  8. Communications Theory • In order to understand marketing communications, one must not only understand marketing, but also understand some elements of communication theory. • Communication defined - the process by which individuals share meaning.

  9. Information • Information is what is exchanged in the communication process • Information is described as a one-way process, whereas the communication process is regarded as two-way, a dialogue • Why do we try and obtain information before making a purchase? • A receiver-orientated view defines information as the “reduction of uncertainty” (Wersig 1974:73)

  10. The Power of Information • Certain communication initiatives are “better” at eliciting information – i.e, personal selling, and forms of direct marketing and direct response marketing • Information is obtained through mutuality, sharing with other consumers – i.e., impact of word of mouth communications, and consumers knowledge and interactions. • Information is key to influencing and determining consumer choice decisions.

  17. Source attractiveness • Occurs when the receiver identifies some type of relationship with the source and therefore adopts a similar position.

  18. Source power • This is said to be present when the source of a message is able to reward or punish.
