Sales Promotion
• a ‘special’ offer that is not part of the product
or the usual pricing policy
• couponing could be sales promotion to one firm
and a matter of policy to another
• one-time or infrequent
• create a sense of urgency in the consumer

Marketing Communication
Personal Selling
• surprisingly separate from other marketing
communication mix elements
Why?

• product type (mainframe computer, tractor)
• highly individualized product (custom clothing)

Marketing Communication
Personal Selling
• if personal selling is viewed as a substitute for
other mix elements, then the role of personal
selling is likely to change in the future
• it will become more matter of relationship
management
• it will become a matter of order taking with
highly detailed orders—as opposed to persuasion
