...Marketing Promotion Promotion is one of the four elements of marketing mix (product, price, promotion, distribution). It is the communication link between sellers and buyers for the purpose of influencing, informing, or persuading a potential buyer's purchasing decision.[ Above the line (ATL), Below the line (BTL), and Through the Line (TTL), in organizational business and marketing communications, are advertising techniques. In a nutshell, while ATL promotions are tailored for a mass audience, BTL promotions are targeted at individuals according to their needs or preferences. While ATL promotions can establish brand identity, BTL can actually lead to a sale. ATL promotions are also d ifficult to measure well, while BTL promotions are highly measurable, giving marketers valuable insights into their return-on-investment. BTL sales promotion is an immediate or delayed incentive to purchase, expressed in cash or in kind, and having short duration. It is efficient and cost-effective for targeting a limited and specific group. It uses less conventional methods than the usual ATL channels of advertising, typically focusing on direct means of communication, most commonly direct mail and e-mail, often using highly targeted lists of names to maximize response rates. BTL services may include those for which a fee is agreed upon and charged up front. \ Marketing promotion Promotional Mix Promotional Mix : Using several different types of communication to support marketing...

...Task 1 Definitions of quality in terms of business and services provision Quality in business, engineering and manufacturing has a pragmatic interpretation as the non-inferiority or superiority of something; it is also defined as fitness for purpose. Quality is a perceptual, conditional, and somewhat subjective attribute and may be understood differently by different people. Consumers may focus on the specification quality of a product/service, or how it compares to competitors in the marketplace. Producers might measure the conformance quality, or degree to which the product/service was produced correctly. Support personnel may measure quality in the degree that a product is reliable, maintainable, or sustainable. There are five aspects of quality in a business context: Producing – providing something. Checking – confirming that something has been done correctly. Quality Control – controlling a process to ensure that the outcomes are predictable. Quality Management – directing an organization so that it optimizes its performance through analysis and improvement. Quality Assurance – obtaining confidence that a product or service will be satisfactory. (Normally performed by a purchaser) Service quality is a comparison of expectations with performance. A business with high service quality will meet customer needs whilst remaining economically competitive. Improved service quality may increase economic competitiveness. This aim may be achieved by understanding and improving...

...Introduction Promotion is used by organisations to communicate with customers with respect to their product offerings. In this sense, promotion is one side of the communication process with customers. Market research, in which suppliers seek to elicit information on consumer requirements from consumers, is the complementary component of the communication process. The following summarises this very simply: Promotion → Producer Customer ← Market research In some forms of promotion and service delivery, communication in both directions can be achieved simultaneously, and since two-way communication is the only real form of communication, promotion which is associated with two-way communication is to be encouraged. Examples of such two-way promotion emerge largely from the contexts of services marketing and relationship marketing. In services marketing, for example, promotion can be part of the service delivery. Exchanges between the service agent and the customer can elicit information about customer requirements, and also permit the service agent to explain the organisation’s products and how these might meet the customer’s needs. Similar kinds of exchanges can occur in the relationship marketing interest in business-to-business marketing transactions where the sales person is a significant agent in the establishment of relationships between customer and the organisation. A more formularised approach, the use of loyalty and reward cards, in, say, supermarkets, offers another approach...

...a time when the aspirations, companies and products were limited. As debt became cheaper and technology took rapid strides in the form of the Internet many wannabe entrepreneurs took the plunge. They realized that if they had a good idea, it would not be long before it could be brought to market. They did not have the budgets for above the line advertising. They had to resort to guerilla marketing techniques to get the message across to the target audience. They had to try out various tactics to get word-of-mouth promotion going. Viral marketing came into being. When all this was happening, marketers decided to draw a line between different advertising mediums. One part was called “above the line” while the other was called “below the line.” In organizational business and marketing communications, Below the Line (BTL) is an advertising technique. It uses less conventional methods than the usual specific channels of advertising to promote products, services, etc. than Above the Line (ATL) strategies. These may include activities such as direct mail, public relations and sales promotions for which a fee is agreed upon and charged up front.

...selecting this demographic, Hasbro further segmented it by targeting boys in between 8 to 12 years of age. This age group has a strong dependence on opinion leaders, is widely influenced by others and place an importance on brand names and trends. While it was estimated that this group spends $14 billion per year, there is still a significant portion of that money that comes from “toy givers” - which typically respond better to traditional marketing efforts; TV commercials Radio Ads Print Ads Catalogs Direct Mail Promotional tools (price packs, prizes, tie-in promotions) The actual target market of tweens will respond better to viral marketing efforts; WOM (Word of Mouth) BUZZ marketing ''key influencers'' Exclusivity/Popularity/Social influence Negotiate product placement in store and weekly advertisement through; Discount off-list price Display or advertising allowance Free product with large order (12 free games with every 500 purchased) The risk companies take with viral marketing is that consumers do not share their experience or the experience is negative. Both instances result in a failure to create “buzz” and will cause sales to remain flat or decline. If Hasbro utilizes a hybrid approach, they will have an opportunity to generate sales through the traditional tactics if the non-traditional campaign is not successful.

One set of marketing objectives to be supported by promotion activities is to generate 40 percent brand awareness within the consumer target market and 50 percent brand awareness within the business target market by the end of next year. To achieve these objectives, Sonic should create a multimedia advertising campaign to build brand awareness and differentiate the product from competitors. 2. Should Sonic continue consumer and trade sales promotion after the new product has been in the market for six months? Explain your reasoning. Sonic should not continue consumer and trade sales promotion after the new product has been in the market for six months. The reason is that after six months, Sonic will become well-known brand and consumer and trade sales promotion may devalue the product in buyers’ minds. 3.
