1. 통합 마케팅 커뮤니케이션이란? 그것의 목적을 설명하라. 답변: 통합 마케팅 커뮤니케이션은 고객에게 최대한의 정보 및 설득력 있는 영향을 보장하기 위한 프로모션 및 기타 마케팅 노력의 조정을 말한다. 이러한 시너지 효과를 내기 위해 여러 마케팅 도구를 조정하려면 마케팅 담당자가 넓은 관점을 채택해야 한다. 통합 마케팅 커뮤니케이션의 주요 목표는 고객에게 일관된 메시지를 전달하는 것이다.
10. Discuss the major factors that affect the selection of promotion mix elements. ANSWER: Marketers vary the composition of promotion mixes for many reasons. Although a promotion mix can include all four elements, frequently, a marketer selects fewer than four. Many firms that market multiple product lines use several promotion mixes simultaneously. The size of an organization's promotional budget affects the number and relative intensity of promotional methods included in a promotion mix. If a company's promotional budget is extremely limited, the firm is likely to rely on personal selling because it is easier to measure a salesperson's contribution to sales than to measure the sales effectiveness of advertising. An organization's promotional objectives and policies also influence the types of promotion selected. If a company's objective is to create mass awareness of a new convenience good, such as a breakfast cereal, its promotion mix probably leans heavily toward advertising, sales promotion, and possibly public relations. Size, geographic distribution, and demographic characteristics of an organization's target market help dictate the methods to include in a product's promotion mix. If the size is limited, the promotion mix will probably emphasize personal selling, which can be very effective for reaching small numbers of people. Personal selling is more feasible if a company's customers are concentrated in a small area than if they are dispersed across a vast region. When the company's customers are numerous and dispersed, regional or national advertising may be more practical. Distribution of a target market's demographic characteristics, such as age, income, or education, may affect the types of promotional techniques a marketer selects, as well as the messages and images employed. Generally, promotion mixes for business products concentrate on personal selling, whereas advertising plays a major role in promoting consumer goods. Marketers of highly seasonal products often emphasize advertising—and sometimes sales promotion as well—because off-season sales generally will not support an extensive year-round sales force. A product's price also influences the composition of the promotion mix. High-priced products call for personal selling, because consumers associate greater risk with the purchase of such products and usually want information from a salesperson. For low-priced convenience items, marketers use advertising rather than personal selling. Another consideration in creating an effective promotion mix is the stage of the product life cycle. Intensity of market coverage is still another factor affecting the composition of the promotion mix. A product's use also affects the combination of promotional methods. Costs of promotional methods are major factors to analyze when developing a promotion mix. National advertising and sales promotion require large expenditures. Another consideration that marketers explore when formulating a promotion mix is availability of promotional techniques. Despite the tremendous number of media vehicles in the United States, a firm may find that no available advertising medium effectively reaches a certain target market. Another element that marketers consider when planning a promotion mix is whether to use a push policy or a pull policy. With a push policy, the producer promotes the product only to the next institution down the marketing channel. A firm that uses a pull policy promotes directly to consumers to develop strong consumer demand for its products. It does so primarily through advertising and sales promotion.
10. 프로모션 믹스 요소의 선택에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인을 논의한다. 답변: 마케팅 담당자들은 여러 가지 이유로 프로모션 혼합물의 구성을 다양화한다. 프로모션 믹스는 네 가지 요소를 모두 포함할 수 있지만, 종종 마케터는 네 개 미만의 요소를 선택한다. 여러 제품군을 판매하는 많은 회사들은 동시에 여러 프로모션 혼합물을 사용한다. 조직의 홍보 예산 규모는 프로모션 믹스에 포함된 홍보 방법의 수와 상대적 강도에 영향을 미친다. 기업의 홍보 예산이 극히 한정되어 있다면 광고의 판매 효과를 측정하는 것보다 영업사원의 매출 기여도를 측정하는 것이 더 쉽기 때문에 개인 판매에 의존할 가능성이 높다. 조직의 홍보 목표와 정책은 선택된 홍보 유형에도 영향을 미친다. 만약 회사의 목표가 아침식사 시리얼과 같은 새로운 편의용품에 대한 대중의 인식을 형성하는 것이라면, 그것의 프로모션 믹스는 아마도 광고, 판매 촉진, 그리고 어쩌면 홍보에 크게 기울어질 것이다. 조직의 목표 시장의 크기, 지리적 분포 및 인구학적 특성은 제품의 프로모션 믹스에 포함되는 방법을 지시하는 데 도움이 된다. 크기가 제한되면 프로모션 믹스는 아마도 개인 판매를 강조할 것이고, 이는 소수 인원에 도달하는 데 매우 효과적일 수 있다. 기업의 고객이 광대한 지역에 분산되어 있는 경우보다 작은 지역에 집중되어 있는 경우에 개인 판매가 더 실현 가능하다. 회사의 고객이 많고 분산되어 있을 때 지역 또는 국가 광고가 더 실용적일 수 있다. 연령, 소득 또는 교육과 같은 대상 시장의 인구통계학적 특성의 분포는 마케팅 담당자가 선택하는 홍보 기법의 유형과 고용된 메시지 및 이미지에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 일반적으로 비즈니스 제품의 프로모션 믹스는 개인 판매에 집중하는 반면 광고는 소비재를 홍보하는 데 큰 역할을 한다. 계절성이 높은 제품의 마케터들은 비수기 판매가 일반적으로 연중 판매 인력을 지원하지 않기 때문에 광고와 판매 촉진에 중점을 두는 경우가 많다. 제품의 가격은 프로모션 믹스의 구성에도 영향을 미친다. 고가의 제품들은 개인 판매를 요구한다. 왜냐하면 소비자들은 그러한 제품들의 구매와 더 큰 위험을 연관짓고 보통 영업사원의 정보를 원하기 때문이다. 저가 편의점의 경우, 마케팅 담당자들은 개인 판매보다는 광고를 이용한다. 효과적인 프로모션 믹스를 만들기 위한 또 다른 고려사항은 제품 수명 주기의 단계다. 시장 커버리지의 강도는 여전히 프로모션 믹스의 구성에 영향을 미치는 또 다른 요인이다. 제품의 사용은 홍보 방법의 조합에도 영향을 미친다. 판촉 방법의 비용은 판촉 믹스를 개발할 때 분석해야 할 주요 요인이다. 국가 광고 및 판매 촉진에는 많은 지출이 필요하다. 마케팅 담당자들이 프로모션 믹스를 형성할 때 탐구하는 또 다른 고려사항은 프로모션 기법의 가용성이다. 미국의 엄청난 수의 미디어 차량에도 불구하고, 어떤 회사도 이용 가능한 광고 매체가 특정 목표 시장에 효과적으로 도달하지 못한다는 것을 발견할 수 있다. 마케팅 담당자들이 프로모션 믹스를 계획할 때 고려하는 또 다른 요소는 푸시 정책을 사용할 것인가 아니면 당기기 정책을 사용할 것인가이다. 푸시 정책으로, 생산자는 마케팅 채널 아래 다음 기관에만 제품을 홍보한다. 당김 정책을 사용하는 회사는 자사 제품에 대한 강력한 소비자 수요를 개발하기 위해 소비자에게 직접 홍보한다. 그것은 주로 광고와 판매촉진을 통해 그렇게 한다.
11. Discuss the impact that social media has had on the strategy for promotion. ANSWER: Electronic word of mouth is particularly important to consumers staying abreast of trends. Hundreds of blogs play an essential role in propagating electronic word-of-mouth communications about everything from gossip to politics to consumer goods. They provide consumers with information on trends, reviews of products, and other information on what is new, exciting, and fashionable for consumers. These sites have become so influential in introducing consumers to new products and shaping their views about them that marketers are increasingly monitoring them to identify new trends; some firms have even attempted to influence users' votes on their favorite items. Marketers must increasingly court bloggers, who wield growing influence over consumer perception of companies, goods, and services. Social media has been used successfully for promotion through viral marketing. Viral marketing is a strategy to get consumers to share a marketer's message, often through e-mail or online video, in a way that spreads dramatically and quickly.
11. 소셜 미디어가 홍보 전략에 미친 영향에 대해 논의한다. 답변: 전자 입소문은 트렌드에 뒤지지 않는 소비자들에게 특히 중요하다. 수백 개의 블로그가 가십에서 정치, 소비재까지 모든 것에 대한 전자 입소문을 퍼뜨리는 데 필수적인 역할을 한다. 그들은 소비자들에게 트렌드에 대한 정보, 제품의 리뷰, 그리고 무엇이 소비자들에게 새롭고, 흥미롭고, 유행하는지에 대한 다른 정보를 제공한다. 이러한 사이트들은 소비자들에게 새로운 상품을 소개하고 그것에 대한 그들의 견해를 형성하는데 매우 영향력이 있어서 마케터들은 새로운 트렌드를 확인하기 위해 그들을 점점 더 감시하고 있다; 어떤 회사들은 심지어 그들이 좋아하는 품목에 대한 사용자들의 투표에 영향을 미치려고 시도하기도 했다. 마케터들은 점점 더 많은 법정 블로거들이 기업, 상품, 서비스에 대한 소비자 인식에 점점 더 많은 영향력을 행사해야 한다. 소셜미디어가 바이럴 마케팅을 통한 홍보에 성공적으로 활용되고 있다. 바이럴 마케팅은 소비자가 종종 이메일이나 온라인 비디오를 통해 마케팅 담당자의 메시지를 극적이고 빠르게 퍼지게 하는 전략이다.
12. Why is public relations an important form of communication about a company? Discuss negative public relations, and give an example. ANSWER: Public relations is a broad set of communication efforts used to create and maintain favorable relationships between an organization and its stakeholders. Maintaining a positive relationship with one or more stakeholders can affect a firm's current sales and profits, as well as its long-term survival. Public relations uses a variety of tools, including annual reports, brochures, event sponsorship, and sponsorship of socially responsible programs aimed at protecting the environment or helping disadvantaged individuals. The goal of public relations is to create and enhance a positive image of the organization. Other tools arise from the use of publicity, which is a component of public relations. Publicity is nonpersonal communication in news-story form about an organization or its products, or both, transmitted through a mass medium at no charge. Unpleasant situations and negative events, such as product tampering or an environmental disaster, may generate unfavorable public relations for an organization. For instance, Abercrombie & Fitch faced a public relations nightmare after previous comments from its CEO surfaced indicating that the company did not make clothes for heavier, older, or uncool people. This caused a considerable backlash for consumers offended by the CEO's comments. To minimize the damaging effects of unfavorable coverage, effective marketers have policies and procedures in place to help manage any public relations problems. Public relations should not be viewed as a set of tools to be used only during crises. To get the most from public relations, an organization should have someone responsible for public relations either internally or externally and should have an ongoing public relations program.
12. 홍보라는 것이 왜 기업에 대한 중요한 의사소통의 형태인가? 부정적인 홍보에 대해 토론하고, 예를 들어보자. 답변: 공공 관계는 조직과 이해 관계자들 사이의 우호적인 관계를 형성하고 유지하기 위해 사용되는 광범위한 의사소통 노력이다. 하나 이상의 이해관계자와 긍정적인 관계를 유지하는 것은 기업의 현재 매출과 이익뿐만 아니라 장기적인 생존에도 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 홍보활동은 환경보호나 불우이웃을 돕기 위한 연차보고서, 브로슈어, 이벤트 후원, 사회적 책임 프로그램 후원 등 다양한 도구를 사용한다. 홍보의 목표는 조직에 대한 긍정적인 이미지를 창출하고 강화하는 것이다. 다른 도구들은 홍보의 구성요소인 홍보의 사용에서 생긴다. 홍보란 단체나 그 제품, 또는 둘 다 대중 매체를 통해 무료로 전송되는 뉴스 스토리 형태의 비개인적 의사소통이다. 제품 조작이나 환경 재해와 같은 불쾌한 상황과 부정적인 사건은 조직에 불리한 홍보를 유발할 수 있다. 예를 들어, Abercrombie & Fitch는 CEO의 이전 언급이 회사가 더 무겁거나, 더 나이가 많거나, 덜렁한 사람들을 위해 옷을 만들지 않았다는 것을 시사한 후 홍보 악몽에 직면했다. 이 때문에 CEO의 발언에 불쾌감을 느낀 소비자들에게 상당한 반발을 샀다. 불리한 보도의 피해를 최소화하기 위해 효과적인 마케팅 담당자들은 홍보 문제를 관리하는 데 도움이 되는 정책과 절차를 마련한다. 홍보를 위기 때에만 사용할 수 있는 도구 모음으로 봐서는 안 된다. 홍보에서 최대한 활용하기 위해, 조직은 내부 또는 외부적으로 홍보에 책임이 있는 사람을 보유해야 하며 지속적인 홍보 프로그램을 보유해야 한다.
13. Select three criticisms of promotion, and provide defenses to refute them. ANSWER: Even though promotional activities can help customers make informed purchasing decisions, social scientists, consumer groups, government agencies, and members of society in general have long criticized promotion. The student may pick any three of these six criticisms: One common criticism of promotion is that it is deceptive and unethical. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, much promotion was blatantly deceptive. Although no longer widespread, some deceptive promotion still occurs. Laws, government regulation, and industry self-regulation have helped decrease deceptive promotion. Promotion is also criticized for raising prices, but in fact it can lower them. The ultimate purpose of promotion is to stimulate demand. If it does, the business should be able to produce and market products in larger quantities and thus reduce per-unit production research and development, overhead, and marketing costs, which can result in lower prices. Some critics of promotion claim that it manipulates consumers by persuading them to buy products they do not need, hence creating "artificial" needs. In his theory of motivation, Abraham Maslow indicates that an individual tries to satisfy five levels of needs: physiological needs, such as hunger, thirst, and sex; safety needs; needs for love and affection; needs for self-esteem and respect from others; and self-actualization needs, or the need to realize one's potential. When needs are viewed in this context, it is difficult to demonstrate that promotion creates them. If there were no promotional activities, people would still have needs for food, water, sex, safety, love, affection, self-esteem, respect from others, and self-actualization. Another frequent criticism of promotion is that it leads to materialism. The purpose of promoting goods is to persuade people to buy them; thus, if promotion works, consumers will want to buy more and more things. Marketers assert that values are instilled in the home and that promotion does not change people into materialistic consumers. Every year, firms spend billions of dollars for promotion. The question is whether promotion helps customers enough to be worth the cost. Consumers do benefit because promotion informs them about product uses, features, advantages, prices, and locations where they can buy the products. Thus, consumers gain more knowledge about available products and can make more intelligent buying decisions. Promotion also informs consumers about services—for instance, health care, educational programs, and day care—as well as about important social, political, and health-related issues. Finally, some critics of promotion, including consumer groups and government officials, suggest that certain products should not be promoted at all. Primary targets are products associated with violence and other possibly unhealthy activities, such as handguns, alcohol, and tobacco. Those who defend such promotion assert that, as long as it is legal to sell a product, promoting that product should be allowed.
13. 승진에 대한 세 가지 비판을 선택하고, 이를 반박할 수 있는 방어를 제공하라. 답변: 비록 홍보 활동이 고객이 정보에 입각한 구매 결정을 내리는 데 도움을 줄 수 있지만, 사회 과학자, 소비자 단체, 정부 기관 및 사회 구성원들은 오랫동안 홍보를 비판해왔다. 학생은 다음 여섯 가지 비판 중 세 가지를 꼽을 수 있다. 승진에 대한 일반적인 비판 중 하나는 기만적이고 비윤리적이라는 것이다. 19세기와 20세기 초 동안 많은 승진은 노골적으로 기만적이었다. 비록 더 이상 널리 퍼지지는 않았지만, 어떤 기만적인 승진은 여전히 일어난다. 법률, 정부 규제, 산업 자율 규제는 기만적인 홍보를 줄이는 데 도움이 되었다. 프로모션도 가격을 올린다는 비판을 받지만, 사실 가격을 낮출 수 있다. 홍보의 궁극적인 목적은 수요를 자극하는 것이다. 만약 그렇다면, 기업은 제품을 대량으로 생산하고 마케팅할 수 있어야 하며, 따라서 단위 생산 연구 개발, 오버헤드, 마케팅 비용을 줄여야 하며, 이는 가격을 낮출 수 있다. 일부 홍보비평가들은 "필요하지 않은 제품을 사도록 설득해 소비자를 조종해 '인공적' 니즈를 만들어낸다"고 주장한다. 그의 동기 이론에서, 아브라함 매슬로는 개인이 배고픔, 갈증, 섹스와 같은 생리적 욕구, 안전 욕구, 사랑과 애정의 욕구, 다른 사람들로부터의 자존감과 존중의 필요, 그리고 자기실현적 욕구, 또는 자신의 잠재력을 실현할 필요 등 다섯 가지 욕구를 충족시키려고 노력한다고 말한다. 이러한 맥락에서 니즈를 볼 때, 승진이 니즈를 만든다는 것을 입증하는 것은 어렵다. 만약 홍보 활동이 없다면, 사람들은 여전히 음식, 물, 섹스, 안전, 사랑, 애정, 자존감, 타인으로부터의 존중, 그리고 자아실현에 대한 욕구를 가질 것이다. 승진에 대한 또 다른 빈번한 비판은 그것이 물질주의로 이어진다는 것이다. 상품을 홍보하는 목적은 물건을 사도록 사람들을 설득하는 것이다. 따라서, 만약 홍보가 효과가 있다면, 소비자들은 점점 더 많은 물건을 사고 싶어할 것이다. 마케터들은 가치관이 가정에 심어졌고 승진이 사람을 물질적 소비자로 변화시키지 않는다고 주장한다. 매년 기업들은 판촉을 위해 수십억 달러를 쓴다. 문제는 판촉이 고객들이 그 비용을 감당할 수 있을 정도로 충분히 도움이 되는가 하는 것이다. 소비자들은 프로모션이 그들에게 제품 사용, 특징, 장점, 가격, 그리고 그들이 제품을 살 수 있는 위치에 대해 알려주기 때문에 이익을 얻는다. 따라서 소비자들은 사용 가능한 제품에 대한 더 많은 지식을 얻고 더 현명한 구매 결정을 내릴 수 있다. 프로모션은 또한 소비자들에게 예를 들어 건강 관리, 교육 프로그램, 탁아 등과 같은 서비스와 사회, 정치 및 건강 관련 중요한 문제에 대해 알려준다. 마지막으로 소비자단체와 공무원 등 일부 홍보비평가들은 특정 상품을 아예 홍보하지 말아야 한다고 제안한다. 주요 대상은 폭력 및 권총, 술, 담배와 같은 다른 건강하지 않은 활동과 관련된 제품들이다. 그러한 홍보를 옹호하는 사람들은, 제품을 판매하는 것이 합법적인 한, 그 제품을 홍보하는 것이 허용되어야 한다고 주장한다.
14. Explain what product placement is and discuss its growing popularity within entertainment media. ANSWER: A growing technique for reaching consumers is the selective placement of products within the context of television programs viewed by the target market. Product placement is a form of advertising that strategically locates products or product promotions within entertainment media to reach the product's target markets. Apple is considered to be an expert at product placement. For instance, it partnered with Netflix to have several of its iPads and iPhones in the TV series House of Cards. Such product placement has become more important due to the increasing fragmentation of television viewers who have ever-expanding viewing options and technology that can screen advertisements (e.g., digital video recorders such as TiVo). Researchers have found that 60% to 80% percent of digital video recorder users skip over the commercials when they replay programming. In-program product placements have been successful in reaching consumers as they are being entertained. Reality programming in particular has been a natural fit for product placements, because of the close interchange between the participants and the product.
14. 제품 배치가 무엇인지 설명하고 엔터테인먼트 매체 내에서 증가하는 인기를 논하라. 답변: 소비자에게 다가가는 기술의 증가는 대상 시장이 보는 텔레비전 프로그램의 맥락 안에서 제품을 선별적으로 배치하는 것이다. 제품 배치란 제품의 목표 시장에 도달하기 위해 엔터테인먼트 매체 내에 제품이나 제품 홍보를 전략적으로 위치시키는 광고의 한 형태다. 애플은 제품 배치 전문가로 꼽힌다. 예를 들어, 이 회사는 넷플릭스와 제휴하여 TV 시리즈인 하우스 오브 카드에 자사의 아이패드와 아이폰을 다수 보유하고 있다. 이러한 제품 배치의 중요성은 시청 옵션과 광고를 선별할 수 있는 기술(예: TiVo와 같은 디지털 비디오 레코더)을 지속적으로 확장해 온 텔레비전 시청자의 단편화 때문에 더욱 중요해졌다. 연구자들은 디지털 비디오 레코더 사용자의 60%에서 80%가 프로그램을 재생할 때 광고를 건너뛰는 것을 발견했다. 프로그램 내 제품 배치들은 소비자들에게 즐거움을 주는 데 성공해왔다. 특히 리얼리티 프로그래밍은 참가자와 제품 간의 상호작용이 밀접하기 때문에 제품 배치에 자연스럽게 적합했다.
2. Why is face-to-face communication more flexible in comparison with digital, web-based, or telephone communications when marketing a new or existing product? ANSWER: During face-to-face communication, such as personal selling sales promotions, verbal and nonverbal feedback can be immediate. Instant feedback lets communicators adjust messages quickly to improve the effectiveness of their communications. For example, when a salesperson realizes through feedback that a customer does not understand a sales presentation, the salesperson adapts the presentation to make it more meaningful to the customer. This is why face-to-face communication is the most adaptive and flexible, especially compared to digital, web-based, or telephone communications. In interpersonal communication, feedback occurs through talking, touching, smiling, nodding, eye movements, and other body movements and postures.
2. 신제품이나 기존 제품을 마케팅할 때 대면 통신이 디지털, 웹 기반 또는 전화 통신에 비해 더 유연한 이유는 무엇인가? 답변: 개인 판매 판매 프로모션과 같은 대면 커뮤니케이션 중에는 구두 및 비언어 피드백이 즉시 제공될 수 있다. 즉석 피드백은 의사소통자들이 그들의 의사소통의 효율성을 향상시키기 위해 메시지를 빠르게 조정할 수 있도록 한다. 예를 들어, 판매원이 피드백을 통해 고객이 판매 프리젠테이션을 이해하지 못한다는 것을 깨달았을 때, 판매원은 고객에게 더 의미 있게 설명하기 위해 프레젠테이션을 조정한다. 이것이 바로 대면 통신이 특히 디지털, 웹 기반 또는 전화 통신에 비해 가장 적응적이고 유연한 이유다. 대인관계 의사소통에서 피드백은 대화, 감동, 미소, 끄덕임, 눈 움직임, 그리고 다른 신체 움직임과 자세를 통해 일어난다.
3. Explain the communication process. ANSWER: Communication begins with a source. A source is a person, group, or organization with a meaning it attempts to share with an audience. A source could be an electronics salesperson wishing to communicate the attributes of 3D television to a buyer in the store or a TV manufacturer using television ads to inform thousands of consumers about its products. A receiver is the individual, group, or organization that decodes a coded message, and an audience is two or more receivers. To transmit meaning, a source must convert the meaning into a series of signs or symbols representing ideas or concepts. This is called the coding process, or encoding. When coding meaning into a message, the source must consider certain characteristics of the receiver or audience. To share a coded meaning with the receiver or audience, a source selects and uses a communications channel, the medium of transmission that carries the coded message from the source to the receiver or audience. Transmission media include printed words (newspapers and magazines), broadcast media (television and radio), and digital communication. In the decoding process, signs or symbols are converted into concepts and ideas. Seldom does a receiver decode exactly the same meaning the source intended. When the result of decoding differs from what was coded, noise exists. The receiver's response to a decoded message is feedback to the source. The source usually expects and normally receives feedback, although perhaps not immediately. During feedback, the receiver or audience provides the original source with a response to the message. Feedback is coded, sent through a communications channel, and decoded by the receiver, the source of the original communication. Thus, communication is a circular process.
3. 의사소통 과정을 설명하라. 답변: 통신은 출처에서 시작된다. 소스는 청중과 공유하려는 의미를 가진 사람, 그룹 또는 조직이다. 공급원은 매장 내 구매자나 TV 제조업체에게 3D 텔레비전의 속성을 전달하여 수천 명의 소비자들에게 제품에 대해 알리기를 원하는 전자 판매원일 수 있다. 수신자는 암호화된 메시지를 해독하는 개인, 그룹 또는 조직이며, 청중은 두 개 이상의 수신자다. 의미를 전달하기 위해서, 출처는 의미를 사상이나 개념을 나타내는 일련의 기호나 기호로 변환해야 한다. 이를 코딩 프로세스 또는 인코딩이라고 한다. 의미를 메시지로 코딩할 때, 소스는 수신자 또는 청중의 특정 특성을 고려해야 한다. 수신자 또는 청중과 코드화된 의미를 공유하기 위해, 소스는 코드화된 메시지를 발신자로부터 수신자 또는 청중으로 전달하는 전송 매체인 통신 채널을 선택하여 사용한다. 전송 매체로는 인쇄된 단어(신문과 잡지), 방송 매체(텔레비전 및 라디오), 디지털 통신 등이 있다. 해독 과정에서 기호나 기호는 개념과 아이디어로 전환된다. 수신기가 소스가 의도한 것과 정확히 같은 의미를 해독하는 경우는 드물다. 디코딩의 결과가 코딩된 결과와 다를 때, 노이즈가 존재한다. 해독된 메시지에 대한 수신자의 반응은 소스에 대한 피드백이다. 소스는 일반적으로 예상하며 일반적으로 피드백을 받지만 당장은 아닐 수 있다. 피드백 중에 수신자나 청중은 메시지에 대한 응답을 원본 출처에 제공한다. 피드백은 코딩되어 통신 채널을 통해 전송되며 원래의 통신 소스인 수신기에 의해 디코딩된다. 그러므로 의사소통은 순환 과정이다.
4. Identify the major objectives of promotion. ANSWER: The eight major promotional objectives are: (a) create awareness; (b) stimulate demand; (c) encourage product trial; (d) identify products; (e) retain loyal customers; (f) facilitate reseller support; (g) combat competitive promotional efforts; and (h) reduce sales fluctuations.
4. 승진의 주요 목표를 파악한다. 답변: (a) 인지도 창출, (b) 수요 촉진, (c) 제품 평가 권장, (d) 제품 식별, (e) 충성 고객 유지, (f) 리셀러 지원 촉진, (g) 경쟁적 홍보 노력과 싸우고, (h) 판매 변동 감소.
5. What are the differences in trying to stimulate primary demand versus selective demand? ANSWER: When an organization is the first to introduce an innovative product, it tries to stimulate primary demand—demand for a product category rather than for a specific brand of product—through pioneer promotion. Pioneer promotion informs potential customers about the product: what it is, what it does, how it can be used, and where it can be purchased. Because pioneer promotion is used in the introductory stage of the product life cycle, meaning there are no competing brands, it neither emphasizes brand names nor compares brands.To build selective demand, demand for a specific brand, a marketer employs promotional efforts that point out the strengths and benefits of a specific brand. Building selective demand also requires singling out attributes important to potential buyers. Selective demand can be stimulated by differentiating the product from competing brands in the minds of potential buyers. Selective demand can also be stimulated by increasing the number of product uses and promoting them through advertising campaigns, as well as through price discounts, free samples, coupons, consumer contests and games, and sweepstakes. In addition, selective demand can be stimulated by encouraging existing customers to use more of the product.
5. 1차 수요와 선택적 수요를 자극하려는 시도의 차이는 무엇인가? 답변: 조직이 혁신 제품을 처음 도입할 때, 선도적인 홍보를 통해 특정 브랜드의 제품보다는 제품 범주에 대한 수요인 1차 수요를 자극하려고 한다. Pioneer 프로모션은 잠재 고객에게 제품이 무엇인지, 무엇을 하는지, 어떻게 사용할 수 있는지, 어디에서 구입할 수 있는지 등을 알려준다. 선구자 프로모션은 제품 라이프사이클의 도입 단계에서 사용되기 때문에 경쟁 브랜드가 없다는 뜻에서 브랜드 이름을 강조하거나 브랜드를 비교하지 않는다. 특정 브랜드에 대한 수요인 선택적 수요를 구축하기 위해 마케팅 담당자는 특정 브랜드의 강점과 이점을 지적하는 홍보 노력을 기울인다. 선택적 수요를 구축하기 위해서는 잠재적인 구매자들에게 중요한 특성들을 구체화해야 한다. 선택적 수요는 잠재 구매자들의 마음에 있는 경쟁 브랜드와 제품을 차별화함으로써 자극될 수 있다. 선택적 수요는 또한 가격 할인, 무료 샘플, 쿠폰, 소비자 경연대회 및 게임, 스윕스테이크뿐만 아니라 광고 캠페인을 통해 제품 사용 횟수를 늘리고 홍보함으로써 자극될 수 있다. 또한 선택적 수요는 기존 고객들에게 제품을 더 많이 사용하도록 장려함으로써 자극될 수 있다.
6. In what ways can promotion be used to reduce sales fluctuations? ANSWER: Demand for many products varies from one month to another because of such factors as climate, holidays, and seasons. A business, however, cannot operate at peak efficiency when sales fluctuate rapidly. Changes in sales volume translate into changes in production, inventory levels, personnel needs, and financial resources. When promotional techniques reduce fluctuations by generating sales during slow periods, a firm can use its resources more efficiently. Promotional techniques are often designed to stimulate sales during sales slumps.

6. 판매 변동을 줄이기 위해 프로모션을 어떤 방법으로 사용할 수 있는가? 답변: 많은 제품에 대한 수요는 기후, 휴일, 계절과 같은 요소 때문에 한 달마다 다르다. 그러나 기업은 매출이 급변할 때 최고 효율성으로 운영할 수 없다. 판매량 변화는 생산량, 재고 수준, 인력 수요, 재원의 변화로 이어진다. 프로모션 기법이 저조한 기간 동안 매출을 발생시킴으로써 변동을 줄일 때, 기업은 자원을 더 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다. 판촉 기법은 종종 판매 부진 동안 판매를 촉진하기 위해 고안된다. 성수기 동안, 마케팅 담당자는 회사가 모든 수요를 처리할 수 없을 정도로 판매 촉진을 방지하기 위해 광고를 자제할 수 있다. 때때로, 한 회사는 특정한 날에 방문함으로써 고객들을 더 잘 대접할 수 있다고 광고한다.
7. Identify and describe the four major promotion mix elements. ANSWER: The four possible elements of a promotion mix are advertising, personal selling, public relations, and sales promotion. Advertising is a paid nonpersonal communication about an organization and its products transmitted to a target audience through mass media, including television, radio, the Internet, newspapers, magazines, video games, direct mail, outdoor displays, and signs on mass transit vehicles. Personal selling is a paid personal communication that seeks to inform customers and persuade them to purchase products in an exchange situation. The term purchase products is interpreted broadly to encompass acceptance of ideas and issues. Personal selling is most extensively used in the business-to-business market. "Public relations" is a broad set of communication efforts used to create and maintain favorable relationships between an organization and its stakeholders. Maintaining a positive relationship with one or more stakeholders can affect a firm's current sales and profits, as well as its long-term survival. Sales promotion is an activity or material that acts as a direct inducement, offering added value or incentive for the product to resellers, salespeople, or consumers.
7. 4대 프로모션 믹스 요소를 식별하여 기술한다. 답변: 프로모션 믹스의 네 가지 가능한 요소는 광고, 개인 판매, 홍보 및 세일즈 프로모션이다. 광고는 텔레비전, 라디오, 인터넷, 신문, 잡지, 비디오 게임, 다이렉트 메일, 야외 디스플레이, 대중 교통 차량의 표지판 등 대중 매체를 통해 대상 청중에게 전송되는 조직과 그 제품에 대한 유료 비개인적 커뮤니케이션이다. 개인 판매는 교환 상황에서 고객에게 알리고 제품을 구매하도록 설득하려는 유료 개인 커뮤니케이션이다. 구매 상품이라는 용어는 아이디어와 이슈의 수용을 포괄하는 것으로 폭넓게 해석된다. 개인 판매는 기업 대 기업 시장에서 가장 광범위하게 사용된다. "홍보 관계"는 조직과 이해관계자 사이의 우호적인 관계를 형성하고 유지하기 위해 사용되는 광범위한 의사소통 노력이다. 하나 이상의 이해관계자와 긍정적인 관계를 유지하는 것은 기업의 현재 매출과 이익뿐만 아니라 장기적인 생존에도 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 판매촉진은 리셀러, 판매원 또는 소비자에게 제품의 부가가치나 인센티브를 제공하는 직접적인 유인책 역할을 하는 활동이나 자료다.
8. How does sales promotion differ from promotion in general? ANSWER: Sales promotion is an activity or material that acts as a direct inducement, offering added value or incentive for the product to resellers, salespeople, or consumers. Examples include free samples, games, rebates, sweepstakes, contests, premiums, and coupons. Sales promotion should not be confused with promotion; sales promotion is just one part of the comprehensive area of promotion. Marketers spend more on sales promotion than on advertising, and sales promotion appears to be a faster-growing area than advertising.
8. 판매 프로모션과 일반적으로 프로모션은 어떻게 다른가? 답변: 판매 프로모션은 리셀러, 판매원 또는 소비자에게 제품의 부가가치 또는 인센티브를 제공하는 직접적인 유인책 역할을 하는 활동 또는 자료다. 그 예로는 무료 샘플, 게임, 리베이트, 경품 행사, 프리미엄, 쿠폰 등이 있다. 판매촉진은 프로모션과 혼동해서는 안 된다. 판매촉진은 프로모션의 종합적인 영역의 한 부분에 불과하다. 마케터들은 광고보다 판매촉진에 더 많은 돈을 쓰고, 판매촉진은 광고보다 더 빠르게 성장하는 분야로 보인다.
9. Compared to advertising, what are the major advantages and limitations of personal selling? ANSWER: Personal selling has both advantages and limitations when compared with advertising. Advertising is general communication aimed at a relatively large target audience, whereas personal selling involves more specific communication directed at one or several individuals. Reaching one person through personal selling costs considerably more than through advertising, but personal selling efforts often have greater impact on customers. Personal selling also provides immediate feedback, allowing marketers to adjust their messages to improve communication. Such interaction helps them determine and respond to customers' information needs.
9. 광고와 비교했을 때 개인 판매의 주요 장점과 한계는 무엇인가? 답변: 개인 판매는 광고와 비교할 때 장점과 한계를 모두 가진다. 광고는 상대적으로 많은 목표 대상 고객을 대상으로 하는 일반적인 커뮤니케이션인 반면, 개인 판매는 한 명 또는 여러 명의 개인들을 대상으로 하는 보다 구체적인 커뮤니케이션을 포함한다. 개인 판매 비용을 통해 한 사람에게 도달하는 것은 광고보다 상당히 더 많지만, 개인 판매 노력은 종종 고객에게 더 큰 영향을 미친다. 개인 판매는 또한 즉각적인 피드백을 제공하므로 마케팅 담당자들이 커뮤니케이션을 개선하기 위해 메시지를 조정할 수 있다. 이러한 상호 작용은 고객의 정보 요구를 결정하고 대응하는 데 도움이 된다.
