Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) • IMC is a cross-functional process for planning, executing, and monitoring brand communications. • The goal is to profitably acquire, retain, and grow customers. • IMC strategy requires a thorough understanding of target markets, the brand, its competition, and other internal and external factors.
Marketing Communication Tools • MarCom consists of both planned and unplanned messages between firms and customers and among customers. • E-marketers can enhance MarCom by using innovative technologies, such as text and multimedia messages, databases, blogs, digital receiving devices, etc. • Internet MarCom may include advertising, sales promotion, marketing public relations (MPR), direct marketing, and personal selling.
Imc Goals And Strategies • The AIDA and “think, feel, do” (hierarchy of effects) models help guide selection of online and offline MarCom tools to meet their goals. • The models recognize that consumers first become aware of a product before they develop feelings and purchase it. • The models can help marketers select appropriate communication objectives and strategies, such as: • Build brand equity. • Elicit a direct response.
