What is Interruption Marketing?

Marketing that interrupts what you are doing.It is kind of an annoying stuff that nobody really wants to see.
It is a push marketing method where somebody puts something on you without your permission to get your attention anyhow.
The purpose of interruption marketing is, try to communicate some message when and where possible. This means the message must be short and to the point. It should be attractive enough to get busy people stop for a while and make sense.

Examples for Interruption Marketing

TV advertisements that put while watching a movie or teledrama
Radio advertisements
Videos that automatically starts when you go to a new website
Flashy banners
E-mail marketing

Although the interruption marketing interrupts, there is a possibility that interruption marketing gets positive results. If your message can attract the person who is receiving it at a glance he would prefer searching more, read the whole content and would like to learn more regarding that. At least you can make people aware of your existence expecting that in some future day they will refer it or share it with someone who has the need.

In interruption marketing concept, no matter how powerful the media is, it is the message that ensures your success.


What is Permission Marketing?

Permission marketing is an approach to selling goods and services in which a prospect explicitly agrees in advance to receive marketing information.
Eg;- websites

 It is an effective method of communication because the prospect is more receptive to a message that has been requested in advance. And it is more cost efficient because the prospect is already identified and targeted.

Here, consumers empower marketers to send them promotional messages in certain interest categories. This can help marketers to address each individual customer separately. the aim is to customize the marketing mix in accordance with the needs of the customer and build long term relationships with the customer.The emphasis is more on retaining the existing customers rather than on obtaining new ones.
Another advantage of permission marketing is, marketers get an audience interested in their message and customer gets fewer messages and only the ones that they are interested in receiving. In a world of information overload, automated telemarketing and spam, most people would welcome the idea of permission marketing instead of interruption marketing.
