RE: UKNM: Institute of Direct Marketing UKNM Digest V1 #660

[Sarah Clelland]

Oh come on Sarah - what textbook are you using?

Mine's got 656 pages and the whole of page 361, as well as a few lines

on page 362 I might add, is totally dedicated to New Media.

What more do you want? Honestly.


On a serious note, what I find really irritating is that the CIM has

the nerve to insist that you buy a new textbook ("well, you *could* borrow

your friend's copy from last year, but frankly if you want to pass you

will need to fork out �20+ for the latest version") but then fails to

update either the bloody book or their syllabus with anything about

on-line marketing.


I don't feel like a pariah though. I feel like Galileo - it's round I

tell you, round!!

this is a relief to hear, since I'm dismayed that the Chartered Institute of

Marketing are in denial.  Net marketing doen't seem to be addressed at all

in the syllabus for even their most advanced course.  The PostGrad Diploma

set text, for Integrated Marketing Communications, has not a mention of the

internet, let alone e-mail for marketing.  How long will it take them to

catch up, d'you reckon? As a web-marketing bod and CIM student, I feel like

a pariah.

Thanks for your comments.


I Hope you didn't think I had a humour by-pass, I simply meant that in

additon to the general joviliaty of the cyberchat there is useful comment

and advise coming through as well.


Further, the IDM from the outset have recognised the power of the new media

and embraced it whole heartedly.  The problem, to an extent,  has been

convincing certain factions of the direct marketing community themselves

that:


(a) the internet will re-invent marketing - both on and off line

(b) the IDM are delivering courses and services to guide direct marketing

and other business professionals to understand how


Perhaps the other professional associations representing the industries you

mentioned have suffered the same.
