for all participating parties.
For the first time in the history of commercial communication, participating parties can expect to benefit from appearing in interactive communications “Events”.
For communication to be successful mutual self- interest has to be satisfied.
The need for product information.
Communication results from an interaction in which two parties expect to give and take. Audience members must be able to give feedback. Media practitioners and their Clients must be sensitive to the information contained in the feedback. This give and take can result on real understanding or real feedback.
1. The Consumers need for Interactive Communication.
People desire to be taken account of, to affect change, learn and personalise their relationships with their environment. There are a phenomenal number of reasons, which cause people to interact, which go far beyond just giving them things.
When people participate in interactive marketing communication they are told that their efforts and feedback are of positive help to the advertisers. Moreover, by participating, they then learn and understand the message from the advertiser, personalise their relationship with the advertiser and their products (or services).
2. The benefits for participating advertisers.
For the first time manufacturers advertising becomes totally accountable with payment by results only. Interactive communication provides intelligent sales through feedback and involvement. Thus allowing the building of intelligent databanks.
It allows the brands to differentiate themselves from their competition. Substantially reduce their heavy marketing investments. Additional benefits will allow the analysis of the feedback through a mass focus group allowing brand development. Whatever the consumer & manufacturer deem appropriate.

There is a substantial increase in the reading/viewing figures and it readily counters zapping.
It also allows the medium to provide evidence as to the effectiveness of the medium in terms of sales, awareness. message comprehension thus proving that TV advertising is effective (as well as magazine advertising).

Forget Enron…The biggest scam is still to be exposed!
As you will already have ascertained, it is our view that current, conventional advertising has been beset with problems from the very beginnings. Probably the principal problem advertising has is …accountability. Or rather the lack of it!
As we have said before, the real differences that exist between competing products is frequently perceived as no longer significant.
The result is that it is not self evident just what an advertiser has to sell that is so different and worthy of consideration.
Therefore, if no significant point of difference is apparent, why is that product more deserving of the customer’s money than any other?
It was partially because of this that we have seen a dramatic rise in the acceptance of own-label products and now services, in this country as elsewhere.
When you use interactive communication your problems are immediately solved!
