What is communication mix and how should it be set
The marketing communications mix consists of eight major
models of communication: advertising, sales promotion , public
relations and publicity , events and experiences , direct marketing ,
interactive marketing , word - of - mouth marketing , and personal
selling.
In choosing the marketing communications mix ,marketers must
examine the distinct advantages and costs of each communication
tool and the company’s market rank. They must also consider the
type of product market in which they are selling, how ready
consumers are to make a purchase, and the product’s stage in
company, brand , and product.
