Telemarketing is specifically about marketing via phone calls. The phrase you want is "online marketing", although that is a bit longer. Almost all of the discussion in the comments thread here is about phone calls.
- anonymfus 8y agoSo is Wikipedia's definition "Telemarketing is defined as contacting, qualifying, and canvassing prospective customers using telecommunications devices such as telephone, fax, and internet" wrong? Or is it just misleadingly general?
- daveFNbuck 8y agoYeah, that definition is wrong, as evidenced by the confusion in this comment thread. I can't find a dictionary definition that matches what Wikipedia says. Every dictionary I checked [1] [2] [3] [4] specifies that telemarketing is marketing via the phone. Telemarketing is telephone marketing.
