What is the main advantage of using personal selling in EcoTech's promotional strategy?

It helps in creating awareness on a large scale

It involves direct communication with potential customers to address their individual needs

It increases the amount of publicity for the brand

It offers discounts on products

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Personal selling is not ideal for large-scale awareness as it targets individual customers rather than mass audiences.

Option 2 -> Personal selling enables face-to-face interaction, allowing salespeople to understand and address specific customer concerns, provide customized solutions, and build relationships.

Option 3 -> Publicity is generated through public relations and media coverage, not through personal selling which focuses on direct customer interactions.

Option 4 -> Discounts are a sales promotion technique that can be used with any promotional method, not a specific advantage of personal selling.

Hence, Option 2 -> The main advantage of personal selling is direct communication with potential customers to address their individual needs. This allows EcoTech to provide personalized solutions, answer specific questions about their eco-friendly technology products, demonstrate complex features, and build strong customer relationships that lead to better conversion rates. -> correct
