Controversy
The para relating to telemarketing legislation would merit movement to a more focussed article. A mention of telemarketing as a point of contention should be enough. Sanjiv swarup (talk) 04:16, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Table of Contents
Table of contents is missing a link to the definition of direct marketing.

>> it is there on the first line of the article. YEt my vote is for you ot place it on the see also section Sanjiv swarup (talk) 11:15, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I missed that on first glance. Its possible that others may have missed that as well. Having the definition upfront rather than by pointing to a link is more user friendly in my opinion. I'm not suggesting getting rid of the link, rather, adding the definition of direct marketing to the DMA page.

I also think we should have a sub head of - 'The changing face of Direct marketing' where we could touch upon internet marketing, mobile marketing, search engine marketing, experiential marketing, multilevel marketing and viral marketing. here, the aforementioned concepts could be defined as well as supported with some facts and perhaps even some case studies with learnings.

India is one of the world's most sought after markets because of its sheer population size and the fact that it has the largest youth market as well as the largest middle class population in the world. That said, I think we should have an article on Direct Marketing in India.

Consumer opting out
I added the following to the Direct Marketing Association (USA) article, but I am concerned that the only reference is the DMAchoice.org web site.

The Direct Marketing Association provides a method for consumers to opt out of various kinds of direct marketing, including credit and insurance offers by mail, catalogs, magazines, and other direct mail offers.

* DMAchoice.org

Perhaps there are other sources. Perhaps this information can be shared elsewhere, too. --DThomsen8 (talk) 01:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
