Study Notes
Inbound vs. Outbound Marketing
- Inbound marketing attracts consumers through valuable, tailored content (e.g., Netflix). It's a "full funnel" approach encompassing attracting, engaging, and delighting customers.
- Outbound marketing sends mass marketing messages regardless of relevance or welcome (e.g., real estate cold calls).
Promotional Mix
- Advertising: Paid, non-personal communication about an organization, product, service, or idea by an identified sponsor. Examples include Out-of-Home (billboards), broadcast (TV & radio), and print (magazines & newspapers). It aims to increase awareness, sales, change brand attitudes, and build brand image. Lacks immediate feedback and sales traceability.
- Public Relations (PR): Strategic communication building relationships between an organization and its publics (employees, investors, customers, etc.). It aims for positive brand image through media coverage, not directly paid advertising. Credibility is high but control is limited, with outcomes potentially positive or negative. Tools include sponsoring events and CSR initiatives.
- Direct Marketing: Direct communication and exchange between a company and its consumers. Includes direct response advertising (traceable and measurable, with clear calls to action), direct mail (traditional or digital), catalogs.
- Sales Promotions: Activities aimed at increasing short-term sales. Consumer-oriented examples include coupons, discounts, contests, and point-of-purchase (POP) materials. Trade-oriented examples include trade allowances and cooperative advertising.
- Personal Selling: Person-to-person communication persuading prospective buyers to purchase; offers flexibility, tailored messages, and immediate feedback.
- Digital Marketing: Uses the internet to implement all promotional mix elements. Includes user-generated content (UGC), social media (influencer marketing), and interactivity. Content marketing, a subset of digital marketing, entertains, inspires, educates, and convinces using various formats like blog posts, videos, and infographics.

- Review marketing plan
- Promotional program situation analysis
- Analysis of the communication process
- Budget determination
- Develop IMC programs (advertising, PR, sales promotion, direct marketing, personal selling, and digital marketing objectives and strategies)
- Integrate and implement IMC strategies
- Monitor, evaluate, and control IMC program
