Why is using email marketing services sometimes a better option than direct mail? There are many options available to the business or charitable organization that is in need of a way to better communicate with their target audience. Two of the most popular are email marketing and direct mail. While both have their pros and cons, email is often a better option than its traditional counterpart. This article will explain why by highlighting some of the advantages it has over direct mail. Cost Effectiveness One of the best qualities email marketing has going for it is its low cost.

Give impetus to Rural Telecom. By Abraham Paul, MD CEO Future Groups (India), FCOMNET (UAE) In spite of the few hiccups in the beginning, the privatization has pushed Telecom business in India making the services available and affordable to common man.

Bringing in the concept of Pan India Telecom with Unified Licensing was a positive step to correct few of these earlier wrong doings. But the present...
