Central Question…. • What are the different things that companies/marketers can do to promote their product(s)?
objectives • TLW examine the promotional tools in both product and institutional promotions • TLW evaluate a company and design a promotional tool • Std: 4.0 The student will analyze promotional tools
1. Personal Selling • Sales rep • Disadvantage: Expensive!! • Contacts/ relationships (current and potential) • Personal meetings • Demos • E-mails • Phone
2. Advertising • Non-personal, paid promotion • Variety of media • One-way communication
3. Sales promotion • Coupons, money-back, samples, POP displays, promotional items • All marketing activities EXCEPT: • Personal selling • Advertising • Public relations

Activity • In pairs, create product promotional tools (not selling or ads) for the company… • A) sales promotion (coupon and promotional item ~ reasonable!) • B) direct marketing (direct mail piece, telemarketing script, e-marketing piece, or social media piece) • *These will also be graded for grammar!
1. Public relations • (PR) activities help an organization to influence a target audience. • Publicity (FREE!!) • News releases- announcement -> media • Social media- opinions, customer contact • Influence general opinion • Create favorable public image • Re-direct problem issues
2. Company Website • Is easy to find and navigate • Gives an abundance of information to consumers and potential consumers • Ben and Jerry's website
3. Community Relations • When an organization SHOWS and PROVES an interest in the community it is in. • Chik-Fil-A • D.A.R.E • Youth football sponsors
4.Charity Involvement • “Cause” Marketing • What does this mean? • Why does this matter?
Activity • Back to the massage therapist… • Come up with either a community relations event OR a charity involvement event for this new business • Include: • A news release for the event that includes all the details (pg. 398 in text) (grammar!!) • One promotional advertisement/poster for the event (where would it go?)
