Receivers Decode Messages Differently
- Each receiver decodes a message in his or her own way, which is not necessarily the way the sender intended. Different people shown the same message will often take radically different meanings from it.
the transmitter
- The marketing department or external agency receives the information and transforms it for use in its role
ADIA Model
- This model suggests that Awareness leads to Interest, which leads to Desire, which leads to Action. At each stage, the consumer makes judgments about whether to take the next step in the process.
feedback loop
- allows the receiver to communicate with the sender and thereby informs the sender whether the message was received and decoded properly.
noise
- any interference that stems from competing messages, a lack of clarity in the message, or a flaw in the medium. It poses a problem for all communication channels.
businesses have used websites to building their
- brand image and educate customers about their products or services as well as where they can be purchased. Retailers and some manufacturers sell merchandise directly to consumers over the Internet.
encoding
- means converting the sender's ideas into a message, which could be verbal, visual, or both. (is what the sender intends to say)

aided recall
- when consumers indicate they know the brand when the name is presented to them.
lagged effect
-delayed response to a marketing communication campaign. -ØMultiple exposures are often necessary. -It is difficult to determine which exposure led to purchase

Setting and Allocating the IMC Budget

consumers must be persuaded that it is a product worth investigating.
Because Volkswagen was suffering as a result of an emissions scandal, it reoriented its marketing campaigns with its new tagline "Think New!" It also introduced a new mix of family-friendly SUVs and electric vehicles. The cars are designed specifically to appeal to younger car buyers who value high-tech features, such as smartphone integration and easy-to-use interfaces with convenient services such as Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto. Thus, the ads' messages include attributes that are of interest to the target audience—in this case, young drivers who want a car that is fun to be in, as well as fun to drive.
the transmitter example
Consumers must receive information that makes them want to try the new emojis, use Pepsi-linked symbols to communicate with their friends, and continue to purchase new versions of the beverages
Senders Adjust Messages According to the Medium and Receivers' Traits

the coke billboard is perceived in many ways
If you are a user of this brand, it may convey satisfaction. If you recently went on a diet and gave up your soda, it may convey dismay or a sense of loss. If you have chosen to be a nonuser, it may convey some disgust. If you are a recently terminated employee, it may convey anger.
competitive parity example

direct marketing initiatives
Internet-based technologies have had a profound effect on direct marketing initiatives. Ex. E-mail
Advertainment
It is advertising that is focused on entertaining the end user. First and best example is Reebok's Terry Tate ads from the 2003 Super Bowl.
sender example
Pepsi communicates mainly through packaging and promotional programs. Like there emoji campaign and specialized emoji keyboard, for example, Pepsi establishes itself as a source of fun and different emojis that people can use in their daily activities. Although Pepsi stays clear of who they are bc they use their signature blue, white and red color scheme and logo images
communication channel example
Pepsi could transmit through television, radio, and various print advertisements, but for its emoji campaign, it also made vast and clearly understandable use of social media. The media chosen must be appropriate to connect the sender with the desired recipients.
noise examples
Pepsi may choose to advertise in newspapers that its target market doesn't read, which means the rate at which the message is received by those to whom it has relevance has been slowed considerably.
Receiver Example
Pepsi wants its message received and decoded properly by a broad population that includes teens, young adults, and families.
What other actions can IMC ask consumers to take?
Possible answers include behavioral changes (don't drink and drive), attitude changes (that product is high quality), or physical actions (pick up the phone, log on to the website, volunteer).
awareness
Senders first must gain the attention of the consumer first.
sales promotion
Special incentives or excitement-building programs that encourage the purchase of a product or service, such as coupons, rebates, contests, free samples, and point-of-purchase displays.
percentage of sales method
The communication budget is a fixed percentage of forecasted sales.
competitive parity
The communication budget is set so that the firm's share of communication expenses equals its share of the market.
interest
The customer must want to further investigate the product/service.
Why is the objective-and-task method of setting an IMC budget better than the rule-of-thumb methods?
The objective-and-task method determines the budget required to undertake specific tasks to accomplish communication objectives. the objective is how to reach these people to listen to his music the task is sending out
