广告、促销与整合营销传播:英文版

We continue to refine Integrated Advertising, Promotion, and Marketing Communications, in part, to help students understand the importance of integrating all marketing communications (IMC) and how they are produced and transmitted. When the first edition was written, most marketing communication textbooks focused primarily on advertising. As your students know from their everyday experiences and the courses they have taken in college, marketing communications incorporates much more. It includes promotions, such as coupons, price discounts, and contests. Marketing has expanded to extensive use of social media, internet blogs, customer product reviews, messages delivered to mobile phones, and other programs, such as buzz marketing and stealth marketing. These venues create vital links to effectively reach consumers. These should be carefully integrated into one clear message and voice for customers to hear and see.
