Face-to-face marketing is a customer acquisition method in which trained Brand Ambassadors speak directly with potential customers or donors in person — at their home, at an event, or in a public location. It allows organisations to explain their product or cause clearly, handle questions in real time, and secure sign-ups or commitments on the spot. 

Yes. Face-to-face marketing remains one of the most effective acquisition channels available, particularly for products and causes that require explanation or a degree of trust before a commitment is made. Research shows that 56% of customers prefer to make a purchase decision after a face-to-face interaction. It also drives a measurable halo effect — our data shows a 17% average uplift in online sign-ups in areas visited by our teams. 

Digital marketing reaches large audiences through online channels — social media, search, email, and display advertising. Face-to-face marketing involves direct, one-to-one interaction between a Brand Ambassador and a potential customer or donor. The two approaches work best together: digital builds awareness at scale, while face-to-face converts the people digital can’t reach or persuade. 

Door-to-door marketing is a form of face-to-face acquisition where Brand Ambassadors visit residential or commercial addresses to introduce a product, service, or charitable cause. It is particularly effective for offers that benefit from a personal conversation — such as energy switching, subscription services, and regular charity giving. 

Face-to-face campaigns amplify your digital activity in two ways. First, they directly convert customers and donors who haven’t engaged with you online. Second, they generate a ‘halo effect’ — our data shows that areas visited by our Brand Ambassadors see a 17% average increase in online sign-ups. Your field campaign makes your entire marketing mix more effective.
