The second part consists of best practice examples of various aspects of IDM. The third part contains a summary of a proprietary consumer study on direct marketing attitudes and affinities across 24 countries in North America, Europe and Asia.

Direct Marketing has now come of age...internationally. The authors define, illustrate and demonstrate that direct marketing can play on a level field with other forms of international and global marketing communication. Packed with relevant examples and illustrated with individual market data, this text is a "must have" for every CMO focused in growing the business outside the home market.

Don E. Schultz, Professor of Integrated Marketing Communication, Northwestern University

Every marketer intending to cross borders or expand globally should have this book, even if you are already an "old hand" at entering new markets. Astute cultural notes, pertinent and contemporary case studies and solid statistics for individual countries combine to make this an invaluable resource that is truly without precedent.
