Interactive Marketing is a one-to-one marketing process wherein the marketer communicates messages based on the actions, queries, as well as doubts of individual customers and prospects. The method is more effective than direct marketing. Unlike traditional marketing strategies, the Interactive marketing is triggered primarily by the customer’s queries, behavior or his preferences.
