Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, implement and evaluate direct response offers which match organisational business and marketing objectives and resolve marketing problems.
It applies to individuals working in a marketing assistant or account manager role who are required to design direct marketing offers for products or services. Such individuals may work in small, medium or large enterprises across a variety of industries; they usually work with a team and customers to design offers.
Direct response offers include payment related promises such as offers in relation to exchanging goods and services for money; terms of payment; performance and quality guarantees; delivery method; and time, place and method of order placement. Offers may also be made that do not involve payment matters, such as the offer of a free brochure or catalogue in return for providing a name and address.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
