ABSTRACT
This research study focused on the effect of direct marketing on the organizations performance. It aimed at highlighting how direct marketing campaigns enhance various marketing alternatives.0
The study also investigated attitudes and several behavioural differences both on the side of the marketing organization and its customers. Two hypotheses were tested about the effect of direct marketing on performance in a factorial experimental design involving one hundred (100) potential respondents from International Tools Limited and UBA Plc to determine and ascertain a comparative view on the research topic.
The result indicated a very high correlated relationship between the variables, hence ascertained that the rate of performance in both organizations depends on the direct marketing methods used. Tools used to ascertain this result includes statistical description methods such as frequencies, percentages, chi-square analysis. Further, the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) was used to ascertain the rate of relationship between the variables.
The study revealed that both organizations conduct continuous environmental scanning in order to fill the purse of their target customers and relate their findings to meaningful improvement to product quality. There is indeed a difference in the use of direct marketing according to the performance of the organization.
