What advertisers do as an integral part of their marketing communications strategies is create small or what are sometimes called "micro sites" and heavily populate them with keywords that the advertiser pays for advertisements on Google with. This marketing technique is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and the use of Google AdWords advertisements gives advertisers both organic and paid search advantages when a potential customer uses Google to find out what's new with their favorite driver or golfer. A prime example of an advertiser using this technique of creating a micro site, populating it with keywords and then relying both on Google AdWords in addition to organic search through Google itself is EA Sports. Using this marketing communications strategy on the Web, EA Sports' link comes up on Google before Nike, which is quite a feat given how much Nike invests in Tiger Woods' sponsorship. EA Sports also works with…

Marketing Communications Question
This approach to defining a price adjustment driven by the strength of the Canadian dollar is not as effective as concentrating on why Chrysler as a brand in general, and specific models in particular, are worth considering over competing brands and models. Only focusing on price tends to drive down the value of a brand and its vehicles over time and implies that cars are price-elastic. This is in fact certainly not the case, cars are definitely not elastic in their demand curves. They are much more price inelastic and therefore require more than just a focus on price to sell them. The advertisement needs to concentrate more on the value of the Chrysler car first, not pushing on price alone as demand will prove to be inelastic over time.

Marketing communications has expanded immeasurably in importance since the 1950s and a variety of concepts have been developed since then. Their function is to use promotional techniques to underpin and support brand identity and to move products and services forward into the hands of the paying consumer recipients.
My essay focuses on the following marketing communications concepts: "Marketing Mix and the 4P's of Marketing" and "Marketing Mix and the 4C's of Marketing). Marketing Mix: Marketing Mix is a marketing concept introduced by Neil H. Borden
, in his American marketing Association presidential address in 1953. It is an integrated set of marketing "tactics" to realize organizational objectives and create a closer higher relationship between companies and customers.
The selection of a target market leads the marketers to focus their activities towards profitability of the target segment. For this purpose they need to manipulate many variables. Such variables were named "Marketing…
Instead, it cultivates an edgy consumer image, and has asked cutting-edge designers to create exclusive clothing, makeup, and chocolate lines for the retailer that are not priced at extreme bargain rates, but have a reputation for quality at moderate prices. Bright colors, clean stores, and well-lit aisles are all characteristic of Target. Target is not simply an inexpensive place to shop, but a fun place to shop. Like Wal-Mart Target does focus on middle-income consumers with families. But its image also attracts higher-end consumers who wish to find bargains on clothing basics, as well as household items. Its image is of uniqueness and personalization, rather than simply of providing low-cost items.
If the economy continues to worsen, more and more of those high-income consumers looking to save a few pennies are likely to go fleeing to Target. Target has not had a chance to fully respond to the swift and…
3.2 Segmentation
The DKNY perfumes are divided into two segments, based on the consumer types they target -- perfumes for women and colognes for men. The main segment is represented by perfumes for women.
3.3 Targeting
The main market targeted by Donna Karan New York is constituted by above the average income women.
3.4 Positioning
The positioning strategy used by Donna Karan New York is a dual one. On the one hand, the DKNY perfumes are promoted as high quality, original perfumes. They have been created to enchant the senses of the buyers and they are sold at prices starting with $100 per bottle. On the other hand, Donna Karan has also strived to come close to the average American women and allow them to feel special by using a DKNY perfume. This has virtually translated into the creation of perfumes to be retailed at more affordable prices.

Need for an Integrated Marketing Communications Program: The LPMI program needs an integrated marketing program to create awareness and build positive images of the concept, and to generate interest and patronage among its target demographic. Focus group studies and research commissioned during LPMI program development demonstrated that the Army Special Forces experiment that gave rise to the concept is, coincidentally, the optimal marketing tool.

Integrated Marketing Communications
Communication being an important element of organizations needs to be integrated in all areas of working so that the purpose, the goals, objectives, and the mission with which the organization is formed are achieved successfully. The concept of integrated marketing is applied everywhere in the world by almost more than half of the organizations. Out of which many are the renowned brands who precisely used their marketing communications to build this spot for themselves. The marketing communications require that all concepts of marketing communication come together to combine as synergy and perform one unified function for building the brand. Integrated marketing communications has been a long gone concept used by the famous brands and the reason why not all brands are successful at implementing is that it takes a critical analytical approach to understand how the different communications combine together with what ratio to form a strong…

CONSUME PSYCHOLOGY & MAKETING COMMUNICATIONS
Consumer Psychology
The three articles of focus for this paper come from reputable sources. One article comes from the International Honor Society in Psychology, from The Economist, and from a leading academic at the University of Southern California. Each article has insight into the nature of consumer psychology and its relationship to marketing communications, as they are distinct, yet closely related. As may be immediately inferred, consumer psychology consists of a constellation of psychological subtopics and concepts with respect to all aspects of consumer behavior. Consumers are people who purchase products. Consumer behavior is a complex and dynamic area which is of great concern and relevance to many professionals across fields, psychology notwithstanding. Consumer psychology on a very basic level is the study of relations between consumers and what they consume. Products are purchased and used. Consumer psychology studies patterns and processes in product and…

The supermarkets did not have to deal with refrigeration issues as whole milk came in powder form from foreign firms. However with the appearance of Almarai in 1970s, things changed drastically and fresh cow milk along with laban became very popular products in Saudi Arabia.
For deeper market penetration, effective marketing initiative was required and that came in the form of wide media advertising campaigns along with good packaging designs that changed the perception and moved people to purchase fresh products. The campaigns were so successful that they can be compared to any high profile brand campaign internationally. First of all the word Almarai meant green pastures and this was presented in visually aesthetic form on both advertisements as well as on the package designs. It was very appealing and conveyed the idea of fresh milk effectively and the sales of fresh packaged milk rose substantially in Saudi Arabia with…

Marketing Communication for Subway Restaurant
Marketing for any product or any service depends on the inherent reasons for the demand of that product or service. Thus the relative importance of different aspects is not the same for the marketing of different products or services. A restaurant is a place all of us go for a meal, bit, in our own minds, the rationale for going to different types or classes of restaurants are different. This determines the people who will go to that particular restaurant and what is the level of prices that he expects to pay. Some high class restaurants may get a crowd who just want to be seen there to improve their social status. ut, subway restaurants are for the hoi polloi.

International Marketing Communication Perspective
There are challenges that face organizations, which engage in global marketing. This form of cross border marketing involves diversity cultural backgrounds. It is pertinent to note that each country has distinctive needs relating to producing goods for them. International marketing requires a comprehensive understanding of the needs of each target market. This study provides a comprehensive review of the differences and similarities that exist between the marketing needs of UAE and Indonesia (Govers, 2009).
Marketing communications
The aim of marketing communication is to convey the accurate information to the targeted group of people. In Indonesia and UAE, the populations are largely Muslim. The right choices to be made as a marketer have to be made to ensure any message delivered to the people is helpful to the brand being marketed. These require a communication strategy when addressing the target market. A communication strategy will help in…

Market Segments
Understanding the characteristics of the target market is a crucial step in developing the branding and marketing plan. This basically involves segmenting consumers. Consumers can be segmented based on their demographic, geographic, behavioral, and psychographic characteristics (Lamb, Hair & McDaniel, 2009). For the automobile industry, consumers can be segmented as follows.
Demographic characteristics
Individuals, male and female, families, middle- to high income, businesses, and professionals
Geographic characteristics
Behavioral characteristics
First-time buyers, repeat buyers, seeking functional benefits, with family needs, seeking social status benefits, seeking quality cars, seeking off-road capabilities.
Psychographic characteristics
Enthusiastic about cars
As per the table above, the target market is broad. It encompasses middle- to high-income individuals and families as well as professionals and business in the US seeking to buy a car for mobility, status, and/or off-road usage. With an understanding of the market segments, the marketing mix and other elements of the marketing…
Channel Comparison
It is highly important for marketing and communication specialists to be able to ascertain which media channels are the most effective for communicating with potential customers. To that end, Peter Danaher and John Rossiter's journal article, Comparing perceptions of marketing communication channels, should be read with extreme interest, as the author's undertook a fairly lengthy, well researched study project to compare a range of attributes for both traditional media as well as for emergent, technology-based media, which are vying for modern consumers' attention (Danaher & Rossiter, 2009). Additionally, the study determined whether traditional or emergent media was more effective in engaging customers, and whether or not senders of advertising information had accurate perceptions about the receivers' thoughts on the communication channels used to convey their advertising messages. A number of valuable findings were uncovered during the research, which revealed that despite the near ubiquity of emails and text…

Target's Strength in Branding Strategies Continue
As Target continually refines its branding strategy to set high expectations for shopping visits and then fulfills them through exceptional operational execution and having the right product in the right place at the right time, the company's future branding strategies will further differentiate them from discounter Wal-Mart. First, Target will continue to underscore its uniqueness with a Go International campaign features English designer Alice Temperley, known for her highly feminine designs, and also the development of an entirely new line of jewelry from well-known os Angeles-based designer Dominque Cohen (Heller, 2006). These strategies and comparable ones to them are meant to continually reinforce the unique value proposition of the store chain and deliver more value than customers expect, further earning greater levels of loyalty over the long-term.

One advantage is that they usually attract attention since they are placed where they can be seen by many people. In most situations, whether the people like it or not, they will be forced to view the advertisement. This creates some impact of the advertisement Schmit & Kaiser, 2004()
The second advantage is that they can reach a larger population of people as a result of the advertisement being viewed by many people who regularly use the routes where the advertisement has been placed.

An important aspect of the marketing management plan relates to communication. Key internal stakeholders must be kept informed of the objectives of the marketing plan, progress, as well as any relevant updates as the implementation of the plan proceeds (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). Effective engagement of internal stakeholders is crucial if the desired outcomes are to be achieved. When internal stakeholders are well informed of the marketing objectives, they are likely to be more committed to the initiative, hence increasing the success of the initiative. At HtW, internal stakeholders mainly include the board, the management, and members of staff. The board acts as the overall decision making organ of the organization. It formulates polices and the strategic direction of the organization and supervises the management. Communicating the marketing objectives and progress to the board would, therefore, be vital. The board requires such information for purposes of decision making on aspects…
Marketing Channels and Methods -- the New Svelte Shape of McDonald's
Objectives & Mission Statement
Although McDonald's latest advertising slogan, as proclaimed on its 2005 website, is "I'm lovin' it," (McDonald's Official ebsite, 2005), shareholders in the fast food company have not be equally enamored of its current stock performance and plummeting sales. (The Rogue Investor, 2005) Thus, the objectives of the new McDonald's marketing campaign must be to undo some of the economic and public relations damage done to the company by the negative press generated by the success of Morgan Spurlock's film 'Supersize Me.' Over the course of the year, McDonald's wishes to gain a greater percentage of the revenue of the current fast food market than its most prominent burger-oriented competitors endy's and Burger King. McDonald's also wishes to gain some of the type of positive media as generated by the sandwich chain Subway. The Subway Diet…

Pricing Strategy
There are different approaches to pricing strategy. The pricing strategy should fit within the context of the overall marketing strategy. Among the different options for pricing strategy are revenue maximization, profit maximization, survival, skim pricing, and penetration pricing (NetMBA, 2010). There are also approaches such as cost-plus that take into account the company's cost structure but in a competitive marketplace it is more normal that the pricing strategy reflects what competitors are doing. For MegaWidget, the $10 price tag comes with a sales target of one million new units. The MegaWidget only costs $3 to produce, so the price is not based on the cost. It is based on penetration pricing strategy. Ten dollars is a threshold, one that consumes will notice more -- at ten dollars or less a consumer is willing to purchase the product on impulse. As a result of that, the MegaWidget should…

The internet has given marketers a great deal of flexibility of time and message, though it must be clear that contrary to the previous assumptions there are limits to advertising ability and revenue. The tool enters the individuals home, just as direct marketing does and often offers links to direct purchase of the product advertised. Television, also enters the consumers home, and offers product information and brand exposure. Radio is often a mode of marketing that is accessed in transit, where millions of people listen to the radio as they drive and remember products, services and events that they hear about on the radio. Word of mouth marketing is important as it provides a personal touch to the product or service as testimonial can be the key to product awareness and utilization. (Ryans, 1996, p. 63)

10. Foreign market growth is one of the biggest issues in business today and many even small and medium sized companies often direct resources toward finding and establishing foreign market locations in the increasingly global economy. There are several risks involved with entering a foreign market and at least three are, non-existent or low consumer demand for product, competition of local market and lastly legal and ethical issues that determine the market situation. Some demand situations are unknown until a service or product has been exposed to a foreign market, and historical consumer desires must be discovered before entrance, sometimes this is difficult as if a consumer is unaware of a product they do not know if they would buy it or use it, they may have historical and traditional desires to utilize existing market products and not care to try something new, in which case a risk would be great. Competition in local markets is often a risk that a foreign company must weigh as there are often similar products and services available on a local scale that have a market hold, without proper information and/or research a risk could be great for product not fitting in to an existing market, because local providers already serve the niche. Lastly, legal issues are often unknown to the foreign provider, as some communities are more or less controlled by government entities, through non-free market set ups. Without such information the foreign provider takes great risk in having his goods and/or services sanctioned, overtaxed, refused or even confiscated in a foreign market that is not freely active, as many across the globe are.

2. What conclusions, if any, can we draw from the results?
There are numerous conclusions we can deduce from the campaign results. For one, teenagers are not influenced by celebrity endorsements as believed. This runs contrary to what the general public accepts as truth in regards to celebrity endorsement and its influence on teenage behavior. Both ads involving the celebrity did not fair as well as the ads with more real life implications. I believe an appropriate corollary then would be that teenagers are in fact immune to the ostentatious lifestyles of celebrities. Teenagers do not succumb to their banal attempts to impact their decisions in personal matters. In fact, it is this delusion of grandeur on the part of celebrities that causes the message to not seem genuine in the minds of teenagers. Equally as impressive, is the data concerning pragmatic and simple scenarios. Teenager resonate with adds the…
Marketing Challenge
The primary marketing challenge at Flare Fragrances is to develop an appropriate and competitive marketing strategy for the new Savvy brand to be launched in 2009. The specific issues in this challenge include the question of whether to launch Savvy in the first place, whether to distribute it through conventional or through new channels, and whether to associate it with the Loveliest umbrella brand or to give it a separate identity.
The industry is experiencing a decline because of the economic crisis and sales at Flare Fragrances grew by only 2% in 2008 although overall performance was average given the economic challenges. Improving performance in the coming years will require a significant improvement in sales, either through existing or new products. Advertising expenditure is also a major question to be addressed. A major competitor, Aromatique, plans to introduce Dulcet, a product similar to Savvy for the same target…

It was especially effective when evaluated for the specific demographic segmentation the organization was targeting. Young adult males were particularly inclined to watch the commercial, thanks to the buxom, bikini-clad beauty as the star. In addition, young adult females were more likely to relate to the star of commercial, more so than if they had cast a middle-aged housewife. Although these demographics were more likely to watch the commercial, such a small portion of the commercial was devoted to the actual message, it's difficult to determine the effectiveness on whether or not these viewers would take action, such as learning more about breast cancer or conducting monthly self breast exams, or other behaviors that would help with early detection of breast cancer, to ensure the likelihood of survival.

This behavior is supported by Nordstrom's management that encourages its employees to exceed their job requirements when assisting customers. From this point-of-view, there are numerous differences between Nordstrom and most of its competitors. For example, Sears is one of the department stores that do not seem to pay that much attention to the quality of customer service. Sears' merger with Kmart was supposed to improve customer experience, but the numerous complaints from customers reveal a different situation. Customers complain about the modifications made within the stores, which confuse them, and make it difficult for them to identify the products they are interested in. Also, customers complain about the fact that the staff at Sears is not able to properly assist them.

Individual selling strategy normally entails the prevailing marketing communications. Marketing communications are normally the messages that deal with the prevailing purchaser -retailer exhibitions, promotions accompanied by the public relations. Marketing interactions that entails to the prevailing personal selling are categorized into dual classes namely the impersonal and personal (John, 2002, pp 56-87).
Impersonal selling
The impersonal entails the process of
Many companies struggle with consistency over time with their P. Finally, personal selling is a critical component of any integration marketing strategy. The advantages of personal selling are that companies have a chance to create personal relationships with customers and understand their unmet needs, greater trust is created through more effective communication, and the key messages of a company are more clearly communicated. The cons or negatives of personal selling include its costs, as it is very expensive to have a direct sales force in the field. Second, sales forces tend to turn over rapidly or churn which becomes problematic as new sales people need to be trained. Finally direct sales can easily turn into business development or lose focus on selling when a sales team is not held accountable for its quota.

Constant reformation of the demand in the market leads to constant reformation of the marketing plans and design which in turn leads to constant revision of the organizational setup and structure.
As can be evidently seen from the definition of "Marketing" given above, the main aim of marketing is to bridge the customers and the producers so that the demands of the customers are met and the producers have the optimum opportunities to gain profits and thrive in competition. This is one of the main reasons why a very lucid trend of customer-focused organizational frameworks are coming more into view, the company owners have realized that the growing competition and choices available to the customers have made their demands more complex and strenuous and to keep up with the changing market demands, the market planning and the organizational structures need to be more and more flexible, efficient, observant and swift…

Single-sourcing which is the characteristic of Miller Inc. could be a recipe of disaster should the supplier fail. Contingency plans for supplies need to be considered.
The constrant production nature of the product leads to huge strains on personnel and machinery.
Product line and client base lack diversification.
While the small number of staff promotes camaraderie, unfortunately, it also impedes growth and development.
Miller Inc. is reactive rather than proactive in its marketing efforts. This is as a result of its heavy reliance on mass-media advertising for obtaining new business.
The current facilities of Miller Inc. are crowded thus there is little room for expansion of workforce or equipment.

The same technique will be used to collect data from prospective customers who initially expressed interest or who requested information about the service but ultimately decided not to purchase the product.

The same technique will be used to collect data from prospective customers who initially expressed interest or who requested information about the service but ultimately decided not to purchase the product. Those surveys will address the extent to which those decisions may have been functions of the failure of marketing initiatives to inspire prospective customers to make follow-up inquiries or further consider purchasing the service.
It remains important, however, that the company does not violate any of the prevailing laws with respect to marketing. Laws concerning false advertising and intellectual property (especially trademark) violations must be paid due attention when developing the marketing strategy. At present, BCC seems to be well clear of any laws on these subjects, but they are worth acquiring knowledge of nevertheless.
Conclusion
Bathurst Carbon Cutters cannot reject the idea of marketing outright, for two reasons. The first is that the notion of marketing as destructive is false, especially given that the underlying theory of the business appears to be that convincing more Bathurst residents to utilize bicycles will ultimately benefit the environment. If this is the case, then the business is faced with an ethical dilemma should it proceed, not only because marketing activity is inevitable but because the name of the company conveys to the consumer the idea of…

What Salesforce does is create microsites, Twitter accounts, Facebook fan pages and LinkedIn accounts for their events, so that potential attendees can learn about the events' details through the channels that best fit their needs (Bernoff, Li, 2008). Each of these online approaches Salesforce uses are also heavily supported by video and audio clips, and an entire range of digital content that can be downloaded and played anytime potential attendees choose to. All of these aspects of strategies are also measured using online analytics as well, which are critical for all event marketing and selling strategies (Schwartz, 2011).
Conclusion
Of the many marketing and selling strategies for events, three of the more effective ones based on research include promoting online events in real-time, marketing an event using the natural beauty or attractiveness of the venue, and marketing events with a celebrity or thought leader. All three have proven to be…

The direct selling strategy will be a website that will include a product configuration application. A distribution partner portal will also be created which gives distributors and dealers the ability to customize the Liberta Ultralight in quantity for their customers as well. The use of channel strategies to actively promote the use of mass customization as a product differentiator will also be accomplished through intensive dealer and channel training (Swiercz, Lydon, 388). Finally the use of an integrated Partner Relationship Management (PRM) system that will give channel partners the flexibility to provide resellers with support on a 24/7 basis will also be created. The intent is to create enough support for channel strategies so they can produce up to 60 -- 70% of overall revenue for the product line.

Marketing
Mass marketing is differentiated from target marketing, in that the target customer is pretty much everybody. A firm that has a target market will either have all of its sales, or a significant portion of them, in an specific identifiable group. Thus, the product should span across race, gender, age and geography. Such a product's target market would be better understood in terms of who doesn't buy it than who does. Wal-Mart would be a good example of a mass market retailer, based on their size, their geographic spread, the wide variety of products that they sell and the ubiquitous nature of many of those products -- many mass market retailers target very broad groups (Investopedia, 2015).
A mass market product, therefore, would be a product that broadly appeals. I will go with Charmin. The target market for Charmin is almost everybody. There are only a few groups that…

In an online setting, owley suggests that marketers do not need to "speculate about customer needs" because they can use the Internet to download customer's buying profiles and enhance their customer service and product development strategies based on the information they receive from online reports. Further, the author suggests advertising can be more targeted because it is more easily tracked in an online setting vs. An offline setting. owley (2004) goes on to assert that the combination of online and offline services allows for more customization, and enables "mutual dependence" which in turn creates complex and diversified communities inclusive of customers and businesses. Organizations that utilize the Internet wholly, rather than partially, are more likely to become targets for innovation, research and development, which will only advance their goals in the short- and long-term (owley, 2004, p. 39).

There are the fitness fanatics or "junkies" (Scott, Solomon, 2003), the "social butterflies" who attend to socialize and fulfill their need for affiliation. The authors also observe there are also the activists and survivors as well. The cathartic nature of the events for those who have survived or know of someone who survived is a powerful emotional experience, and one that bonds consumers together at these events (Scott, Solomon, 2003). The article concludes with closure of the research results and the development of recommendations for including cause-related marketing programs for participants as well.
My Critique
Admirable in their pursuit of new insights into the motivations and segmentation of participants in cause-related sports events, the authors provide insights into this dynamic and its implications for marketing strategies. It is…

Marketing Strategy
The best marketing strategy will to coordinate efforts with all products that are spin offs of the movie. y creating a joint marketing strategy, all producers will benefit because all the products are really selling the same thing: the Transformer label. Consumers will not see each product as a separate entity but instead as part of the Transformer franchise. Thus, it is important to create a concise and coordinated marketing message. For example, if the movie is targeted towards adults but other products are targeted towards grade school kids, the marketing strategies will work against each other. Instead, the franchise as a whole needs to market the entire image towards a particular, targeted market. In this case it will be towards those individuals who grew up with, and are therefore familiar with, the Transformers. Namely, males between the ages of twenty-five and forty. This is also one the…

Only the strongest of marketing campaigns has this kind of resonance. There are certainly other characters that have strong brand associations and have entered into iconic status -- onald McDonald, Toucan Sam, the Geico gecko are all pretty good examples -- and they have done so with heavy repetition, strong appeal to consumers and the ability to instantly convey the same values as the brand. On that level, the Energizer bunny has had enduring appeal that seems like it will never run out of steam.
An interesting tidbit about the Energizer Bunny, is that the character was created in response to Duracell letting their trademark lapse on the Duracell bunny, a character that it still uses in other parts of the world. The Energizer bunny was just a spoof on the Duracell character, but resonated with consumers to a much higher degree, creating an instant marketing hit. The bunny has…

The product is a service, the service of home repair. There are several elements to this service. These include consultation, repair and follow-up service. The service staff will be a team of professionals, working on contract to the company. They will all be experienced professionals in their fields (e.g. plumbers, electricians, handymen, etc.). The physical environment in which the service will be performed is at the customer site, as the repair work will be done to residential and commercial properties. The process is going to be different each time, but consists of the basic steps of consultation and estimate, work design, work, and post-work follow-up.
Distribution refers to how the service will be distributed. The function of a distribution channel is to provide a link between production and consumption (Tutor2U.net, 2011). In a service industry, the two are closely linked. The workers who will provide the repairs will do…

2.3. Human Barriers
As is evident from the above discussion, while many of the barriers to e-marketing are technological and demographic in nature, what is also apparent from the literature on the subject is that there are many human barriers to these developments. Central to these human barriers is resistance to change. As one pundit states, there are a number of reasons why people may be unwilling to accept organizational and technological changes implicit in e-marketing; for example when their stability and security is threatened and "… Coping strategies and comfort zones are affected." (Harris & Dennis, 2002, p. 74) This can occur when new emerging technologies are introduced.
The growth of e-marketing methods can therefore cause anxiety in some people who may feel threatened by these new technologies and approaches to marketing and…

Integrated Marketing Communications
Question 1
Integrated marketing communications (IMC) is that communication strategy that makes the marketing departed interconnected, as opposed to it having contrasting functions. IMC basically integrates a company’s marketing channels and collateral into one reliable messaging system. These channels may include direct mail, social media, and PR, among others. One company that has notably used this approach is Apple Inc, which is famous for its brand iPhone. From the day of release, June 2007, iPhone has has undergone yearly modifications to better the brand. (Ktourgelis, 2016)
Apple Inc carried out one of the most successful marketing campaigns for its brand. Two major factors led to this success. Firstly, Apple’s smart phone was a new product in the market. Secondly, they concentrated on customers who could adopt the new smart phone and influence the rest of the population. The iPhone was revolutionary in itself, since it combined phone…
Managing Emotions Among Salespersons
Personal selling is a very dynamic line of work and the ability of a salesperson to manage their emotion is very important. This research will look at the role salespeople's ability to manage their emotion has on their performance and behavior. It will bring to light an emotion regulation strategy which is adaptive for the management of negative emotions. A conceptual framework will be built to bring to light the place of cognitive reappraisal on the emotional well-being of salespeople as well as their motivation. The expected results are that there is a positive relation between adaptive selling behavior and cognitive reappraisal. Moreover, there is a negative relationship between cognitive reappraisal and emotional exhaustion and ruminative implications (Kemp et al., 2012).

Marketing
Assessing the Varying Definitions of Marketing
The original concepts of marketing have as their basis the objective of having the customer be at the center of any enterprise, with all systems, processes and strategies aligned to fulfill their requirements and needs. Dr. Kotler in explaining the marketing concept shows how the operating philosophy of any business putting the customer at its center leads to greater value being delivered and strong financial viability over time (Cunningham, 2003). An additional definition of marketing is found in the capturing and analysis of customer-driven metrics of performance, and the use of business intelligence and analytics to quantify marketing behavior (Hester, 2009). Marketing is increasingly being defined from the standpoint of its role in the value chain of any enterprise, including demand generation, demand management and services management -- in short all functions across the spectrum of the customer lifecycle (Gronroos, 2006). While all…

Communications Channels
The communications objectives for the firm and the product will impact on the way the messages are created and the channels used to make those communications. The communications objectives may be divided into two main categories; the retailers who the firm will want to stock the product, and the consumers who will be the end users.
The communication to the consumers may be argued as most important, as this will impact directly on consumers' knowledge and intention to purchase. etailers will also consider the marketing support that is provided by the firm, as they will want to stock products that are likely to sell, so they can use their shelf space effectively (Kotler & Keller, 2011)
Looking first at the consumer marketing the initial objectives will be to create product and brand awareness, so that consumers know…
