... the Cambridge Dictionaries
Online, a reference
available in the .network library,
indicates that a personal touch is something done which
singles out as a person as special; therefore, an effort
to persuade someone, using a personal touch, that
an idea, plan, service or product is worth consideration
is personal selling. To quote the reference exactly
a personal
touch is ... something
that is done for every single person in a group in order
to make them feel special. That being the case,
personal selling as a marketing platform is something
which is done directly and at some point is intended
to trigger or involve networking.
A good example to go along with this definition would
be the person who moves throughout the group at
a business networking event, singling
out prospects with
whom he or she attempts to build or maintain relationships.
The business
card offering contact
data is universally accepted as the
primary tool of those who do personal selling. Personal
selling requires followup.
... an effort to bring a product, service
or other entity to the attention of an individual or group;
likewise, it is an effort to maintain recognition and
acceptance. Publicity is tied to promotion. Promotion involves
advertising
... information which is disseminated
to gain public interest. It generally has advertising value
when strategically distributed through various media to
attract notice to a product or service. A place seeking
economic development and having limited funds for advertising
can benefit from strategically disseminating publicity
to draw attention to its location. The first two paragraphs
of Priorities
for Places Seeking Economic Development suggests
where a publicity strategy can play a key roll in gaining
success. Publicity can be aimed at a target audience, for
example, it is suggested in the previously mentioned resource
that a local economic development organization disseminate
information to educators, teachers and trainers about
its programs and achievements that sustain the vitality
of the community(s) it represents.

Links to marketing information: advertising and promotion: ... marketing efforts generally considered to be indirect and exposure sensitive with results best measured by followup. For the purpose of defining the two efforts together it should be pointed out that advertising is relegated to media that offers a strategically longer term exposure than that of promotion. It can be said that advertising is something that waits to be discovered, such as an ad in a magazine; whereas, promotion makes something overtly available. In either case, aggressive, smart, cost-effective marketing is directed towards a target audience and has a serious follow up component. The exception to the emphasis on followup is when a marketing effort is broadcast for building recognition or branding.
