The study finds that on the one hand beekeeping is difficult to implement integrated marketing communications due to more difficult application of communication tools – advertising, personal sales, and sales promotion. On the other hand, they also have less well-represented advertising constants. EU agricultural policy supports the implementation of integrated marketing communications from beekeeping farms through the formation of infrastructure and services, legislation, media environment and bee products with high added value. Beekeeping farms must invest primarily in public relations and direct marketing, and as advertising constants can use regional varieties, breeds, technologies, geographical indications, know-how, certification to a certain standard, as they represent the uniqueness of regional bee products.

Abstract Background Healthcare establishments portray themselves to their patient populations using many communicative mechanisms. Perhaps the first avenues that come to mind are the outward conveyances of the marketing communications mix, including advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, public relations, and direct marketing. But other prominent communicators also exist, including the people employed by healthcare institutions, the places in which services are delivered, and the brands that represent given establishments. This wide variety of communicative mechanisms is somewhat of a mixed blessing, affording myriad options, but also necessitating extra care and attention in developing associated marketing communications. Discussion Now more than ever, health and medical establishments have at their disposal communications options capable of addressing most any conveyance want or need. The marketing communications mix, once somewhat limited due to industry tradition, is now fully accessible and widely used in the health services industry, providing immense opportunities to connect with patients. Options for signage, building designs, servicescape amenities, employee uniforms, and the like also are teeming, providing myriad avenues for making positive impressions. But burgeoning options while beneficial also intensify obligations for ensuring that marketing communications are properly integrated, with this particular article describing this imperative need and its implications for communicative success in the healthcare industry. Conclusions By integrating marketing communications, health and medical providers are able to create synergies between and among selected conveyance mechanisms, amplifying performance and increasing the likelihood of reaching communicative goals. Achieving such cohesion requires devoted planning in an effort to coordinate verbal and visual manifestations to express desired imagery and appeals to target audiences. As extensive benefits are derived from integrated marketing communications, healthcare establishments should consider associated pursuits to be a strategic priority.

Sales promotion is an integral part of sales and marketing today. They are of two types – consumer promotion and trade promotion. Consumer promotion is run to entice consumers to the retail outlets and purchase the product. It also helps in building awareness and is normally run for a short period of time. Trade promotions are run to motivate the trade and the intermediaries to sell more of the product. It is a push strategy where the intermediaries try to sell more to the consumers. The downside of sales promotion is that when run repeatedly, or for a very long period of time, the brand image of the product is harmed. Sales promotions has to be run in synchronization with the integrated marketing communications plan of the brand or the product. These are normally high-profile events with lot of consumer attention through the media. More often than not, sales promotion is supported by media exposure and other communication methods, and hence, they have to be in sync with each other. The processes of buying and selling runs parallel and hence the integrated marketing communications along with sales promotion plans must take cognizance of the stage at which the product and the market is operating. While doing all these, the marketer as well as the sales team must keep in mind that there is a lot of difference between FMCG and consumer durable sales. The depth and width of distribution are completely different. The nature of intermediaries is completely different and hence the selling process also has to be quite different. International sales management is also a different cup of tea and this expertise comes over years of experience. One thing that has gained in importance in sales management and operations is ethics. This needs to be inculcated in the DNA of the sales team – right from the top to the bottom of the hierarchy.

Integrated Marketing Communications (IMCs) is critical to the performance of an organisation. However, many of the previous studies have focussed on manufacturing firms with very few targeted at private universities. Moreover, empirical evidence revealed that private universities have not been able to effectively deploy IMCs to enhance their performance and have been confronted with the challenge of poor customer satisfaction. The study investigated the effect of IMCs on customer satisfaction of selected private universities in South-West Nigeria. The study adopted cross-sectional survey research design. The population of the study comprised 554 employees of the Institutional Marketing Department and ad-hoc staff of the Registry Department of the universities selected for the study. Total enumeration method was used. The instrument used was a validated adapted questionnaire. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients of the constructs ranged from 0.701 to 0.832. The response rate was 85%. Data were analysed using multiple linear regression. The results revealed that IMCs had positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction (Adj. R2 = 0.834, F (5, 467) = 475.554, p < 0.05). The relative effects of IMCs on customer satisfaction showed that advertising had a positive and significant effect (β = 0.132, t = 3.038, p < 0.05), service promotion had a positive and significant effect (β = 0.195, t = 4.502, p < 0.05), online marketing had a positive and significant effect (β = 0.269, t = 5.972, p < 0.05), public relations also had a positive and significant effect (β = 0.377, t = 7.415, p < 0.05). The effect of direct marketing was however insignificant though positive (β = 0.059, t = 1.130, p > 0.05). The study concluded that IMCs affect customer satisfaction. The study recommended that private universities should prioritise their promotional efforts on advertising, service promotion, online marketing and public relations rather than direct marketing in their bid to sustain and improve their customer satisfaction record.

Effective communication with target customers is carried out by a variety of methods, referred to as ‘marketing communications’, and the Spotlight above highlighted the importance of an integrated marketing communications campaign. In many people’s perception, marketing is promotion, for promotion is the highly visible, public face of marketing. However, promotion is only one element of the marketing mix, its role being to convince potential customers of the benefits of purchasing or using the products and services of a particular organization. Promotions decisions will be determined by the overall marketing plan, as illusurated in Figure 6.1. Marketing objectives are derived from the strategic tools of targeting and positioning. The marketing mix is then used to achieve these objectives, and promotions are just one part of this marketing mix. The blend of promotional elements outlined in Table 6.1 is known as the promo- tional mix, and promotional management involves coordinating all the elements, setting objectives and budgets, designing programs, evaluating performance, and taking corrective action. Advertising and sales promotion are covered in this chapter, whereas the remaining elements are discussed in other chapters of the book.
