tangible.

more customer appeal
Price = Cost to the consumer only marketing instrument that does
not cost anything, but provides the resources to spend on production and
marketing activities. How does the price compare to competitors, what
does it say about the product (quality), do we give a discount, some
brands never give discounts because their products are timeless (Apple),
this is part of marketing strategy. Cheap can mean a bad quality or a fake
product watch
- List price the official price of a product, discounts can make a
product more attractive, but also mean losing margin and profits,
the customer can get used to discounts and so become a brand-
switcher.

New way of looking at marketing communications, from a customer’s point
of view.
Is the process of developing and impending various forms of persuasive
communication programs with customers and prospects over time. The
goal of IMC is to influence or directly affect the behavior of the selected
audience. IMC considers all sources of brand or company contacts which a
customer or prospect has with the product or the service as potential
delivery channels for furture messages. Further IMC makes use of all forms
of communication which are relevant to the customer or prospect and to
which they might be receptive.
Marketing mix & IMC
Core idea: communications instruments that traditionally have been used
independently of each other, are combined in such a way that a synergetic
effect is reached, and the resulting communications effort becomes
seamless or homogeneous.
In de ogen van de consument zijn er weinig verschillen tussen de (linker)
marketing vormen, daarom is het integreren van marketing zo belangrijk.
De verschillende vormen vanuit ogen van de consument bekijken. Elk
touchpoint, moet overeen komen met elkaar. De reden hiervoor is dat het
verwarrend voor de klant kan zijn om tegensprekende marketing vormen
te zien te krijgen van hetzelfde bericht en zorg voor minder effectieve
marketing Zorgen voor consistency & synergy
