updated with the latest case studies, Web site references, and Internet use statistics. (From 'Business To Business Internet Marketing: Seven Proven Strategies for Increasing Profits Through Internet Direct Marketing' by Barry Silverstein).
- Authors. Edward L. Nash heads up Team Nash Inc., direct marketing consulting and creative firm based in New York City handling Internet, direct marketing and database clients in the U.S. and five other countries.

PS. Consider also the opportunity of searching for the web location of the authors, usually a personal or corporate site, and the possibility to contact them via email... - Details. Marketers do not usually develop products and other marketing mix strategies in the absence of strategic planning. Occasionally someone has a great idea at the right time and gets lucky, but usually marketing success requires homework before investment. There are lots of questions about how to use the Internet and other electronic technologies to increase business profitability. Many e-commerce firms are growing wildly and a few are profitable, but others are still dedicating huge amounts of money in hope of future profits. Innovative new services on the Web are attracting very large audiences, but most are not yet profitable. Chapter 1 begins an exploration of e-marketing strategies by outlining many new e-business rules and by introducing lots of new terminology defining and putting it in context. Also in this chapter are explanations of current business models on which firms are banking to provide customer value and thus increase profits now and down the road. (source: 'E-Marketing (4th edition)' by Judy Strauss, Adel I. En-Ansary, Raymond D. Frost).

III. Listmania! Get up, come on, let's cruise the Net back to DMLR Club, the real key-word of this issue... The hard-core marketer will be able to get satisfaction from each item displayed there by visiting the section titled Listmania! Through the gates of Listmania! you will access very wider contents starting from a topic well defined by the item you are visiting, as you are spinning a sticky web around what you are searching for. For example, one visitor coming to the book 'The New Direct Marketing (3rd edition)' is already made aware of what this title can offer to him as it 'shows you how to combine database technology with innovative direct marketing methods to first identify, and then profit from your customers' all-important needs, desires, likes, and dislikes'. But this new exploration/exhibition is not ended here, on the contrary there is a good reason to continue because, thanks to Listmania!, you will discover the Basic Direct Marketing Library or such Similar Items as 'Successful Direct Marketing Methods' by Bob Stone. Incidentally, I should invite to start your direct marketing experience just from Bob Stone's book because it's a stonehenge in DM! Too much power by Listmania? At DMLR Club you gonna get satisfied real soon...
IV. Revenge. TOP4 is a selection of websites and a marketing review by a critique stand. The first series covered the period from 1999 to 2002, and for your knowledge you may visit the complete archive here. But ultimately --say the brand new series-- Top4 has a thing about ranking websites... In order to make order onto the recent sequel of six magazines released by DMLR and get all Top4 needed numbers, I would like to put you all wise to the contents of the new chapters in order to appearance at www.dmlr.org:
V. Direct Marketing. The DIRECT MARKETING glossary is available on DMLR in a 3-document edition (PDF) you can browse here or easily download onto your desktop. It consists of 19 pages as a whole, 311 paragraphs/terms, 236 Kb, 7450 words, 44772 types! Select and print the three parts of the glossary in English from PDF::Menu. Sure the Internet has been changing the traditional snail-mail based direct marketing. And yet the Internet marketing is a consequence of the old direct marketing somehow. Many terms you'll find inside the DM glossary are suiting for the e-mail marketing too... What you don't find on the glossary are such Internet born terms as 'Guestbook', strictly related to the new medium... Well, 'guestbook' is a forum for your site visitors to leave you ideas, viewpoints, or just praise. For more suggestions on this Website feature visit TheGuestbook.com!
VI. Linked Resources. On the Internet, e-mail discussion lists help build relationship and meet people within an industry. The most important Italian list looking after the Web marketing is for sure Mlist at www.mlist.it. 6,000 list members, many savvy-Internet regular partecipants, and 1,000 business cards promoting Italian websites are the figures making of Mlist a prime network for marketers willing to get indirect promotion to their products and services. Mlist has been mantaining over the years a good reputation thanks to the high level of the discussion contents and a constant presence of the list moderator, Internet expert Elena Antognazza. What are the topics discussed by partecipants to Mlist during the latest weeks? Blog and journalism, email/CRM software, SEO, online payment systems, keyword ranking, virtual economy.
