What is Internal Marketing
 A company faces two markets:
 External market, comprising of
customers
 Internal market, comprising of
employees
 A firm should sell itself to both the
markets in order to have maximum
profits, the ultimate goal of any firm.
CONTD…
 Internal marketing is attracting,
developing, motivating and retaining
qualified employees through job-products
that satisfy their needs.
 Its a marketing perspective of managing an
organization’s Human Resources, hence
sounds more like HR and less Marketing.
 Convince your people and they will
convince the world
Three Levels of Internal Marketing
Situations where IM is called for
 Developing a service culture
 Maintaining a service culture
 Introducing new offerings, campaigns,
technologies and service processes to
employees
Developing a service culture

and enhance the service-mindedness and
customer orientation of employees

Introducing new offerings, campaigns,
technologies and service processes to

Importance of Internal Marketing
 Management is about working with
whole persons and not employees.
 Living the brand, eg IKEA, Dell, IBM,
Virgin.
 Proud and proud of it, it is all about
pushing the positives.
 Outperforming the competitors.
CONTD…
“ Internal marketing is more vital than external
marketing. Customer-touching and customerfacing employees, not external marketing,
drive acquisition and retention. Solution: Invest
in internal marketing, branding and
promotion. Work with HR, IT and operations to
get employees involved in the demand chain."

Internal Marketing in Modern Firm
 Firms are in continuous transition,
M&As, downsizing, rightsizing
 Firms re-brand; all stakeholders
including the employees should be
communicated to
 Empowering staff to further customer
relationship
 More contract and less full time
employment
CONTD…
 There is less reciprocal loyalty
between employer and employee
 New ways of working require
organizations and staff to constantly
learn new skills

Some Hard lessons
 McDonald’s failure to demonstrate its
organizational values and deliver on its
brand promise
 In 2001, a University of Michigan study on
customer service ranked McDonald’s among the
poorest performers relative to customer
satisfaction
 on any given day, 11% of McDonald’s customers
were dissatisfied with their visit
 nearly 70% of the dissatisfied customers were
further dissatisfied with the way their complaint
was handled
CONTD…
 More than half of all dissatisfied customers
cut back on their visits to McDonald’s and
told as many as ten other people about
their bad experience
 The top five complaints by McDonald’s
customers were rude employees, being out
of Happy Meal toys, slow service, missing
product/wrong order and unclean
restaurants
 This was costing the chain approx $750 mn
every year
The way at Infosys
 In March 2006 launched a global branding
campaign
 Idea ‘to win the flat world’
 conducted an extensive internal campaign
to bring over 50,000 of its employees on
board with the new positioning
 From March 2006 to June 2007, Infosys
increased its annual revenues from $2
billion to $3 billion. A significant portion of
that increase was attributed to the internal
marketing
Mantra at Virgin Group
 A diversified group with over 200
privately held companies
 It is more than just posters in the
hallway
 Brand + HR new best friends
 Internal communication is lifeline
LLOYDS TSB
 Three mergers in one year created a single
brand with 77,000 employees and 15
million customers
 Need for integrating employees, integrated
range of products and brand proposition
 To communicate to customer it needed to
communicate with the employees, hence a
comprehensive and sustained internal
marketing programme was launched
CONTD…
 Key component was a live event at
Birmingham ‘your life your bank’
 5,000 pathfinders which included 2,000
senior managers
 Contributions from top management to
signage designer
 On the day of full launch the CEO
addressed the staff live on business TV
 Performance by Corrs a welcome letter to
every employee.
