Understand promotional channels
used to communicate with targeted
audiences.
• Discuss differences between advertising and sales promotions.
• Advertising is a non-personal form of promotion that is delivered through
selected media outlets that, under most circumstances, require the
marketer to pay for message placement.
• Sales Promotions are short-term incentives to encourage the purchase or
sale of a product or service
• Explain reasons that businesses use sales promotions.
• Attempts to provide added value or incentives as well as stimulate sales
• Describe types of consumer sales promotions.
Types: (will be defined later)
• Coupons
• Rebates
• Promotional pricing
• Trade-in
• Loyalty programs
• Sampling/free trials
• Free products
• Premiums
• Contest and sweepstakes
• Demonstrations
• Personal appearances
• Discuss/explain types of trade sales and business-to-business
sales promotions.
Types: (will be defined later)
• Point-of-Purchase Displays
• Advertising Support Programs
• Short Term Allowances
• Sales Incentives or Push Money
• Promotional Products
• Trade Shows
• Buy-One-Get-One-Free (BOGOF) - which is an example of a selfliquidating promotion. For example if a loaf of bread is priced at
$1, and cost 10 cents to manufacture, if you sell two for $1, you are
still in profit - especially if there is a corresponding increase in sales.
This is known as a PREMIUM sales promotion tactic.
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM) incentives such as
bonus points or money off coupons. There are many examples of
CRM, from banks to supermarkets.
• New media - Websites and mobile phones that support a sales
promotion. For example, in the United Kingdom, Nestle printed
individual codes on KIT-KAT packaging, whereby a consumer would
enter the code into a dynamic website to see if they had won a
prize. Consumers could also text codes via their mobile phones to the
same effect.
• Merchandising additions such as dump bins, point-of-sale materials
and product demonstrations.
• Free gifts e.g. Subway gave away a card with six spaces for stickers
with each sandwich purchase. Once the card was full the consumer
was given a free sandwich.
• Discounted prices e.g. Budget airline such as EasyJet and Ryanair,
e-mail their customers with the latest low-price deals once new flights
are released, or additional destinations are announced.
• Joint promotions between brands owned by a company, or with
another company's brands. For example fast food restaurants often
run sales promotions where toys, relating to a specific movie release,
are given away with promoted meals.
• Free samples (aka. sampling) e.g. tasting of food and drink at
sampling points in supermarkets. For example Red Bull (a
caffeinated fizzy drink) was given away to potential consumers at
supermarkets, in high streets and at petrol stations (by a promotions
team).
• Vouchers and coupons, often seen in newspapers and magazines,
on packs.
• Competitions and prize draws, in newspapers, magazines, on the
TV and radio, on The Internet, and on packs.
• Cause-related and fair-trade products that raise money for charities,
and the less well off farmers and producers, are becoming more
popular.
• Finance deals - for example, 0% finance over 3 years on selected
vehicles
• Describe types of point-of-purchase displays that are used for
sales promotion
• Allow products to be prominently presented, often in high traffic areas,
increasing the probability it will stand out
• Stand alone displays
• Compare the similarities and differences between coupons and
rebates
• Both provide a discount to customers
• May reward customers for their loyalty
• Coupons are redeemed at the point of purchase, while rebates must be
submitted and sent to the customer
• Distinguish between push and pull sales promotion strategies.
• Push sales promotions: used by a manufacturer to convince or “push”
retailers to carry and promote products in their retail establishments.
Relies heavily on personal selling and sales promotion
• allowances, buy-back guarantees, free trials, contests, specialty
advertising items, discounts, displays, premiums
• Pull sales promotions: directed towards customers to increase their interest
and demand for products. Customers will “pull” or convince retailers to
carry the products. Relies heavily on advertising.
• samples, coupons, cash refunds, rebates, loyalty programs, contests,
sweepstakes, POP
• Explain how contests, sweepstakes, and games differ.
• Contests are special promotions awarding value to winners based on skill
they demonstrate compared to others
• Sweepstakes are not skill based, but based on luck. Winners are
determined by random selection
• Games come in a variety of formats, such as scratch-off cards and
collection of game pieces. To participate in games, customers may be
required to make a purchase
• Describe trends in sales promotions
• Marketers need to balance the advantages short-term promotions
offer versus the potential to erode loyalty to the product
• Customer Expectations: Many customers are conditioned to expect a
promotion at the time of purchase otherwise they may withhold or
even alter their purchase if a promotion is not present.
• Electronic Delivery: The Internet and mobile technologies, such as
cellphones, present marketers with a number of new delivery options.
• Tracking: For instance, grocery retailers, whose customers are in
possession of loyalty cards, have the ability to match customer sales
data to coupon use. This information can then be sold to coupon
marketers who may use the information to get a better picture of the
buying patterns of those responding to the coupon.
• Internet Communication: In addition to websites that offer access to
coupons, there are a large number of community forum sites where
members share details about how to obtain good deals which often
include information on how or where to find a sales promotion.
• Clutter: Competing with other promotions for customers’ attention. This
is particularly an issue with inserted coupon promotions that may be
included in mailing or printed media along with numerous other
offerings.
• Explain the role of public relations in business.
• building awareness and a favorable image for a company or client within
stories and articles found in relevant media outlets
• closely monitoring numerous media channels for public comment about a
company and its products
• managing crises that threaten company or product image
• building goodwill among an organization’s target market through
community, philanthropic and special programs and events

information than they receive with other forms of promotion

and where it is placed for delivery
• The news media may not give the exact message as planned by the

feels there is little value to the story

• Discuss reasons that public relations specialists monitor markets.
• Watching what is written and reported in traditional print and broadcast
media
• Keeping an eye on discussions occurring through various Internet outlets
such as forums, chat rooms, blogs and other public messaging areas.
• Marketers must be prepared to respond quickly to erroneous information
and negative opinions about products as it can spin out of control very
quickly through the new technology channels.
• Failure to correct misinformation can be devastating to a product or
company’s reputation.
• Describe the purpose of crisis management in public relations.

major event that threatens to harm the organization, its stakeholders, or

• Forums can cause major problems as a breeding ground for rumor and
accusation.
• Explain how RSS feed can be used for public relations activities.
• Really Simple Syndication: this technology makes it easy for people to

rather than spending time searching
