FedEx FedEx is a household name in the overnight shipping business, thanks in large part to its 50,000 delivery vehicles, or rolling billboards as one company executive describes them. So when the company pays millions to sponsor sports events and for naming rights to stadiums, it is not as interested in increasing exposure for its brand as it is in cultivating long-term relationships with key customers and contributing to a positive corporate image over time. Analysts estimate that for its role in sponsoring the FedEx Orange Bowl the company receives about $32 million in television exposure, a figure that FedEx officials discount deeply.

Marketing Communications Explicit Implicit Bearden Marketing 5th Ed Explicit communications convey a distinct, clearly stated message through personal selling, advertising, public relations, sales promotion, direct marketing, or some combination of these methods. Implicit communications are messages connoted by the product itself, its price, or the places it is sold. 16-13 © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Strategies Push Strategy Involves convincing intermediary channel members to “push” the product through the channel to the ultimate consumer. Pull Strategy Attempts to get consumers to “pull” the product from the manufacturing company through the marketing channel. Combination Strategy Aims marketing communications at both resellers and ultimate consumers. Bearden Marketing 5th Ed 16-14 © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Monitoring, Evaluating, and Controlling Examples: Monitor sales promotion by the number of coupons redeemed. Measure the effectiveness of a new personal selling strategy by looking at the number of new accounts opened. A firm might run tests to see if consumers noticed the ad. Review sales results and attribute fluctuations in sales volume to MC. Bearden Marketing 5th Ed 16-15 © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Ethical and Legal Considerations Advertising Using deceptive advertising Reinforcing unfavorable ethnic/racial/sex stereotypes Encouraging materialism and excessive consumption Public relations Lack of sincerity (paying lip service to worthwhile causes) Using economic power unfairly to gain favorable publicity Orchestrating news events to give false appearance of widespread support for corporate position Bearden Marketing 5th Ed 16-16 © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Ethical and Legal Considerations Sales promotion Offering misleading consumer promotions Paying slotting allowances to gain retail shelf space Using unauthorized mailing lists to reach consumers Personal selling Using high-pressure selling Failing to disclose product limitations/safety concerns Misrepresenting product benefits Direct marketing communications Invading privacy by telemarketing Using consumer database information without authorization of consumers Creating economic waste with unwanted direct mail Bearden Marketing 5th Ed 16-17 © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Legal – But Ethical Some marketing communications may be technically legal but raise significant ethical questions: Liquor industry now advertises on cable and local television stations. Extensive promotion of higher-cost drugs when health care costs are spiraling out of control. Heavy promotional allowances to pharmacies for agreement to push proprietary instead of generic drugs. Bearden Marketing 5th Ed 16-18 © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Effects of Globalization Adjust the communications mix from country to country to avoid legal and ethical problems. Differences in language, culture, legal and ethical norms, and availability of various media are usually significant. Sales promotion techniques that involve contests and giveaways are regulated quite differently in various countries. Effective advertising messages in one country may be offensive to residents of other countries. What constitutes acceptable personal selling behavior also varies significantly across countries and cultures. Bearden Marketing 5th Ed 16-19 © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
