sender and a receiver, to handle the message

deliver the message to the sender• the sender decodes the message, based on
his or her frame of reference and experience• may be a need for a response and feedback• the process can be interrupted by noise

Inside the Communications Process• The act of encoding allows that
messages can take many forms.• The methods of transmitting a message
are limited only by the imagination and creativity of the sender.
• How the message is decoded depends on its form and the capability and interest of the recipient.
• Without measurable objectives, the effectiveness of a message cannot be evaluated.

Considerations in Designing Marketing Communications Mix• Target market
• Readiness to buy, knowledge, liking, preference, conviction (belief)
• Purchase• Geographic scope• Type — consumer or middleman• Concentration

• Nature of the product• Unit value • Degree of customization • Presale and postsale service
• Stage of the product life cycle• Amount of money available for
promotion
More Considerations

Push or Pull Strategy
• a push strategy directs communication efforts at channel members; a pull strategy directs promotion at the end consumer
• many products, such as business products, are promoted with a push strategy, involving personal selling and use of trade promotions
• most consumer products would rely more heavily on a pull strategy where promotion is directed at the consumer to stimulate demand
Copyright © 2001 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited18 - 15
Choosing a Push or Pull Strategy• A push strategy is directing the
communication primarily at the middlemen that are the next link forward in the producer’s distribution channel.
• A pull strategy has the communication directed at the end users — primarily consumers.

Determining the Communications Budget• Percentage of Sales:
• Based on past or projected sales, e.g. 2%.• $X per unit is variation for big-ticket items.• Simple, but implies it’s a result of sales.
• All Available Funds:• New business which needs to build sales
and share in early years can use this.• Can make sense if more marketing
communications leads directly to more sales.

More Budgeting Methods• Follow the Competition:
• Match what your competitors spend.• Can use industry averages.• Benchmark against one key competitor.• But does it fit with your strategies?
• Task or Objective:• Best approach: What do you want to
achieve?• Identify tasks/objectives, then cost them out.• Sometimes called buildup method.
