COMMUNICATION PROCESS
? Communications efforts should be
viewed from the perspective of
managing customer relationships over
time.
? The communication process begins
with an audit of all potential contacts a
customer might have with the brand.
? Effective communication requires
knowledge of how communication
works.
? Marketing Communications:
? In integrated marketing communications,
the company will carefully coordinate the
promotion elements to deliver a clear,
consistent, and compelling message about
the organization and its products.
? Communication Objectives:
Once the target audience has been
defined the marketing communicator
must decide what response is sought. In
many cases the final response is
purchase. But purchase is the result of a
long process of consumer decision
making.
BUYER-REDINESS STAGES
? The target audience may be in any of six
buyer-readiness stages, the stages
consumers normally pass through on their
way to making a purchase.
? These stages include awareness,
knowledge, liking, preference,
conviction, and purchase.

the company will carefully coordinate the

purchase. But purchase is the result of a
long process of consumer decision
making.

buyer-readiness stages, the stages
