Integrated Marketing Communications
 Integrated marketing communications (IMC) are composed
of advertising, sales promotions, trade shows, personal
selling, direct selling, and public relations.

• In many markets, the availability of appropriate communication


channels to customers can determine entry decisions.

• Product and service development must be informed by research


regarding the availability of communication channels.

• Once a market offering is developed to meet target market


needs, intended customers must be informed of the offering’s
value and availability.

Sales Promotions in International Markets
 Sales promotions are marketing activities that
stimulate consumer purchases and improve retailer
or middlemen effectiveness and cooperation.
 Sales promotions are short-term efforts directed to
the consumer or retailer to achieve such specific
objectives.
 In markets in which the consumer is hard to reach
because of media limitations, the percentage of the
promotional budget allocated to sales promotions
may have to be increased.

International Advertising
 Global mass media advertising is a powerful tool for
cultural change, and as such, it receives continuing
scrutiny by a wide variety of institutions.
 Advertising expenditures are generally cyclical, though
less so in relationship-oriented countries where
managers and regulators favor stability and long-term
performance.

 We are just beginning to understand some of the key


issues involved in international advertising, but our
knowledge will continue to be quite perishable as the
revolution continues.

Basic Framework of
International Advertising
 Seven steps are involved:
1. Perform marketing research.
2. Specify the goals of the communication.
3. Develop the most effective message(s) for the market
segments selected.
4. Select effective media.
5. Compose and secure a budget based on what is required
to meet goals.
6. Execute the campaign.
7. Evaluate the campaign relative to the goals specified.

Advertising Strategy and Goals
 Intense competition for world markets and the increasing
sophistication of foreign consumers have led to the need
for more sophisticated advertising strategies.
 In many cases, standardized products may be marketed
globally. But because of differences in cultures, they still
require a different advertising appeal in different
markets.
 Many companies are using market segmentation
strategies that ignore national boundaries.
 Others are proposing newer global market segments
defined by “consumer cultures” related to shared sets of
consumption-related symbols.

These vehicular ads make an effective advertising medium even in a dense London
fog. Because most London cabs are black, the Snickers ad catches the eye immediately.

Product Attribute and
Benefit Segmentation
 A market offering really is a bundle of satisfactions
(or utilities) the buyer receives.
• The primary function of the product or service
• Other benefits imputed by the values and customs of the
culture

 While usually agreeing on the benefit of the primary


function of a product, consumers may perceive other
features and psychological attributes of the item
differently.

Regional Segmentation
 The emergence of pan-European communications
media is enticing many companies to push the
balance toward more standardized promotional
efforts.
 Companies strive for harmony in brand names,
advertising, and promotions across Europe.
• To avoid the confusion that results when a market is
exposed to multiple brand names and advertising
messages
• For reasons of efficiency

The Message: Creative Challenges
 International communications may fail for a variety
of reasons:
• A message may not get through because of media
inadequacy
• The message may be received by the intended audience
but not be understood because of different cultural
interpretations
• The message may reach the intended audience and be
understood but have no effect because the marketer did
not correctly assess the needs and wants or even the
thinking processes of the target market

Global Advertising and the
Communications Process
 An information source. Product message to
communicate
 Encoding. Conversion to effective symbolism for
transmission
 A message channel. Media that conveys the encoded
message
 Decoding. The interpretation by the receiver of the
symbolism
 Receiver. Those who receive the message
 Feedback. Information about the effectiveness of the
message
 Noise. Uncontrollable and unpredictable influences

Decoding Problems
 Errors at the receiver end of the process generally
result from a combination of factors:
• An improper message resulting from incorrect knowledge
of use patterns
• Poor encoding producing a meaningless message
• Poor media selection that does not get the message to the
receiver
• Inaccurate decoding by the receiver so that the message is
garbled or incorrect
• Bad luck

Noise: A Disruptive Force
 Comprises all other external influences:
• Competitive advertising

• Other sales personnel

• Confusion at the receiving end

 It is frequently beyond the control of the sender or


the receiver.

Legal Constraints
 Laws that control comparative advertising vary from country to
country in Europe.
 Comparative advertising is heavily regulated in other parts of the
world as well.
 A variety of restrictions on advertising of specific products exist
around the world.
 Advertising on television is strictly controlled in many countries.
 Internet services are especially vulnerable as EU member states
decide which area of regulation should apply to these services.
 Some countries have special taxes that apply to advertising,
which might restrict creative freedom in media selection.

Linguistic Limitations
 Major barriers include:
• Different languages of different countries
• Different languages or dialects within one country
• Subtler problems of linguistic nuance, argument style,
vernacular, and even accent
 Abstraction, terse writing, and word economy, the most
effective tools of the advertiser, pose problems for
translators.
 Low literacy in many countries seriously impedes
communications and calls for greater creativity and use
of verbal media.

Cultural Diversity
 “International advertising is almost uniformly
dreadful mostly because people don’t understand
language and culture.”
 Existing perceptions based on tradition and heritages
often render advertising campaigns ineffective or
worse.
 In addition to concerns with differences among
nations, advertisers find that subcultures within a
country require attention.

Media Limitations
 Limitations on creative strategy imposed by media
may:
• diminish the role of advertising in the promotional
program
• force marketers to emphasize other elements of the
promotional mix

 Creative advertisers in some countries have even


developed their own media for overcoming media
limitations.

Production and Cost Limitations
 Creativity is especially important when a budget is
small or where there are severe production
limitations, such as poor-quality printing and a lack
of high-grade paper.

 The necessity for low-cost reproduction in small


markets poses another problem in many countries.

Media Planning and Analysis
 The network effects of the burgeoning electronic
communication media—in the form of PCs, the
Internet, and mobile phones—influence not only
political events and responses to natural disasters
but also everyday life for everyone on the planet.

 The changes in media in the 21st century are


proceeding at a blinding speed.

Tactical Considerations
 In international advertising, an advertiser must
consider the availability, cost, coverage, and
appropriateness of the media.
 The constant competitive churn among these media
makes for a tricky and dynamic landscape for
decisions.
 Effectiveness of advertising varies across media
types, cultures, and products.
 Local variations and lack of market data require
added attention.

Lack of Market Data
 Verification of circulation or coverage figures is a
difficult task.

 Even where advertising coverage can be measured


with some accuracy, there are questions about the
composition of the market reached.

 Lack of available market data seems to characterize


most international markets.

Newspapers and Magazines
 The newspaper industry is suffering from lack of competition in
some countries and choking because of it in others.
 In many countries, there is a long time lag before an advertisement
can be run in a newspaper.
 Separation between editorial and advertising content in
newspapers provides another basis for contrast on the international
scene.
 The use of foreign national consumer magazines by international
advertisers has been notably low for many reasons.
 Few magazines have a large circulation or provide dependable
circulation figures.
 Technical magazines are used rather extensively to promote export
goods, but as with newspapers, paper shortages cause placement
problems.

Radio and Television
 Most adults view television and listen to radio daily.

 Television and radio advertising availability varies


between countries.

 Some countries do not permit any commercial radio


or television.

 Several of the traditional noncommercial countries


have changed their policies in recent years because
television production is so expensive.

Satellite and Cable TV
 Of increasing importance in TV advertising is
the growth and development of satellite TV
broadcasting.
 The expansion of TV coverage will challenge
the creativity of advertisers and put greater
emphasis on global standardized messages.

Drawbacks of Satellite TV
 Governments fear further loss of control over their
airwaves and the spread of “American cultural
imperialism.”
 Because of their ability to span a wide geographical
region covering many different country markets, a
single message is broadcast throughout a wide area.
• With cultural differences in language, preferences, and so
on, a single message may not be as effective.
 Most satellite technology involves some government
regulation that seldom works for long.

Direct Mail and the Internet
 A viable medium in an increasing number of countries
 Especially important when other media are not available
 Subject to some odd and novel quirks
 A meaningful way to reach their markets
 The Internet can reach a large portion of the business-to-business
market and is widely used in business-to-business communications
and promotion via catalogs and product descriptions.
 Beyond the control of undesirable information, issues such as pay-
per-view, taxes, unfair competition, import duties, and privacy are
being addressed all over the world.
 The Internet industry is lobbying for a global understanding on
regulation to avoid a crazy quilt of confusing and contradictory
rules.

Mobile Phone Applications and
Other Media
 As the number of mobile phones continues to explode
around the world, now over 7 billion, so do the number
of applications available to users.
 The top 1 percent of mobile phone users consume half of
the world’s bandwidth, and the gap is growing!
 Restrictions on traditional media or their availability
cause advertisers to call on lesser media to solve
particular local-country problems.
 The cinema is an important medium in many countries.
 Billboards are especially useful in countries with high
illiteracy rates.

Campaign Execution and
Advertising Agencies

so too have U.S., Japanese, and European advertising
agencies expanded internationally to provide
sophisticated agency assistance worldwide.

 Local agencies also have expanded as the demand for


advertising services by MNCs has developed.

 In most commercially significant countries, an advertiser


has the opportunity to employ a local domestic agency,
its company-owned agency, or one of the multinational
advertising agencies with local branches.
