1. franchise building; creates loyalty and long-term

2. non-franchise building; short-term strategy, no
time for customers to build loyalty; e.g. sale price on a
product.
• Manufacturers use this technique to encourage
purchasing of the brand.
• Can be directed at trade, retailers or distributors.
LO2: Sales Promotion
Push Vs Pull Strategies
• A push strategy encourages wholesalers and retailers
to increase inventories (at the expense of competitors)
through promotional activities such as personal selling,
trade advertising and trade-orientated promotion (sales
influence, advertising and promotions in the form of
allowances).
• A pull strategy is directed to consumers with the intent
of influencing their behaviour. The goal is to have
consumers seek out retailers who sell the brand by
directing customer advertising or promotions towards
them.

You are convinced that promotion is the best way to launch this
Is this event one that the competition has previously sponsored? Is there a
risk that consumers will forget the actual sponsor?
Does the budget support the sponsorship costs and potential by two to three
times what it cost in advertising, point-of-sale, promotions etc.?
LO3: Sponsorship Marketing
Event Sponsorship
• Creating customised events
- This provides a brand with total control over locations, venues,
scheduling, content, marketing, and sanctioning of the event.
- It removes the problem of ‘clutter’ from too many other sponsors:
e.g. Red Bull’s flying and snowboarding events.
• Sponsorship of a location or team
- Etihad Airlines sponsors Etihad Stadium (formerly the Telstra Dome).
- This type of sponsorship can be difficult to measure.
• Ambushing
- Ambushing occurs when companies create a false impression
of sponsorship:
e.g. Holden flew a red blimp over the MCG during the 2006 Toyota
AFL Grand Final.
LO3: Sponsorship Marketing
Cause-related Marketing
• CRM involves giving support, often in the form of
funds, to charities or causes.
• CRM is an amalgam of PR, sales promotion and
corporate philanthropy:
• e.g. when a company pledges to contribute to a
designated cause every time the customer
undertakes some action that supports the
company and its brands.

LO2: Marketing Public Relations
• Public relations (PR) is concerned with the development
of positive relationships between the organisation and its
stakeholders (i.e. customers, employees, shareholders,
governments etc.).
• PR comprises two main strategies:
• PROACTIVE
• REACTIVE
• Marketing PR (MPR) is an active form of PR activities
designed to maximise opportunities that will improve an
organisation’s marketing communication objectives and
outcomes (e.g. product sales).
LO2: Marketing Public Relations
• MPR has a greater focus on customers and products.
• Rising costs and increased cynicism from customers has
given MPR a greater role in marketing communications.
• It is argued that MPR offers a more credible and
cost-effective way of facilitating marketing success.
• The internet has increased consumers’ desire for
‘authentic’ information.
• MPR messages are seen as more credible than PR
because they are reported by journalists.
• Samsung Product Launch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHR8efUn3SY
LO2: Marketing Public Relations

• Press releases:
- are a tactic aimed at winning positive, free coverage in the media

newsworthy topics
- are delivered to editors and journalists of newspapers, magazines
and other media.
• Product releases:

products
-can be audio-visual in format.
LO2: Marketing Public Relations

- are news releases quoting CEOs and other
corporate executives
- may address a wide variety of issues (e.g.
industry developments, future sales forecasts and
foreign competition)
- are published in the news section
- carry a significant degree of credibility.
LO2: Marketing Public Relations
Reactive MPR
• The public relations response to a crisis management type
situation is called reactive MPR.
• It aims to repair the company’s reputation, prevent market
erosion and regain lost sales.
• Quick and positive responses are imperative:
• e.g. the recall of Mars and Snickers products by
Masterfoods Australia following an attempt at extortion.
• Corporate response and crisis management
• Not all consumers are equally influenced by negative
publicity.
• However, a quick and effective response is always
required.
LO2: Marketing Public Relations

Selecting Events
Is this event one that the competition has previously sponsored? Is there a
risk that consumers will forget the actual sponsor?
Does the budget support the sponsorship costs and potential by two to three
times what it cost in advertising, point-of-sale, promotions etc.?

Event Sponsorship
• Creating customised events
- This provides a brand with total control over locations, venues, scheduling,
content, marketing, and sanctioning of the event.
- It removes the problem of ‘clutter’ from too many other sponsors:
e.g. Red Bull’s flying and snowboarding events.
• Sponsorship of a location or team
- Etihad Airlines sponsors Etihad Stadium (formerly the Telstra Dome).
- This type of sponsorship can be difficult to measure.
• Ambushing
- Ambushing occurs when companies create a false impression
of sponsorship:
e.g. Holden flew a red blimp over the MCG during the 2006 Toyota
AFL Grand Final.

Red Bull aggressively uses sponsorships to
build brand equity.

Cause-related Marketing
• CRM involves giving support, often in the form of
funds, to charities or causes.
• CRM is an amalgam of PR, sales promotion and
corporate philanthropy:
• e.g. when a company pledges to contribute to a
designated cause every time the customer
undertakes some action that supports the
company and its brands.
LO3: Sponsorship Marketing
Westpac is one example of an Australian brand that
uses CRM to connect with customers, potential
customers and shareholders.
