INTRODUCTION

Adverting is only one element of the promotion mix, but it often considered prominent in the overall marketing mix design. Its high visibility and pervasiveness made it as an important social and encomia topic in Indian society. Promotion may be defined as “the co-ordination of all seller initiated efforts to set up channels of information and persuasion to facilitate the scale of a good or service. Promotion is most often intended to be a supporting component in a marketing mix. Promotion decision must be integrated and co-ordinated with the rest of the marketing mix, particularly product/brand decisions, so that it may effectively support an entire marketing mix strategy. The promotion mix consists of four basic elements. They are:-

1. Advertising

2. Personal Selling

3. Sales Promotion, and

4. Publicity

1. Advertising is the dissemination of information by non-personal means   through paid       media where the source is the sponsoring organization.

2. Personal selling is the dissemination of information by non-personal methods, like face-to-face, contacts between audience and employees of the

      sponsoring organization. The source of information is the sponsoring       organization. 3. Sales promotion is the dissemination of information through a wide variety  of activities other than personal selling, advertising and publicity which       stimulate consumer purchasing and dealer effectiveness. 4. Publicity is the disseminating of information by personal or non-personal  means and is not directly paid by the organization and the organization is   not the source.

 DEFINITION OF ADVERTISISNG

Advertising Objectives

 Each advertisement is a specific communication that must be effective, not just for one customer, but for many target buyers. This means that specific objectives should be set for each particular advertisement campaign. Advertising is a form of promotion and like a promotion; the objectives of advertising should be specific. This requires that the target consumers should be specifically identified and that the effect which advertising is intended to have upon the consumer should be clearly indicated. The objectives of advertising were traditionally stated in terms of direct sales. Now, it is to view advertising as having communication objectives that seek to inform persuade and remind potential customers of the worth of the product. Advertising seeks to condition the consumer so that he/she may have a favorable reaction to the promotional message. Advertising objectives serve as guidelines for the planning and implementation of the entire advertising programme.

CONCEPT OF SALES PROMOTION

 Sales promotion consists of diverse collection of incentive tools, mostly short-term designed to stimulate quicker and / or greater purchase of a particular product by consumers or the trade.. Sales promotion includes tools for consumer promotion (for example samples, coupons, prizes, cash refund, warranties, demonstrations, contest); trade promotion (for example buying allowances, free goods, merchandise allowances, co-operative advertising, advertising and display allowances, dealer sales contests); and sales-force promotion (for example bonuses, contests, sales rallies).Sales promotion efforts are directed at final consumers and designed to motivate, persuade and remind them of the goods and receives that are offered. Sales persons adopt several techniques for sales promotion.

 Definitions of Sales Promotion

 W.J. Stanton defines sales promotion as all those activities other than advertising, personal selling, public relations and publicity that are intended to stimulate customer demand and improve the marketing performance of sellers.

 Purpose of sales Promotion

 Sales promotion tools vary in their specific objectives. A free sample stimulates consumer trial, while a free management advisory service comments along-term relationship with a retailer. From the marketer’s perspective, sales promotion serves three essential rolesit informs, persuades and reminds prospective and current customers and otherselected audiences about a company and its products.  Because distribution channels are often long, a product may pass through many lands between a producer and consumers. Therefore, a producer must inform middlemen as well as the ultimate consumers or business users about the product. Wholesalers, in turn must inform retailers and retailers must inform consumers. As the number of potential customers grows and the geographic dimensions of a market expand, the problems and costs of informing the market increase.

 

Objectives of Sales Promotion

 The basic objectives of sales promotion are:

 i) To introduce new products

 To induce buyers to purchase a new product, free samples may be distributed or money and merchandise allowance may be offered to business to stock and sell the product.

 ii) To attract new customers

 New customers may be attracted through issue of free samples, premiums, contests and similar devices.

iii) To induce present customers to buy more

Present customers may be induced to buy more by knowing more about a product, its ingredients and uses.

iv) To help firm remain competitive

 Sales promotions may be undertaken to meet competition from a firm.

 v) To increase sales in off season

 Buyers may be encouraged to use the product in off seasons by showing them the variety of uses of the product.

 vi) To increase the inventories of business buyers

 Retailers may be induced to keep in stock more units of a product so that more sales can be effected.

RATIONALE OF SALES PROMOTION

 Rationale of sales promotion may be analyzed under the following points.

 ??Short-term results

 Sales promotion such as coupons and trade allowances produce quicker, more measurable sales results. However critics of this strategy argue that these immediate benefits come at the expense of building brand equity. They believe that an over emphasize on sales promotion may under mine a brand’s future.

 ??Competitive Pressure

 If competitors offer buyers price reductions, contest or other incentives, a firm may feel forced to retaliate with its own sales promotions.

 ??Buyers’ expectations

 Once they are offered purchase incentives, consumers and channel members get used to them and soon begin expecting them.

 ??Low quality of retail selling

 Many retailers use inadequately trained sales clerks or have switched to self service. For these outlets, sales promotion devices such as product displays and samples often are the only effective promotional tools available at the point of purchase.

 SALES PROMOTION PLAN PREPARATION

There is wide acceptance that sales promotion is one of the most mismanaged of all marketing functions. This can be attributed to the confusion as to what sales promotion really is – which often results in expenditures not being properly accounted for. Some companies record it as advertising expenditure, others as sales force expenditure and others as general marketing expenditure – while the loss of revenue from special price reductions is not recorded at all.

The companies can no longer afford not to set objectives or to evaluate results after the event, or to fail to have some company guidelines. For example, a 1 Euro case allowance on a product with a contribution rate of 3 Euro per case has to increase sales by 50% just to maintain the same level of contribution.

In order to manage a company’s sales promotion expenditure more effectively, there is one essential step that must be taken. First, an objective for sales promotion must be established in the same way that an objective is developed for advertising, pricing, or distribution.

 Advertising, Promotion And The Brand

 By now it is clearly understood that The role of Advertising and promotion In fast moving consumer Good Markets. Advertising has been seen as one of the primary tools of Brand Building. The high cost and difficulties of mass advertising are seen as one of the major challenges to fast moving consumer good brands.

Do All Brands Need Advertising?

 The basic assumption is that brands need advertising but some strong brands apparently do not. Spencer used to spend almost nothing on advertising, Yet it was an enormously powerful brand.  Of course, Both these are retailers; they have stores which people pass by go into. The Stores Themselves Are – In Their Way – Advertising, and It Is Difficult to think of major brands other than retailers those have done without advertising.

 We can safely make two statements about brand communication :

 ??Every brand must have some means of communicating with its buyers.

        This may not be advertising, but it must be direct if it is to be controllable.

        and frame can be achieved, but the message has to be one that its

        really new and interesting.

??All the means of communication and the messages transmitted must be

       Co-ordinate to make some that they are saying the sense thing,

        confused consumers don’t buy.

 

There Is A Price Paradise

 

The standard model of advertising and the brand suggests that a strong  brand is less sensitive to price than a weaker one. When advertising increases sales, the average sensitivity to price also increases. In other words, a seemingly successful campaign has made buyers more sensitive to price, where as we would expect our brand buyers to be, if anything, less sensitive.

Integrating Advertising And Promotions

 

The answer to the problem of conflicting communications must be to Integrate advertising and Promotion. There are two common sense reasons for integration.

The First reason is that integration creates synergy. This is a much – Abused word, but the evidence shows clearly that advertising and promotion can work together to produce a greater effect.

 

In addition, The integration of advertising and promotion gives the consumer a coherent message. If  advertising and promotion are to achieve synergy and to build a cumulative

effect in consumers’ minds, they must be mutually consistent.

 

Planning Advertising And Promotion

The advertising and promotion plan is only one part of the overall marketing plan and must fit within it. In order to start the advertising plan, we need some background – which Is not a very formal restrictive planning, but for a process of thinking through what the advertising and promotion are trying to achieve. 

 

From The brand plan we should expect to find the following elements.

 

??A situation analysis (Where we are and why)

??Objectives (What the brand is aiming for in sales, share and other targets)

??Positioning (How the brand is positioned in the consumer’s mind )       

??Strategy (How the brand is Going to compete in this market)

???Advertising strategy (What role advertising has next period with in tshe

        overall strategy) And

??Budget (What moneys are available to spend on advertising promotion).

        advertising objectives must include Long-Term brand building. They

        may of Course also include shorter-term tasks such as announcing a new

       variation or promotion.

 CONCLUSION

 Advertising: A firm as its basic of fundamental tool production uses it. It normally has long-term objectives like building brand awareness or building consumers loyalty or repositioning a brand. It helps sales by adding some durable and long-term value to the product. Advertising in mostly an indirect way for consumer to buy a product.

 sales: It is generally designed to supplement advertising and facilitates personal selling.It performs the immediate task of increasing current sales. It aids selling by temporarily changing the existing price value relationship of the  product. Sales promotion is a direct and almost open inducement to consumers to immediately try the product.

Thus from all the above studies it can be concluded that for the marketing of any product, the best way to increase sales is through the Sales promotion rather than advertising. It is so because in advertising a product there is many criteria’s, which are to be, fulfilled which is not an easy task. Thus it is easier to increase the sales through sales promotion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Business nowadays is doing different kinds of austerity measures when it comes to advertising their products and services. This is because of high rates of placing ads on print and on television. But there is a fast growing approach that businessmen can utilize to bring their services closer to the people and that is through Internet Marketing.

One tool that is causing internet marketing popularity is PPC advertising. This is a technique used in search engine marketing that requires one to pay a fee every time someone clicks an ad on your website. Usually this placement is done through a bidding process. If you are a top bidder for your keywords/phrases, you are sure to be on the number one spot on all search engines. Just be sure of the effectiveness of your ad copy to get the most number of clicks you need for your business.

Here are the benefits of PPC advertising are:

1.    You need not be a genius in computer and technology to be able to run this ad campaign.
2.    Immediate results are seen after a few days.
3.    No need to make a website conform to the SEO rules.
4.    Nothing to lose even if you do not top the pages of different search engines. You can still always choose PPC advertising.
5.    You can make use any search engine available.
6.    You can type in any keyword you like.

Cons of PPC advertising includes:

1.    Fixed payments every month to the search engine you choose.
2.    Pay for each click received by your website. At times, visitors are just competitors or people playing pranks on search engines. This hassle wastes money you put in to this advertising.
3.    Inability to pay for the fees next month would mean removal of your website on the paid listings.
4.    This advertising can only be used temporarily because it is difficult to handle in the long run.
5.    Pay-per-click pricing can be costly for long periods of time, therefore, this should be stopped after an ad campaign.

But how exactly PPC advertising can increase traffic, leads and sales?

PRE-QUALIFIED TRAFFIC. All visitors of your website are already considered as a qualified consumer or buyer of your product. PPC advertising leads your customers to you for a lesser cost.

INSTANT EXPOSURE, IMMEDIATE PROFITS. PPC search engines enable you to get your desired results fast. They will have your website live within just a few hours which means immediate increase in sale.

CONSISTENT TOP LISTINGS. This is to get your website on top of the sponsored search results for free. You just have to choose the keywords related to your site and business and place them within your web pages. After this, you are done.

PPC advertising enables advertisers to control their advertising campaigns. Advertisers have effectively targeted their audience and set their own price per click. PPC advertising networks provide the platform to identify the desired audience by geographic setting, topic and industry.  These networks have a list of websites of the publishers where the ads will be placed.

Tools are provided by the networks to check how the pay per click limit is working for a certain advertiser. If its still competitive, would it be even listed among the paid search lists or does it generate sales? Of course, if the advertiser made the highest bid, the better chances the ad will be seen in the search engine. These networks too provide protection for the advertisers against click fraud. This advertising set-up allows advertisers to set a daily budget for his ads, thus, less spending for unnecessary clicks. Advertiser will never go over his budget.  

In PPC advertising, what are important are the keywords and phrases. You have to select at least ten “very specific” keywords that would give you the best traffic in the search. Then, write the ad creatively but straightforward. Tell the truth about your product or service and do not lie. Good thing if your product or service will not disappoint those that are relying on your ad’s promise – but what if it did otherwise? Important too is the clarity of the ad. Do not use very vague languages. Include important details like the price.

You should also remember to budget your bids. Do not go overbidding because you will only lose your money and do not go so low that your ads will never get the chance to show up. Check your profit against your spending. If you see no progress then most likely you have to drop your ad campaign.

More and more advertisers have been using PPC advertising and it will continue to grow faster than any online advertising techniques. From revenues of $2.6 billion in 2004 to $5.5 billion in 2009, cost per click will dramatically go up as well from $0.29 to $0.36.

PPC advertising is new in online marketing and it is going to continue in the years to come. For advertisers, this means increase revenues with fewer advertising expenses, savings, more sales, good return of investment (ROI) and effective ad campaigns in the days to come.
