Any type of communication to persons or individuals by the retailer or companies can be called individual marketing. It is sometimes customized according to an individual or specific customers.

Individual marketing’s most popular example is internet marketing. Different brands have opened numerous websites and portals for their services and products. The sites display sketchy or detailed relevant information. A purchaser viewing these sites can have a feeling that the information is for her/his convenience. This type of marketing is quite popular among shoppers who buy from different sites because it saves time and is a personalized shopping.
