The Traditional Marketing Communication Mix
The first step in the marketing communication process is deciding what components of the
Marketing Communication Mix you are going to utilize in communicating with your target
audience. The five traditional elements of the MARCOM mix are Advertising, Direct
Marketing, Personal Selling, Public Relations and Sales Promotion. These are discussed
below. The Marketing Communication Process, Marketing Communication Strategy and
Marketing Communication Plan pages also provide additional thoughts and tools for optimizing
your marketing communication mix.
The traditional components of the marketing communication mix are discussed below and put
into perspective for successful marketing to today's consumers by today's business. Although
marketing underwent a great transformation similar to that of business as a whole in the
twentieth century, the traditional components of the marketing communication process are still in
use and important today.

Advertising
This is the mass media method of marketing communication and provides exposure to the
largest, most geographically dispersed audience at the lowest cost per head. That being said,
advertising costs can ad up quickly with mediums like television, radio and even online
advertising which can be prohibitively expensive for many businesses.
Other traditional forms of paid advertising include newspapers and magazines, the Yellow Pages,
billboards, signs and posters. As well, advertising on buses, benches, gas pumps and even public
restrooms is in vogue today. Basically, any medium which provides an opportunity to target
"eyes and/or ears" can be a venue for advertising and you can see examples of successful
promotion in the most unlikely places.

Direct Marketing
This marketing communication competency enables companies to reach out directly to
consumers without intermediary channels such as those required for advertising. This component
of the marketing communication process includes direct mail, catalogs, coupons and inserts,
telemarketing, online marketing and television infomercials. Done correctly, Direct Marketing is
extremely effective in the long run and allows for a targeted marketing approach to specific
consumers to create valuable lasting relationships.
Direct Marketing is the marketing communication method that enables companies to interact
with a relatively large number of customers and encourage a "call to action" or "most wanted
response" which is usually a purchase. The downside of Direct Marketing is that it is usually
unsolicited and seen as a nuisance by the general public. Telemarketing, e-mail spamming and
junk mail are universally despised and so Direct Marketing tools should be used with thought
and caution. Visit the Direct Marketing Association website for guidance on legal and ethical
Direct Marketing.

Personal Selling
This is the most dreaded as well as the most expensive of all methods in the marketing
communication process. However, if you are a small business owner or otherwise have the
ability to personally sell and build relationships with customers, it can be one of the most
rewarding aspects of the marketing process, both personally and professionally.
Just as with traditional marketing, successful selling begins and ends with the customer. The
whole objective is to ascertain needs and create the best solution for customers. Along the way
you build relationships and continue to gather information about how you can better serve
customers which is your reason for being in business in the first place.
Sales and marketing are fundamental to the survival of any business and both involve creating
customers for the business value you have created. The former targets one person (or entity)
whereas the latter targets many. Both engage, inform and persuade through a variety of
communicational tools. Aligning both will increase your success regardless of conditions.
Successful sales and successful marketing both begin with an attitude and that attitude is
customers first.
Sales is covered in more detail in The Sales Lead Center section.

Public Relations
This refers to how you handle your relationships and the flow of information with your various
"publics" or the people who have a stake in or are affected by your business. This includes the
general public, consumers, shareholders, employees, partners, competitors and the government.
PR becomes a more and more crucial element of the marketing communication mix as a business
or organization grows larger. That being said, it is still a vital component of the marketing
communication process to think about for smaller businesses as well. PR tools include press and
media releases, lobbying, charitable and public events, advertorials, financial reports,
promotional collateral, facility tours, sponsorships, interviews and any other method for the
promotion of a positive image to people.
Being "people conscious" starts with the individual and carries through to the organization. Once
again, people buy from people at the end of the day and the most successful people and
organizations are those that benefit other people the most. As with many facets of sales and
marketing, PR also has a "good" and "bad" side.
The good side of PR is fostering socially conscious business practices whereas the bad side is
epitomized in shady political lobbying, "spin doctors" and so forth that divert from the truth as
opposed to promote it. Suffice it to say that in today's connected world, more than ever, any
sized organization needs to be cognizant that it operates within the larger framework of society
and has corresponding responsibilities.
The Institute For Public Relations website is an excellent resource for additional material on the
role of Public Relations in the marketing communication process.

Sales Promotion
This is the last traditional component of the marketing communication mix that is discussed here
as part of the marketing communication process. Sales promotion simply refers to purchase
incentives that you provide your customer with. These can assume a number of forms including
offering free goods or services, coupons and vouchers, gifts and prizes, discounts, samples,
financial incentives, charitable promotions and any other value-add over and above your
standard product or services.
Sales Promotions are generally short-lived, "one off" incentives intended to provide consumers
with that last "push" to buy. The main takeaway is that regardless of the size and type of your
business, you should continually look at ways in which to create additional value for customers.
Your customers will appreciate it and, in facts, customers have been shown to pay premium
prices for real value and real service.
