Strategies for implementing integrated marketing communications

About this book

Integrated Marketing Communications is one of the hottest ideas in marketing today - and for good reason. Marketers today no longer feel limited to traditional ways of doing things. More and more marketers, both large and small, are realizing there is a wide range of ways to reach potential customers. This means you can better target your marketing communications, leading to more successful marketing programs. If this is true - and it is - then why do we hear so much about IMC not working? The reason is simple. IMC is much more than simply discussing new ways of communicating or using traditional means in new ways. IMC is a way of planning overall marketing communications strategy by first looking to your customers and asking what is the best way of reaching them. That is why Strategies for Implementing Integrated Marketing Communications was written. In 10 comprehensive but concise and easy-to-read chapters the author outlines approaches for developing the most effective IMC strategies and then tailoring the tactics needed to implement them effectively. With 224 pages of easy-to-use, practical advice and common-sense models and forms for guidance, including detailed cases showing step-by-step how several leading marketers have used this forward-looking approach to develop their own successful programs, Strategies for Implementing Integrated Marketing Communications will be the most powerful tool in your marketing and communications arsenal.
