INTRODUCTION
COMMUNICAN MIX
1.INTRODUCTION
In the present every customer is expecting a good quality and service for that price
they pay to the product, so with increasing expectations of the customer every company wants
provide good service optimally to increase their sales.
A service is an act or performance that one party can offer to another that is
essentially intangibly and does not result it the ownership of anything.
After industrial revolution there are many changes in the industrial scenario.
Industrialization and liberalization has lead to establishment of many MNC industries in
Indian market. Increasing technological knowledge about products in market.
The role of service and quality provided by manufactures is becoming very

important. some of the buyers are even taking them, as decision factors are the product
differentiation is becoming very narrow and all the products offering are becoming similar. So
with the changing scenario the quality and services of the BAJAJ showroom attracted me.
The present study, communication mix done at varun motors Bajaj showroom,
visakapatanam tries to find out the impact of Bajajs marketing communication on customers
of Bajaj.
COMMUNICAN MIX
1.1NEED FOR THE STUDY
Now-a-days customers are aware of what get for the value paid and they are
wasting no time to get it. Gone are the days when one has to book the vehicles to arrive.
Now it is the with people stopping at one of the showroom and finalizing the deal, model
and the make before walking quietly away.
Today consumers not only chose the best product for their requirement but also
demand value for his money. The bike showrooms also have undergone changes. They have
become single point of contract for the customers before and after purchase of the bikes.
The entry of MNCs is definitely a big boom to a bike market with high
customers expectations. This is turn has forced all bike manufactures to look away the means
of adding value to their product and service.
The future looks bright for the Indian bike buyer as well as the manufacher who
are willing to go that extra mile to satisfy consumers, so, it is essential management analysis
the organization market opportunity to find the market with there to untapped, which is base
for its existence. Hence, bike markets should evince interest to know the buyers perceptions
about their marketing communication.
COMMUNICAN MIX
1.2 Scope of the study
This study is confirmed only to the two wheeler owners owning BAJAJ motors
Vehicles brands only in Visakhapatnam. The study covered employees from various
Offices, businessmen, and students. The respondents are given questionnaire in petrol
Bunks, offices, and shops and asked to fill the questionnaire. For this study 100
Respondents are given questionnaire to fill the answers.
COMMUNICAN MIX
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To analyze the perception of prospective customers on the marketing

communication efforts by BAJAJ auto Ltd.
To study the impact of several marketing communication mix elements such as

advertising, sales promotion, publicity, direct marketing in regard to the sale of
two wheelers.
To study the companys public relations in building image/reputation.
To assess the effort of the company in promoting their products.
To assess the amount of awareness in their customers about the product offering
in BAJAJ.
COMMUNICAN MIX
1.4 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
As the time span was limited 45 days the entire sample customer could not be
covered in the course of the study.
The area selected was limited only to Vishakhapatnam.
Difficulty in collection of accurate data as there is possibility of based answers

from the respondents hence the information collected might not be an accurate
one.
The size of sample has been restricted to 100. Hence this small sample makes its
difficult to apply it to the universal group.
As the customer satisfaction is intangible and the measurement was difficult.
Change of customers addresses that was the communicated to the company has
provided to my study. Some customers were contacted personally surveyed
through telephonic interview.
COMMUNICAN MIX
1.5 METHODOLOGY FOR THE STUDY
The method of the study is through collection, study and analysis of data collected
from various sources and publications about the industry and company and also from the
internal sources with in the company. The data is collected mainly from the consumers.
The methodology of the study has involved the gathering of information initially
from the two sources.
Primary data
Secondary data.
PRIMARY DATA
Primary data is collected with the help of finalized questionnaire, which includes
first hand collection of information from consumers. It can be viewed as survey. The
questionnaire was especially designed to find the consumer behavior. Most of the information
is collected by meeting the consumers at different areas in Kakinada.
COMMUNICAN MIX
SECONDARY DATA
Information was gathered from company records, annual reports of company,
periodicals, articles and prescribed books.
After gathering the data from these two sources the data was analyzed tabulated,
interpretation was written down and finally suggestions were made regarding the entire project
a simple random sample of consumer has been taken from the particular area.
DATA ANALYSIS
A careful analysis on the obtained data has been tabulated and conclusions have been
given with help of simple statistical techniques like percentage.

CHAFTER 2
THE SCENARAO OF TWO-WHEELER
INDUSTRY IN INDIA
INDUSTRY PROFILE
COMMUNICAN MIX
Invention of Two-Wheeler :
The invention of the first two-wheeler is a much-debated issue. "Who invented the first
motorcycle?" may seem like a simple question, but the answer is quite complicated. Twowheelers owe their descent to the "safety" bicycle, i.e., bicycles with front and rear wheel of
the same size, with a pedal crank mechanism to drive the rear wheel. Those bicycles, in turn
descended from high-wheel bicycles.
The high-wheelers descended from an early type of pushbike, without pedals,
propelled by the rider's feet pushing against the ground. These appeared around 1800, used
iron-banded wagon wheel, and were called "bone-crushers," both for their jarring ride, and
their tendency to toss their riders. Gottlieb Daimler (who later teamed up with Karl Benz to
form the Daimler-Benz Corporation) is credited with building the first motorcycle in 1885,
one wheel in the front and one in the back, although it had a smaller spring-loaded outrigger
wheel on each side. It was constructed mostly of wood, the wheels were of the iron-banded
wooden-spooked wagon-type, it definitely had a bone-crusher chassis.
This two-wheeler was powered by a single-cylinder Otto-cycle engine, and may have
had a spray-type carburetor. (Wilhelm May Bach, Daimler's assistant, was working on the
invention of the spray carburetor at the time). If two wheels with steam propulsion can be
called a motorcycle, then the first one may have been American. One such machine was
demonstrated at fairs and circuses in the eastern US in 1867.
This was built by one Sylvester Howard Roper of Roxbury, Massachusetts. There is an
existing example of a Roper machine, dated 1869. A charcoal-fired two-cylinder engine,
COMMUNICAN MIX
whose connecting rods directly drive a crank on the rear wheel, powers it. This machine
predates the invention of the safety bicycle by many years, so its chassis is also based on the
"bone-crusher" bike.
History:
The Britannica Encyclopedia describes a motorcycle as a bicycle or tricycle propelled

by an internal-combustion engine (or, less often, by an electric engine).The motors on
minibuses, scooters, and mopeds, or motorized velocipedes, are usually air-cooled and range
from 25 to 250 cubic cm (1.5 to 15 cubic inches) in displacement; the multiple-cylinder
motorcycles have displacements of more than 1,300 cubic cm. The automobile was the reply
to the 19th-century dream of self-propelling the horse-drawn carriage. Similarly, the invention
of the motorcycle created the self-propelled bicycle.
The first commercial design was a three-wheeler built by Edward Butler in Great
Britain in 1884. This employed a horizontal single-cylinder gasoline engine mounted between
two steer able front wheels and connected by a drive chain to the rare wheel.
The 1900s saw the conversion of many bicycles, or pedal cycles by adding small,
centrally mounted spark ignition engines. There was then felt the need for reliable
constructions. This led to road trial tests and competition between manufacturers. Tourist
COMMUNICAN MIX
Trophy (TT) races were held on the Isle of Man in 1907 as reliability or endurance races. Such
were the proving ground for many new ideas from early two-stroke-cycle designs to
supercharged, multivalent engines mounted on aerodynamic, carbon-fibre reinforced
bodywork.
Two-wheelers owe their descent to the "safety" bicycle, i.e., bicycles with front and
rear wheels of the same size, with a pedal crank mechanism to drive the rear wheel. Those
bicycles, in turn descended from high-wheel bicycles. The high-wheelers descended from an
early type of pushbike, without pedals, propelled by the rider's feet pushing against the
ground. These appeared around 1800, used iron-banded wagon wheels, and were called "bonecrushers," both for their jarring ride, and their tendency to toss their riders.
Gottlieb Daimler (who later teamed up with Karl Benz to form the Daimler-Benz
Corporation) is credited with building the first motorcycle in 1885, one wheel in the front and
one in the back, although it had a smaller spring-loaded outrigger wheel on each side. It was
constructed mostly of wood, the wheels were of the iron-banded wooden-spooked wagontype, it definitely had a "bone-crusher" chassis! This two-wheeler was powered by a singlecylinder Otto-cycle engine, and may have had a spray-type carburetor. (Wilhelm May Bach,
Daimler's assistant, was working on the invention of the spray carburetor at the time).
If two wheels with steam propulsion can be called a motorcycle, then the first
one may have been American.
One such machine was demonstrated at fairs and circuses in the eastern US in 1867.
This was built by one Sylvester Howard Roper of Roxbury, Massachusetts. There is an
COMMUNICAN MIX
existing example of a Roper machine, dated 1869. A charcoal-fired two-cylinder engine,

whose connecting rods directly drive a crank on the rear wheel, powers it. This machine
predates the invention of the safety bicycle by many years, so its chassis is also based on the
"bone-crusher" bike.
Origin of Motor-Scooters :
Edward Butler, an Englishman, built the first motor tricycle in 1884. The first
gasoline-engine motorcycle to appear publicly was built by Gottlieb Daimler, of Bad
Constant, Germany, in 1885. The first practical engines and motorcycles were designed by the
French and Belgians, followed by British, German, Italian and American makers.
The popularity of the vehicle grew, especially after 1910. During World War I the
motorcycle was used by all branches of the armed forces in Europe, principally for
dispatching. After the war it enjoyed a sport vogue until the Great Depression began in 1929.
After World War II a revival of interest in motorcycles lasted into the late 20th century, with
the vehicle being used for high speed touring and sports competitions.
The practice of attaching auxiliary engines to bicycles in Western Europe and parts of
the United States led to the development during the 1950s of a new type of light motorcycle,
the moped. Originating in Germany as a 50-cubic-centimetre machine with simple controls
COMMUNICAN MIX
and low initial cost, it was largely free of licensing and insurance regulations in except in great
Brittan.
The more sophisticated motor scooter originated in Italy soon after World War
II, led by manufacture of a 125-cubic-centimetre model. Despite strong competition from
West Germany, France, Austria, and Britain, the Italian scooters maintained the lead in the
diminishing market. The scooter has small wheels from 20 to 36 cm (8 to 14 inches) in
diameter, and the rider sits inside the frame. Power units are placed low and close to the rear
wheel, which is driven by bevel gearing or chain. Capacities vary from 50 to 225 cubic cm,
and four-speed gearing is common.
Initial Hits:
Most of the development during this earliest of eras concentrated onthree and fourwheeled designs, since it was complex enough to get the machines running without having to
worry about them falling over. The next really notable two-wheeler was the Millet of 1892. It
used a 5-cylinder engine built as the hub of its rear wheel. The cylinders rotated with the
wheel, and its crankshaft constitutes the rare wheel.
The first really successful production two-wheeler though, was the Hildebrand & Wolf
Mueller, patented in Munich in 1894. It had a step-through frame, with its fuel tank mounted
on the down tube. The engine was a parallel twin, mounted low on the frame, with its
cylinders going fore-and-aft.
COMMUNICAN MIX
The connecting rods connected directly to a crank on the rear axle, and instead of
using heavy flywheels for energy storage between cylinder-firing, it used a pair of stout elastic
bands, one on each side outboard of the cylinders, to help out on the compression strokes. It
was water-cooled, and had a water tank/radiator built into the top of the rear fender.
In 1895, the French firm of DeDion-Buton built an engine that was to make the mass
production and common use of motorcycles possible. It was a small, light, high revving fourstroke single, and used battery-and-coil ignition, doing away with the troublesome hot-tube.
Bore and stroke figures of 50mm by 70mm gave a displacement of 138cc. A total loss
lubrication system was employed to drip oil into the crankcase through a metering valve,
which then sloshed around to lubricate and cool components before dumping it on the ground
via a breather.
DeDion-Buton used this 1/2 horsepower power plant in road going trikes, but the
engine was copied and used by everybody, including Indian and Harley-Davidson in the U.S.
Although a gentleman named Pennington built some machines around 1895 (it's uncertain
whether any of them actually ran), the first US production motorcycle was the Orient-Aster,
built by the Metz Company in Waltham, Massachusetts in 1898. It used an Aster engine that

Two Wheelers in India:
India, is the second largest producer of two-wheelers in the world. In the last few
years, the Indian two-wheeler industry has seen spectacular growth. The country stands next
to China and Japan in terms of production and sales respectively. Majority of Indians,
especially the youngsters prefer motorbikes rather than cars. Capturing a large share in the
two-wheeler industry, bikes and scooters cover a major segment. Bikes are considered to be
the favorite among the youth generation, as they help in easy commutation. Large varieties of
two wheelers are available in the market, known for their latest technology and enhanced
mileage. Indian bikes, scooters and mopeds represent style and class for both men and women
in India.
Two-wheelers are the most popular and highly sought out medium of transport in
India. The trend of owning two-wheelers is due to its
Economical price
Safety
Fuel-efficient
Comfort level
However, few Indian bike enthusiasts prefer high performance imported bikes. Some
of the most popular high-speed bikes are Suzuki Hayabusa, Kawasaki Ninja, Suzuki Zane.
COMMUNICAN MIX
Demand Drivers:
The demand for two-wheelers has been influenced by a number of factors over the past
five years. The key demand drivers for the growth of the two-wheeler industry are as follows:
Inadequate public transportation system, especially in the semi-urban and rural areas;
Increased availability of cheap consumer financing in the past 3-4 years;
Increasing availability of fuel-efficient and low-maintenance models;
Increasing urbanization, which creates a need for personal transportation;
Changes in the demographic profile;
Difference between two-wheeler and passenger car prices, which makes two-wheelers the
entry-level vehicle;
Steady increase in per capita income over the past five years; and
Increasing number of models with different features to satisfy diverse consumer needs.
While the demand drivers listed here operate at the broad level, segmental
demand is influenced by segment-specific factors.
Manufacturers:
As the following graph indicates, the Indian two-wheeler industry is highly
concentrated, with three players-Hero Honda Motors Ltd (HHML), Bajaj Auto Ltd (Bajaj
Auto) and TVS Motor Company Ltd (TVS) - accounting for over 80% of the industry sales as
COMMUNICAN MIX
in 9MFY2005. The other key players in the two-wheeler industry are Kinetic Motor Company
Ltd (KMCL), Kinetic Engineering Ltd (KEL), LML Ltd (LML), Yamaha Motors India Ltd
(Yamaha), Majestic Auto Ltd (Majestic Auto), Royal Enfield Ltd (REL) and Honda
Motorcycle & Scooter India (P) Ltd (HMSI).
Although the three players have dominated the market for a relative long period of
time, their individual market shares have undergone a major change. Bajaj Auto was the
undisputed market leader till FY2000, accounting for 32% of the two-wheeler industry
volumes in the country that year. Bajaj Auto dominance arose from its complete hold over the
scooter market. However, as the demand started shifting towards motorcycles
Technology
Hitherto, technology transfer to the Indian two-wheeler industry took place mainly
through: licensing and technical collaboration (as in the case of Bajaj Auto and LML); and
joint ventures (HHML).
COMMUNICAN MIX
A third form - that is, the 100% owned subsidiary route - found favour in the early
2000s. A case in point is HMSI, a 100% subsidiary of Honda, Japan. Table 2 details the
alliances of some major two-wheeler manufacturers in India.
Besides the below mentioned technology alliances, Suzuki Motor Corporation has
also followed the strategy of joint ventures (SMC reportedly acquired equity stake in Integra
Overseas Limited for manufacturing and marketing Suzuki motorcycles in India).

With the two-wheeler market, especially the motorcycle market, becoming

extremely competitive and the life cycle of products getting shorter, the ability to offer new
models to meet fast changing customer preferences has become imperative. In this context, the
ability to deliver newer products calls for sound technological backing and this has become
one of the critical differentiating factor among companies in the domestic market. Thus, the
players have increased their focus on research and development with some having
indigenously developed new models as well as improved technologies to cater to the domestic
market. Further, with exports being one of the thrust areas for some Indian two-wheeler
companies, the Indian original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have realized the need to
upgrade their technical capabilities. These relate to three main areas: fuel economy,
environmental compliance, and performance. In India, because of the cost-sensitive nature of
the market, fuel efficiency had been an interest area for manufacturers.
COMMUNICAN MIX
It is not only that the OEMs are increasing their focus on in-house R&D, they also
provide support to the vendors to upgrade the technology and also assist them striking
technological alliances.
TRENDS IN THE TWO-WHEELER INDUSTRY:

Companies raising capacity to meet the growing demand
All the major two-wheeler manufacturers, viz. Bajaj Auto, HHML, TYS, HMSI
and others, have increased their manufacturing capacities in the recent past. The total capacity
of these players stood at 7.8 million units per annum (FY2003) as against total market sales of
3.8 million units in FY2002. Most of the players have either expanded capacity, or converted
their existing capacities for scooters and mopeds into those for manufacturing motorcycles.
The move has been prompted by the rapid growth reported by the motorcycles segment since
FY1995.
HHML increased the capacity of its plants from 1.8 million units in FY2003 to
2.25 million in FY2004 and has been able to achieve 92% capacity utilization. In light of the
COMMUNICAN MIX
increase in demand for motorcycles, the company plans to set up a new plant. Since its entry in
the Indian market during FY2002, HMSI has aggressively expanded its capacity.
Niche markets also witnessing intense competition

A significant trend witnessed over the past five years is the inclination of
consumers towards products with superior features and styling. Better awareness about
international models has raised expectations of consumers on some key attributes, especially
quality, styling, and performance. High competitive intensity has prompted players to launch
vehicles with improved attributes at a price less than the competitive models.
In an effort to satisfy the distinct needs of consumers, producers are identifying

emerging consumer preferences and developing new models. For instance, in the motorcycles
segment, motorcycles with engine capacity over 150cc, is a segment that has witnessed
significant new product launches and hence, become more competitive. The indigenously
launched Pulsar 150 had met with success on its launch and thereafter, a host of models have
been launched in this segment by various players. While Bajaj Auto launched the Pulsars (150
COMMUNICAN MIX
and 180 cc) with digital twin spark technology (DTSi) that offers a powerful engine and fuel
efficiency of 125 cc models, model launches by other players include LML's Graptor/Beamer,
HMSI's Unicorn besides the HHML's CBZ (improved version launched in 2003-04) and TVS'
Fiero F2. Moreover, in the recent past, the motorcycle segment has witnessed launch of
vehicles with higher engine capacity (higher than 150cc) and power (higher than 15bhp).
These include models such as Bajaj Auto Eliminator and Royal Enfield's Thunderbird
followed by HHML's Karisma. Besides these, KEL has launched premium segment
motorcycles GF 170 and GF Laser besides launching products.
from the portfolio of its The products in this segment cater for style conscious
consumers. Quite a few players are developing models combining features such as higher
engine capacity" optimum mix of power and performance, and superior styling. However, the
extent of shift to these products would depend on the positioning of such products in terms of
price.
In the scooters segment, the market for plastic-bodied variomatic scooters

continues to witness growth in the scenario of overall decline in scooter volumes. Higher
volumes and growth are especially true for certain scooter models, such as Honda Activa, that
brought in new technology (besides variomatic transmission) to further differentiate
themselves. Thus, the need to differentiate and create a niche has led to companies
strengthening their research and development (R&D) capabilities and reducing the
development time for new models.
COMMUNICAN MIX
Increasing focus on exports
For the first nine months of FY2005, two-wheeler exports increased by 37% over
the corresponding previous, led mainly by motorcycles even as exports of other two-wheelers
were healthy. While motorcycle exports increased by 40%, scooter and moped exports
increased by 29% and 27% respectively.
Motorcycle exports by Bajaj Auto, HHML and TVS have reported a tobust growth
in FY2005 and are expected to increase further in the medium term.

Although the Indian two-wheeler manufacturers have forayed on their own in
COMMUNICAN MIX
their target export markets, there have been instances of tie-ups with the technology partners.
Bajaj Auto's tie-up with Kawasaki to jointly market Bajaj products in Philippines is a case in
point.These vehicles are being sent to Philippines in the completely built unit (CBU) form.
Other strategy of expanding international presence considered by few players is that of setting
up assembly lines in select South East Asian countries either on their own or in partnership.
Besides, plans of select overseas technology partners to source from their Indian
partners and plans of global majors to develop their Indian manufacturing unit as a sourcing
hub may also lead to increase in two-wheeler exports from India.
Companywise two-wheeler exports since FY2000 are presented in the following Table 4.

Outlook:
Since 1986, there is a technical tie-up of Bajaj Auto Ltd. with Kawasaki Heavy
Industries of Japan to manufacture state-of-art range of latest two-wheelers in India. The JV
has already given the Indian market the KB series, 4S and 4S Champion, Boxer, the Caliber
series, and Wind125.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries is a Fortune 500 company with a turnover of USD 10

billion (Rs. 45,840 crore). It has crafted new technologies for more than hundred years. The
technologies of KHI have redefined space systems, aircrafts, jet engines, ships, locomotive,
energy plants, automation system, construction machinery, and of course high reliability twowheelers.
KHI has given the world its legendary series of 600-1200cc Ninja and 1600 Vulcan
bikes. Straight from its design boards, the Kawasaki Bajaj Eliminator, India's first real cruiser
bike, redefines the pleasure of "biking" in looks as well as performance.

Company Flashback:
'Inspiring Confidence,' the tagline, has build up confidence, through excitement

engineering, not only to domestic consumers but also internationally. Established just eight
decades back in 1926 by Jamnalal Bajaj, the company has been vested with India's largest
exporter of two and three wheelers, 196,710 units in 2004-05, a great 26 per cent jump over
the previous year.
Bajaj Auto Ltd. sales have increased by approximately 21 per cent in the year
2004-05, which exceeds Rs 65.4 billion, a record in the history of the company. The gross
operating profit stands at Rs. 9.3 billion, again a record. The profits after tax of the BAL are
close to Rs. 7.7 billion, and the pre-tax return on operating capital is at an impressive 80 per
cent.
The strength of the company is its quality products, excellence in engineering and
design, and its ability to delight the customers. The Pulsar, introduced in November 2004, is
continually dominating the premium segment of the motorcycle market, helping to maintain
the market superiority. Discover DTSi, one more successful bike on Indian roads, is in the
'value' segment of the motorcycle market. It incorporates a high degree of power with fuel
efficiency of a 100 cc motorcycle.

Mission statement:
The draft auto plan aims to make the country a destination of choice for the design
and manufacture of automobiles and components.
The Draft Automotive Mission Plan 2006-2016, released by the Ministry of Heavy
Industries and Public Enterprises last week has a focussed mission statement of making the
country a "destination of choice" in Asia for the design and manufacture of automobiles and
components. In the process, the report sees the industry doubling its contribution to the Gross
Domestic Product to 10 per cent by 2016. Of course, incremental investment of $35-40 billion
will be necessary over the next 10 years to achieve this and most of it will have to be from
capacity expansion by existing players.

Marketing Strategies:
Marketing Strategies Being the leading manufacturer of two & three wheelers
market BAL(Bajaj Auto Ltd.) has been providing the best of the class models at competitive
prices. Most of the Bajaj models come loaded with the latest features within the price band
acceptable by the market. They regularly update the low price bikes with the latest features
like disk-brakes, anti-skid technology and dual suspension, etc.
Marketing Strategies BAL adopted different marketing strategies for different

models, few of them are discussed below: - Kawasaki 4S - First attempt by bajaj to make a
mark in the motorcycle segment. The target customer was the father in the family but the
target audience of the commercial was the son in the family.
COMMUNICAN MIX
The time at which Kawasaki 4S was launched Hero Honda was the market leader in
fuel-efficient bikes and Yamaha in the performance bikes. The commercial of Kawasaki 4S
had the punch line "Kyun Hero" means "now what hero" which reflected the aggressiveness in
the marketing front by the company. Caliber - The focus for the Caliber 115 was youth. And
though Bajaj made the bike look bigger and feel more powerful than its predecessor its
approach towards advertising is even more radically different this time around. The teaser
campaign and the emphasis on the Caliber 115 being a `Hoodibabaa' bike placed it as a trendy
motorcycle for the college-goers and the 25 plus executives both at the same time
Marketing Strategies Pulsar Discover Bajaj Auto's entire product portfolio, from the
entry-level to the premium, is being sold by the same dealers. The restructuring will involve
separate dealer networks catering to the urban and rural markets as well as its three-wheeler
and premium bikes segments. Bajaj Auto also plans to set-up an independent network of
dealers for the rural areas.
COMMUNICAN MIX
Industrial relations:
Bharatiya Kamgar Sena, the recognised union at Waluj, Aurangabad, wasde-recognised
by Industrial Court on 24 April 2007. Managementthereafter signed the wage settlement on 23
July 2007 with Bajaj Auto.Limited Employees Union, the union having the majority

CHAPTER 4
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
THEORITICAL FRAME WORK
COMMUNICAN MIX
MARKETING COMMUNICATION MIX:
An marketing communication mix Program can be built on the foundation

provided by the communication model. Some marketing scholars argue that the marketing
communications approach is a recent phenomenon. Others suggest the name is new, but the
concept has been around for a long time. They not that the value of effectively coordinating all
marketing functions and promotional activities has been mentioned in marketing literature for
many years.
Although MC programs have been described in several ways, the consensus is
to define them as follow: MC is the coordination and integration of all marketing
communication tools, avenues, and source with in a company into a seamless program that
maximizes the impact on consumers and others and users at a minimal cost. This integration
affects all of a firms business to-business, marketing channel, customer-focused,and
internally directed communications. Before further examine the MC concept, first consider the
traditional frame work of marketing from which it originated.
The marketing mix is the starting point. Promotion is one of the four
components of the mix. For years the traditional view was the promotional activities include
COMMUNICAN MIX
advertising, sales promotions and personal selling activities. Sales promotions actually
includes both sales trade promotions, with sales promotions aimed at end users or consumers
of goods and services, and trade promotions directed toward distributors and retailers. This
traditional view has changed some, due to the accountability issue that was discussed.
The need to integrated all promotional efforts has expanded beyond the three
traditional elements of advertising, sales promotion, and personal selling. Now, promotion also
includes activities such as database marketing, directmarketing, sponsorship marketing,
internet marketing, and public relations.
ADVERTISING AND THE MC PROCESS:
COMMUNICAN MIX
Advertising is a major component of marketing communications. It is also part of the

traditional promotions mix of advertising, consumer and trade promotions, and personal
selling. These functions, along with other activities such as direct marketing and public
relations efforts, from the basis for communicating with individual consumers and business
customers.
Any paid form of non personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods or
services by an identified sponsor. The role advertising plays varies by company, products, and
the marketing goals established by the firm. For some products and companies, advertising is
the central focus and the other components are designed to back the advertising campaign.
In both business-to-business and consumer promotions, the key to using the
advertising effectively, is see advertising as on the spokes in the wheel of the promotional
effort. The remaining spokes are the other components of the MC plan. MC includes clear
internal communication among department among with the messages send to external
customers and suppliers. Advertising can be used to build up a long term image for a product
or trigger quick sales. Advertising can efficiently reach geographically dispersed buyers.
Certain forms of advertising buyers. Certain forms of advertising can require a large budget:
where as other forms do not.
Just the presence of advertising might have an effect on sales: consumers might
believe that a heavily advertised. Brand must offer good value. Because of the many forms
COMMUNICAN MIX
and uses of advertising it is difficult to make generalizations. Yet the following qualities can
be noted.
1. Pervasiveness
2. Amplified expressiveness
3. Impersonality
Pervasiveness:
Advertising permits the seller to a repeat a message many times. It also allows the
buyer to receive and compare the messages of various competitors. Large scale advertising
says something positive about the sellers size, power and success.
Amplified expressiveness:
Advertising provides opportunities for dramatizing the company and its products
through the artful use of print, sound and color.
Impersonality:
The audience does not feel obligated to pay attention or respond to advertising.
Advertising is a monologue in front of, not a dialogue with, the audience.
PERSONAL SELLING:
COMMUNICAN MIX
A companys salespeople must follow the rules of fair competition, most states have
enacted deceptive sales acts that spell out what is not allowed. For ex, sales people may not
lie to consumers or mislead them about the advantages of buying a product.
To avoid bait-and-switch practices, sales peoples statements must match advertising
claims. Different rules apply to consumers who are called on at home verses those who go to
a store in search of a product. Much personal selling involves business to business trade.
In selling to businesses, sales people may not offer bribes to purchasing agents or to
others who can influence a sale. Personal selling is some times called the last 3 feet of the
marketing function, because 3 feet is the approximate distance between the sales person and
the customer on the retail sales floor as well as the distance across the desk from the sales rep
to a prospective business customer.
A bond or partnership between a sales representative and a client can be a valuable
asset. Personal selling takes place bin two major categories: ( 1 )retail sales and ( 2 )businessto-business selling.
COMMUNICAN MIX
Personal selling is the most effective at stages of buying process, particularly in

building up buyer preference, conviction, and action.
Personal selling has three distinctive qualities.
1. Personal interaction
2. Cultivation
3. Response
Personal interaction:
Personal selling involves an immediate and interactive relation ship between two or
more persons. Each party is able to observe the others reactions.
Cultivation:
Personal selling permits all kinds of relationship to spring up ranging from a matter
of fact selling relationship to a deep personal friendship.
Response:
Personal selling makes the buyer feel under some obligation for having listened to the
sales talk.
COMMUNICAN MIX
PUBLIC RELATIONS:
Building good relations with the companys various publics by obtaining favorable
publicity, building up a good corporate image, and handling or heading off unfavorable
rumors, stories, and events. Public relation departments may perform any or all of the
following function.
They are press relations, product publicity, public affairs, lobbying, and investor
relations. Many public relations activities are not considered typical marketing functionsThis
is because the marketing deportment concentrates on customers and the channel members en
route to those customers, such as wholesalers and retail out lets.
In contrast, the public relations department focuses on a variety of internal and external
stakeholders including employees, stockholders, public interest groups, the government,
society as a whole. One common goal of a public relations form is to get hits. A hit is the
mention of a companys name in a new story. Hits can be positive, negative, or even natural
in terms of their impact on a from.
The concept behind getting hits in the news is that the more a consumer sees the name of a
company in a news related context, the higher the brand or company awareness will
become.
COMMUNICAN MIX
This may be true, but it is important to consider the type of image that is being
developed. It may be a wiser strategy to seek fewer hits and to make sure that those hits
project the companying a positive light that also reinforces the forms MC theme.
Marketers tend to under use public relations yet a well-thought-out program
coordinated with the other communication mix elements can be extremely effective.
The appeal of public relations and publicity is based on three distinctive qualities.
1. High credibility
2. Ability to catch buyers off guard
3. Dramatization
High credibility:
News stories and features are more authentic and credible to readers than ads.
Ability to catch buyers off guard:

Public relations can reach prospects that prefer to avoid salespeople and advertisements.
Dramatization:
Public relations have the potential for dramatizing a company or product.
COMMUNICAN MIX
EVENTS AND EXPERIENCES:

There are many advertisining to events and experiences.
1. Relevant
2. Involving
3. Implicit
Relevant:
A well-chosen event or experience can be seen as highly relevant as the consumer gets
personally involved.
Involving:
Given their live, real time quality, consumer can find events and experiences more
actively engaging.
Implicit:
Events are more of an indirect soft-sell.
COMMUNICAN MIX
SALES PROMOTION:
Short term incentives two encourage the purchase or sale of a product or service.
Sales promotion induces a wide variety of promotion tools designed to stimulate earlier or
stronger market response. Sales promotion tools are used by most organizations, including
manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and not-for profit institutions.
They are targeted toward final buyers, retailers and whole sellers, business customers,
and members of the sales force. In developing a sales promotion programs. A company must
first set sales promotion objectives. & then select the best tools for accomplishing these
objectives sales promotion objectives.
Vary widely. Sellers may use consumer promotions to short-term sales or to help build
long-term market share objectives. For trade promotions include getting retailers to carry
new items and more inventories.
Getting them to advertise the product. And give it more shelf space, and getting them
to buy ahead. In general, rather then creating only short-term sales or temporary brand
switching, sales promotions should help to reinforce the products position & build long-term
customer relationships.
COMMUNICAN MIX
If properly designed, every sales promotion tool as the potential to build consumer
relationships. Companies use sales promotions tools-coupons, contests, premiums and the
like to draw a stronger and quicker buyer response. Sales promotion can be used for short run
affects such as to highlight product offers and boost sagging sales. Sales promotion tools
offer three distinctive benefits.
1. Communication
2. Incentive
3. Invitation
Communication:
They gain attention and may lead the consumer to the product.
Incentive:
They incorporate some concession, inducement, or contribution that gives value to
the consumer.
Invitation:
They include a distinct invitation to engage in the transaction now.
COMMUNICAN MIX
DIRECTING MARKETING:
Direct communication with care fully targeted individual consumers-the use of
telephone, mail, fax,email,the internet, and other tools to communicate directly with specific
consumers. One program that is closely tied to database marketing is direct marketing.
METHODS OF DIRECT MARKETING

Direct marketing is vending products to customers without the use of other channel
members. According to the marketing association, about 60% of a typical direct-marketing
budget is used for new customers; the other 40 percent is used to retain current customers
Many companies use multiple forms of direct marketing to increase response rates and
sales. In every type of program ,a toll-free number and the companys website address are
frequently displayed so that consumers know how to contact the company for additional
information and also to place orders.
COMMUNICAN MIX
The forms of direct marketing direct mail,tele marketing, internet markrting,share

three distinctive characteristics. Direct marketing is:
1. Customized
2. Up-to-date
3. Interactive
Customized:
The message can be prepared to appeal to the addressed individual.
Up-to-date:
A message can be prepared very quickly
Interactive:
The message can be changed depending on the persons response
COMMUNICAN MIX
MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS PLAN:

Marketing communication plan should coordinate efforts in all components of the
marketing mix. The purpose of the marketing plan is to achieve harmony in relaying
messages to customers and other publics.
The same plan integrates all promotional efforts. Marketing communication is the last
piece of the marketing communication mix puzzle and, according to the American marketing
assoc ion requires that the all brand contacts received by a customer or prospect for a
product,service,or organization are relevant to that person and consistent over time. what
does this mean to you and me?
Well for once, it necessitates a coherent go-to-market strategy and message, one that
is reflected at every customer contact point. It also means that the various sales and
marketing tools, methodologies and approaches you use for creating customers and in sync
and reflect the total whole of your business. Just like the various organs of your body work
in sync, so should the various parts of your business-and in this case, your marketing
communication mix complement one another as well?

THE VALUE OF MC PLANS
Several trends that are linked to the increasing importance of advertising marketing
communications programs. A major force compelling firms to seek greater advertising and
marketing communication is information technology.
Computers, the world wide web, and telecommunication have moved the world into an
information age where business and most consumers have to an abundance of marketing
information.
COMMUNICAN MIX
The challenge for marketers in the future will not just be gathering information;
the challenge will also involve sifting through an avalanche of statistics,ideas,and massages
and putting them into a format that company leader can use. When this is accomplished,
business leaders can make intelligent, informed decisions about how to market products.
Factors affecting the value of MC programs:

1. Development of information technology
2. Change in channel power
3. Increase in competition
4. Maturing markets
5. Brand parity
6. Integration of information by consumers
7. Decline in effectiveness of mass-media advertising
COMMUNICAN MIX
MESSAGE COTENT OF MCM:

The communication has to figure out an appeal or theme will procedure response.
1. Rational
2. Emotional
3. Moral
Rational appeals relate to the audiences self interest. Emotional appeals attempt to
stir up either negative or positive emotions that can motivate purchase. Communicators may
use positive emotional appeals such as love, pride, joy and humor.
Moral appeals are directed to the audiences sense of what is right and proper. Moral
appeal is the Salvation Army; while you are trying to figure out what to get the man who has
everything, dont forget the man who has nothing.
COMMUNICAN MIX
MESSAGE STRUCTURE OF MCM:

The communicator must also decide how to handle three message structure issues.
The first one is where to draw a conclusion or leave it to the audience.
The second message structure issue is whether to present the strongest arguments first or last.
The third message structure issue is whether to present a one-sided argument or a two-sided
argument.
MESSAGE FORMAT OF MCM

The marketing communication also needs a strong format for the message. In a
print ad, the communicator has to decide on the headline, copy, illustration, and color. To
attract Attention, advertisers can use novelty and contrast; eye-catching pictures and
headlines; Distinctive formats massage is to be carried over the radio, the communicator has
to choose world, sound and voices.
The sound of an announcer promoting banking services should be different from
one promoting quality furniture. If the message is to be carried on television or in person,
then all these elements plus body language have to be planned. Presenters plan their
experession, gestures, dress, posture, and hairstyles.
COMMUNICAN MIX
MANAGING THE MARKETING COMMUNICATION MIX PROCESS:

As defined by the American of advertising agencies, marketing communication is a
concept of marketing communications planning that recognizes the added value of a
comprehensive plan. Such a plan evaluates the strategic roles of a variety of communications
disciplines- for example, general advertising, direct response, sales promotion and public
relations- and combines these disciplines to provide clarity,consistency,and maximum impact
through the seamless of messages.
Unfortunately, many companies still rely on one or two communication tools.
These practice pessimists in spite of the fragmenting of mass markets in to a multitude of
minimarkets, each requiring its own approach; the proliferation of new types of media; and
the growing sophistication of consumers.
The wide range of communication tools, messages, and audiences makes it
imperative that companies move toward marketing communications. Companies must adopt
360-degree view of consumers to fully understand all the different ways that
communications can affect consumer behavior in their daily lives.
Although the second campaign was more expensive, it resulted in a 15% increase in
the number of new accounts compared with direct mail alone. Research has also shown that
promotions can be more effective when combined with advertising.
COMMUNICAN MIX
The awareness and attitudes created by advertising campaigns can improve the
success of more direct sales pitches. Marketing insight: coordinating media to build brand
equity describes how to leverage television advertising in other media.
Many companies are coordinating their online and offline communications
activities. About a third of advertisers who bought television advertising for the 20022003season bought ad space on the stations web sites. Listing URL web addresses in ads and
on packages allows people to more fully explore a companys products, find store locations,
and get more product or service info.
Danton makes it a priority to drive traffic to its dennon yogurt homepage so that
the company can benefit from the twin paybacks of (1) forging direct relationships with
customers and (2) building a database of its best customers whose loyalty can be
strengthened with more targeted coupon and direct-mail promotional efforts. It has been
highly successful in linking its online and offline efforts. In 2001,it and another joined forces
COMMUNICAN MIX
IMPLEMENTING MCM:
Marketing communication has been slow to take hold for several reasons. Large
companies often employ several communications specialists to work with their brand
managers who may know comparatively use a large number of ad agencies located
communications and image diffusion.
Today, however, a few large agencies have substantially improved their integrated
offerings. to facilitate one-stop shopping, major ad agencies have acquired promotion
agencies. Many international clients have opted to put a substantial portion of their
communications work trough one agency. An example is turning all of its advertising over to
Ogilvy to attain uniform branding. The result is integrated and more effective marketing
communications and a much lower total communication cost.
Marketing communications can produce stronger message consistency and greater
sales impact. It force management to think about every way the customer comes in contact
with the company, how the company communicates its positioning, the relative importance
of each vehicle, and timing issues.
It gives someone the responsibility-where none existed before-to unify the companys
brand images and messages as they come through thousands of company activities.MC
should improve the companys ability to reach the right customers with the right messages at
the right time and in the right place.
