A more elaborate definition is: Marketing Communication is targeted interaction with customers and prospects using one or more media, such as direct mail, newspapers and magazines, television, radio, billboards, telemarketing, and the Internet. Marketing communications is essentially a part of the marketing mix. The marketing mix defines the 4Ps of marketing, price, place, product and promotion, and Promotion is what marketing communications is all about. Subsisting within the marketing mix is another, the promotion mix which simply refers to the blend of advertising, selling, public relations and sales promotion. A commonality shared by all elements of the promotional mix is that their function is to communicate. Before a product is positioned in the mind of a buyer, awareness must first be created through the promotion mix to such extent that the buyer develops positive attitudes about the product or service and the selling firm that may result in a sale being made. From the marketing point of view, communication or the promotion mix can achieve the following functions: • INFORMATION: especially during the product’s introductory stage, when it is newly introduced into the market, and the company is trying to establish primary demand. • PERSUASION: once primary demand has been established, commercial communication can emphasize persuasion in the struggle for brand supremacy. Selective demand for the branded product of a seller may be built through brand names, emotional appeals, repetition, package identification and similar devices. This is done usually at the growth stage in a product life cycle. • COMBINED PROMOTIONAL INFORMATION AND PERSUASION: sellers combine information and persuasion in their promotion message, attempting to expand both primary and selective demands at the same time. This, usually occurs when the product is in the maturity or declining stages of their life cycle. (Stanley, 1977; Belch and Belch, 1986) 9 Download free eBooks at bookboon.com Marketing Communications Fundamentals Of Communication In Marketing There are three necessary elements for effective communication • SOURCE: such as an organization selling products • MESSAGE: such as information, signs and symbols • RECEIVER: such as consumers and the company’s publics All these three are established in marketing communication. Market communication, that is, messages flow between the firm which is its source and four main groups of receivers: 1. Consumers 2. Various sales supporting personnel such as wholesalers, retailers and other middlemen in the marketing system 3. Other members of the distribution channels and the marketing system not directly under the control of the selling firm, such as advertising agencies, sales agents and others 4.

In this article, the author raises the issues of marketing communications in the digital age. The article also presents the differences between traditional marketing communications and digital marketing.The theoretical basis includes the analysis of digital marketing tools and marketing communications. The empirical part of the study is carried out using two methods of research qualitative and quantitative parts in the form of questionnaires and logical method. As a result, based on theoretical and empirical findings, the author will provide recommendations and suggestions. In conclusion, it is revealed that digital marketing is a new trend in global marketing, aggressively and quickly pushing traditional advertising into the background. 1 Introduction Digital marketing is a type of marketing that is widely used to promote products or services through digital technology in order to attract and retain consumers. Digital marketing goes beyond Internet marketing, including channels that do not require the use of the Internet. It is used in radio, mobile technology, television, the Internet, social media and contextual advertising and in many other forms of digital media. With digital media, consumers can access information anytime and anywhere they want. To get an idea of the growth of the Internet over the past fifteen years, it is enough to say that according to the data, by 2016 the Internet was used by 3.5 billion people, while in 2000 this number was only 400 million, which represents a growth rate of 875%.

  • First and Foremost, Cannes Is an Awards Show. This Year, Entrants

    First and Foremost, Cannes Is an Awards Show. This Year, Entrants

    The Big Prizes: who won what, and why? First and foremost, Cannes is an awards show. This year, entrants (mostly agencies) paid an estimated $72 million to submit 41,170 entries in 24 categories and 1805 prizes were awarded. The most important are the ‘Grand Prix,’ with 28 awarded this year. So who won.. and what does it tell us? The most striking fact is that 57% of the top prizes – 16 out of 28 – went to a single country with just 4.4% of the world’s population: the USA. No other country won more than 2 Grand Prix. For a global festival, where every country should be represented, there is clearly something odd here. Have the majority of the world’s best creatives moved to the US? or is Cannes no longer attracting the diversity of participants it used to attract? We’ll return to this theme later. But for now, let’s look at the positives. The biggest winner, with four Grand Prix, was the statue on Wall Street - the “Fearless Girl,” facing up to the iconic Wall Street Bull. The agency was McCann New York and their client was State Street. A simple but brilliant image of the gender equality which Wall Street lacks and State Street has committed to improving. A “big idea,” proving that such a thing still exists – a commercial objective achieved through an expression of corporate purpose and social responsibility. “Fearless Girl” “Fearless Girl” won best outdoor, best PR, best in gender equality (the Glass Lion) and the Titanium award which is a kind of ‘best in show.’ Congratulations to all involved.

Winning in Service Markets Series: Vol. 5 Service Marketing Communications Jochen Wirtz Winning in Service Markets is a highly practical book. I love the comprehensive coverage of services marketing and the rigor. Also, it is easy to read and full of interesting, best practice examples. I recommend this book to everyone working in a service organization. Jan Swartz President, Princess Cruises Winning in Service Markets provides a set of useful frameworks and prescriptions rooted in both practice and research. As such, it represents a refreshing alternative to the prevailing literature available to managers who are looking for insights rooted in sound theory. A must read for any practicing manager in the service economy. Leonard A. Schlesinger Baker Foundation Professor, Harvard Business School Developing an effective service marketing communications strategy starts with a good understanding of the service product and its prospective buyers. It is essential to understand target market segments and their exposure to different media, consumers’ awareness of the service product, their attitudes toward it, and how they can easily evaluate the products characteristics prior to purchase, and during and after consumption.
  • Metrics for the New Internet Marketing Communications Mix 175

    Metrics for the New Internet Marketing Communications Mix 175

    METRICS FOR THE NEW INTERNET MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS MIX 175 CHAPTER 7 METRICS FOR THE NEW INTERNET MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS MIX RANDOLPH E. BU C KLIN , OLIVER J. RUTZ , AND MI C HAEL TRUSOV Abstract The Internet provides marketers with an expanded set of communications vehicles for reaching customers. Two of the most important and fast-growing elements of this new communications mix are online advertising and electronic word-of-mouth. While these vehicles provide new op- portunities, they are also challenging marketers to understand how consumers respond and to develop new metrics for assessing performance. The purpose of this chapter is to review recent research developments in marketing that are most relevant to assessing the impact of these com- munications vehicles. The chapter first discusses the two major forms of Internet advertising, display ads (also known as banners) and paid search. (Paid search refers to the text ads served as sponsored links by Internet search engines.) The existing literature on banner ads provides a body of empirical findings as well as a set of methods that marketers can draw upon to assess performance. Research on paid search is still emerging but early work has developed approaches that marketers can use as the basis for suitable performance metrics. As a social medium, the Internet offers users new ways to communicate more easily and more extensively with others. Online communities, social networking sites, online referral programs, product reviews, and blogs all allow word-of-mouth to spread faster and farther than in the past. Research has shown how electronic records of online word-of-mouth (e.g., product reviews) can be connected, via models, to performance outcome variables such as product ratings and sales levels.

These new approaches are mainly used as a communication tool and are called social media. The purpose of this thesis has been to study how social media influence the marketing communication of companies . The methodology behind this research, in order to ensure a suitable and viable data collection, was personal interviews with two manufacturing companies, one social network platform and one marketing agency. The method was a qualitative research approach combining different case studies in the research strategy. The diverse interview partners were each given a specific interview guide synchronized to their field of business and afterwards these four cases were analyzed using the data collected from the personal interviews and the mentioned interview guides. The overall result of this thesis was that the communication via social media is still in the early stages of its development.
