Interactive marketing refers to marketing that focuses on conversation and interaction with customers rather than one-way transactions. It utilizes technologies like the internet to more easily collect customer information and communicate with customers. Interactive marketing differs from traditional marketing by using a "pull" strategy where customers have more power to select products rather than being "pushed" products. It also allows for more interaction with customers through reviews, blogs, and testimonials. Some next-generation interactive marketing strategies discussed for India include social marketing, viral/buzz marketing, mobile marketing, blue ocean strategy, green marketing, ambush marketing, and permission marketing. A key benefit of interactive marketing is its ability to more directly convert consumers to buyers through on-the-spot purchases.

2. INTERACTIVE MARKETING
Interactive Marketing refers to the evolving trend in
marketing whereby marketing has moved from a
transaction-based effort to a conversation .Interactive
marketing is not synonymous with online marketing,
although interactive marketing processes are
facilitated by internet technology.
The ability to remember what the customer has said is
made easier when we can collect customer
information online and we can communicate with our
customer more easily using the speed of the internet.

3. HOW INTERACTIVE MARKETING IS
DIFFERENT FROM TRADITIONAL
MARKETING
The field of marketing has undergone a sea change over the
years. From catchy radio jingles to creative television ads,
newspaper ads, pamphlets to newer techniques of blogging,
social media marketing etc, we have come a long way
The key difference between interactive marketing and
traditional marketing are as follows:
Push vs. pull marketing strategy: -Traditional marketing
strategies were based on a “push” methodology where
managers were literally pushing the products onto the
customers. On the other hand, interactive marketing acts on
“pull methodology, where the power of selection lies with the
customers.

5. In today’s world, the customer is king, and it is the
responsibility of the business owners to cater to the whims
and fancies of their clients. Interactive marketing is able to
handle this aspect better.
Rather than depending on surveys and sample data that was
used for creating traditional marketing strategy, an interactive
marketing strategy could be defined by keeping in mind real
time input from the clients. Spontaneous opinion of the users
could help in better formulation of marketing strategy. More
interaction with customers: – Before making a purchase,
today’s customers can get complete information about a
product from different blogs, client testimonials, and product
reviews thanks to interactive marketing
