IntegratedMarketing
Communication
• To stay in business, every business needs to convert
prospects to closed sales. How a company markets to
potential customers is a marketing strategy.
• A company may have more than one strategy in place
at any given time, using various marketing platforms -
- including networking, digital media and traditional
print advertising.
• Plan your marketing strategies so that you can
evaluate the successful campaigns and build upon
them, while adjusting or stopping unsuccessful ones.
3
Market Segmentation
• A market segment is a subgroup of people or
organizations that have one or more characteristics in
common that cause them to have the same product
needs.
• The main reason companies divide markets into
identifiable groups is so that the marketing team can
create a custom marketing mix for the specific group.
• For example, Farmer Joseph realized early on that not
everyone would purchase his expensive organic
produce. He did not want to exhaust his financial
budget by advertising to the masses. Instead, he
identified his target market and created a specific
marketing plan to communicate effectively with his
prime customers.
4
PurposeofMarketSegment
• The main reason an organization uses
market targeting is to give more power to
its brand.
• Organizations also use these methods
when they want to get an idea of how
much of something they will sell.
• Estimates related to sales sometimes are
necessary in order for a business to get
initial financing from banks or investors .
5
Importance of Market
Segmentation
• Market segmentation is the process of dividing a
broad consumer or business market, normally
consisting of existing and potential customers, into
sub-groups of consumers (known as segments)
based on some type of shared characteristics.
• In dividing or segmenting markets, researchers
typically look for common characteristics such as
shared needs, common interests, similar lifestyles or
even similar demographic profiles.
• The overall aim of segmentation is to identify high
yield segments – that is, those segments that are
likely to be the most profitable or that have growth
potential – so that these can be selected for special
attention

any viable marketing strategy, and if you have an
interest in growing your business, it is one of the
most important parts of your business plan.

in the minds of your customers and distinguishes
you from your competitors. An investment in
branding can pay off in several ways.

Integrated digital marketing
• Integrated digital marketing is, as it sounds, the integration of
multiple marketing strategies to form a cohesive online approach
for your business. Here’s what it typically entails:
• web development and design
• search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing
(SEM)
• content marketing
• social media marketing
• local listings management
• paid advertising (or pay-per-click advertising) campaigns
• The idea behind integrated digital marketing is that, while each
individual strategy doesn’t have a huge impact on its own, when
used in conjunction, you can create a more influential online
presence.
9
Digitalmarketingstrategy
• Digital marketing strategy is challenging
even for large enterprise organizations
because what works changes frequently.
• Google algorithm updates, declining
Twitter engagement, shifts in
demographics across digital networks, new
phones with ad blockers are just a few of
the many recent changes that impact the
success of your marketing efforts.
10
How digital marketing strategies
have changed marketing forever

no longer ignore even if you only use traditional
marketing tactics, which begs the question: WHY are
you still using traditional marketing tactics alone?
• The 5 changes are:
• Ads can’t be ads
• Customer service is always on
• Traditional advertising, especially when used alone, is
D-E-A-D
• Because marketing costs are substantially lower in
digital, the playing field is more level
• Emerging pay-to-play models mean digital advertising
is no longer free

Effect on customer satisfaction
• Customer satisfaction has important implications
for the economic performance of firms because
it has the ability to increase customer loyalty and
usage behavior and reduce customer complaints
and the likelihood of customer defection.
• The implementation of a CRM approach is likely
to have an effect on customer satisfaction and
customer knowledge for a variety of different
reasons.

timely, accurate processing of customer orders
and requests and the ongoing management of
customer accounts.
14

experiences or believes he is receiving
through interaction with a company.
• Benefits may include resolution of a
problem, achievement of a desired
outcome or fulfillment of a need through a
purchase; a feeling of confidence following
purchase; or satisfaction with post-
purchase service.
15
Relationship marketing
• Relationship marketing is a facet of
customer relationship management (CRM)
that focuses on customer loyalty and long-
term customer engagement rather than
shorter-term goals like customer acquisition
and individual sales.
• The goal of relationship marketing (or
customer relationship marketing) is to
create strong, even emotional, customer
connections to a brand that can lead to
ongoing business, free word-of-mouth
promotion and information from customers
that can generate leads.
16
WhyRelationshipMarketing?
• Relationship marketing is all about emotion.
Customers should feel engaged with you, as if you
are sharing your business story with them.
• You want to create an emotional connection with
this customer.
• This boosts loyalty and makes it tougher for them
to leave you for another brand. Think about some
of the emails you receive from your favorite
companies.
17
Benefits of Relationship Marketing
• Long-term customers tend to be less inclined
to switch, and also tend to be less price
sensitive.
• Long-term customers may initiate free word
of mouth promotions and referrals.
• Long-term customers are more likely to
purchase related products from you.
• Regular customers tend to be less expensive
to service and tend to be consistent in their
purchase habits.
• Increased customer loyalty makes
employees' jobs easier and more satisfying.
18
Campaignmanagement
• Campaign management implements public
relations, product development, and sales to
create, execute, monitor, and measure marketing
programs directed at specifically target audiences.
• The potential demand for products and services is
estimated and the most cost effective and efficient
means of reaching consumers is determined.
Campaign management involves developing a
pricing as well as a sales strategy to maximize
profits.
19
Sales
• A sale is a transaction between two parties where
the buyer receives goods (tangible or intangible),
services, and/or assets in exchange for money.
• It can also refer to an agreement between a
buyer and seller on the price of a security. A sale
functions as a contract between the buyer and
seller of the selected good or service.
• A sale dictates that, in exchange for a certain
amount of money or particular assets, the seller
provides the buyer with aforementioned good or
service.
• In order to complete a sale, both parties must be
deemed competent and be in agreement
regarding the terms as set forth.
20
Territorymanagement
• Territory management is an account sharing system
that grants access to accounts based on the
characteristics of the accounts.
• It enables your company to structure your
Salesforce data and users the same way you
structure your sales territories.
• A territory is a flexible collection of accounts and
users where the users have at least read access to
the accounts, regardless of who owns the account.
21
B2Bmarketing
• B2B (business-to-business) marketing is
marketing of products to businesses or
other organizations for use in
production of goods, for use in general
business operations (such as office
supplies), such as a wholesaler selling
to a retailer.
22
Difference from Consumer Market
1. Fewer customers - There are about
316,000,000 potential individual consumers in
the U.S. alone. The number of businesses in
comparison is much lower.
2. Derivative demand - A significant amount of
business demand is derivative of consumer
demand. This may not affect the retailer much,
but it hurts the traditional publishing industry.
3. Complex Transactions - The products and
buying process are often more complicated.
The products purchased are often very complex
and expensive, like manufacturing equipment,
and sometimes even custom made.

InternationalMarketingin
changingEconomicEnvironment
• The international economic environment can
be described as the global factors that are
outside of the control of individual
organizations. These factors include
unemployment rates, inflation rates, and
labor costs.
• External factors found in the macroeconomic
environment can also affect organizations'
decision-making and performance activities.
24
BusinessCycle
• The business cycle describes the rise and fall
in production output of goods and services in
an economy.
• Business cycles are generally measured using
rise and fall in real – inflation-adjusted – gross
domestic product (GDP), which includes
output from the household the government
sector, as well as business output.
25
Stages of business cycle
• The four stages consist of:
• Peak/boom
• Contraction/slump
• Recession
• Expansion
26
GlobalMarketing

activities designed to plan, price, promote and
direct to flow of an organization’s offerings in
more than one country for a profit.

Micro environment
31
Macro environment
Domesticmarketing
• A domestic market, also referred to as
an internal market or domestic trading, is the
supply and demand of goods, services, and
securities within a single country.
• In domestic trading, a firm faces only one set
of competitive, economic, and market issues
and essentially must deal with only one set of
customers, although the company may have
several segments in a market.
32
Difference between Domestic Marketing and International Marketing
Domestic Marketing
• Domestic marketing is actually the selling of a
company’s items in financial market of the country
or we can say that company sell items locally.
• It manages with one consumer, one competition
and less economic issues which make it more
helpful to do. There are no language obstruction
and getting and interpreting information on local
promoting patterns and demand of consumers is
simpler and quicker to do.
• It offers the organization some assistance with
making decisions and makes strategies related to
marketing that are more compelling and proficient.
International Marketing
• International marketing is actually the selling and
promotion of a company’s items to consumers in
distinctive nations.
• It is extremely complex and requires a tremendous
amount of financial resources. Each nation has its
own particular laws related to business and an
organization that goes for going into business in
another nation should first think about them.
• Customer’s preferences and tastes might likewise
vary so strategies related to marketing must be
figured to take into account the requirements of
diverse buyers.
33
Chapter-4
Strategic Marketing
• Political factors and environment of a country
impacts any business organization and can also
introduce a risk factor can cause the business to
suffer losses or compromise over its profit stream.
• Political environment can change because of the
policies and actions of the prevailing government at
every level, federal to local level. It is very important
that a business should plan for the variability in the
policies and regulations of the government to
maintain a stable business environment.
34
Strategicmarketing
planning
• To stay in business, every business needs to convert
prospects to closed sales. How a company markets to
potential customers is a marketing strategy.
• A company may have more than one strategy in place
at any given time, using various marketing platforms -
- including networking, digital media and traditional
print advertising.
• Plan your marketing strategies so that you can
evaluate the successful campaigns and build upon
them, while adjusting or stopping unsuccessful ones.
35
Situation Analysis
• Before you can develop a plan, you need to
determine exactly where your business
currently sits.
• Perhaps your company is meeting revenue
goals but wants to scale up or move into
new markets.
• If you aren't meeting goals, take an honest
assessment of why. No marketing plan can
change things if your sales team is
unmotivated or untrained.
36
WhyStrategic
Management?
• Strategic management provides the route map for
the firm. It lends a framework, which can ensure
that decisions concerning the future are taken in a
systematic and purposeful way.
• Strategic management also serves as a hedge
against uncertainty, a hedge against totally
unexpected developments on the business
horizon. It lends a frame of reference for
investment decisions. It aids the concentration of
resources on vital areas of best potential.
37
Growth strategies
• Growth of a business is critical for business success.
A firm may grow by developing the market or by
developing new products.
• The Ansoff product market growth matrix illustrates
the two broad dimensions for achieving growth. The
Ansoff matrix identifies four specific growth
strategies:
• market penetration
• product development
• market development
• Diversification.
38
Horizontalintegration
• A horizontal integration strategy may be
indicated in fast changing work environments
as well as providing a broad knowledge base
for the business and employees.
• A benefit of horizontal diversification is that it
is an open platform for a business to expand
and build away from the already existing
market.
39
Vertical integration
• Vertical integration is when business is expanded
through the vertical production line on one
business.
• An example of a vertically integrated business
could be Apple. Apple owns all their own software,
hardware, designs and operating systems instead
of relying on other businesses to supply these.
• By having a highly vertically integrated business
this creates different economies therefore creating
a positive performance for the business.
• Vertical integration is seen as a business controlling
the inputs of supplies and outputs of products as
well as the distribution of the final product.
40
Currentscenario
• The scenario analysis necessary to the development of a
user centered tool was carried out mainly through two
different means.
• On one hand, a focused literature analysis, aiming to
better understand the issues related to operative hospitals
and their design process and also to deepen the different
facets of the sustainability concept.
• On the other hand, on field studies, conducted by visiting
some of the most innovative and modern hospitals in Italy
and Europe and through comprehensive meetings with
scholars and designers who already tackled the issue of
sustainability in healthcare.
41
Stakeholders Analysis
• Considering the extremely delicate role covered
by the healthcare structures both within local
communities and wider society in general, the
number and variety of stakeholders who could
claim an interest in the Sustainable Healthcare
project is noteworthy.
• Such stakeholders range from interest groups
who directly interact with hospitals on a daily
basis, such as employees, patients, visitors,
suppliers of goods and services, to those who
find themselves to interact indirectly but
continuously with hospitals, being located next
to these structures, as the local communities.
42
TargetMarket
• Companies can become successful by identifying
themselves with a particular target group. This
focus should not be limited only to demographic
segmentation (i.e., age, income, education,
gender, income, family life-cycle, culture) but also
by psychographic indicators.
• For example, by understanding the values,
attitudes, opinions, and lifestyles of a company’s
customers, the organization can better provide
ways in which to meet its customers’ needs.
