Advantages of Marketing Communication Mix
An organization’s promotional mix consisting of various promotion tools like advertising, sales
promotion, public relations, personal selling, direct-marketing tools and online, digital and
integrated marketing methods is called the Marketing Communications Mix.
It is the way to communicate your brand value to the consumer and build long-lasting customer
relationships.
Most often your advertising department and sales management team may be communicating
different messages to your consumers, which lead to an inconsistent promotional message. For
example, your newspaper advertisement might have promoted a certain price whereas the product
label doesn’t reflect the same price; this causes confusion in the mind of the consumer that further
aggravates due to a totally different message on your website! Since different communication
channels are handled by different departments of your organization, very often your marketing
communication mix falls out of sync. This is where the concept of Integrated Marketing
Communications (IMC) helps you integrate the various channels to deliver a uniform and
compelling message about your brand to the target audience. It brings together all the company’s
messages under one campaign to promote a single, clear and consistent positioning statement.
