Accounting and marketing are synergetic — they can feed off each other very nicely. The form of marketing most accounting people feel at home with is direct marketing. This is a very responsible type of marketing, where numbers and applied statistics rule . Sampling techniques, for instance, are the key to testing new concepts in direct marketing. Database marketing, a major part of direct marketing, is a numbers-crunching process.
Your accounting experience would be invaluable in direct marketing.
You might want to look at a free source of ideas in direct marketing to see what floats your boat in this field. The Direct Marketing Creative Generator at http://www.word-jobber.blogspot.com comes up with new ideas every Monday. And the enthusiasm is contageous.
