Exhibit 18.2: The AIDA Model

In the A I D A model, awareness is associated with the customer response of thinking. Interest and desire are associated with the customer response of feeling. Action is associated with the customer response of doing.

Communicating with Consumers: Exhibit 18.1: The Communication Process

In this example, Pepsi (the firm which makes Pepsi) is the sender. The transmitter is an advertising vendor who encodes this message and creates a Pepsi advertisement. The communications channel (media) is represented by the advertisement appearing in a newspaper. The receiver is the consumer who decodes the message (by reading the newspaper). The consumer sends feedback to Pepsi. Noise from the environment can be a factor in all phases of this process.

Services Marketing Differs from Product Marketing EXHIBIT 13.2 Core Differences between Services and Goods

Inseparable, Heterogenous, Perishable, Intangible Intangible: Services cannot be touched, tasted, or seen. Requires using cues to aid customers. Atmosphere is important to convey value. Images are used to convey benefit of value. EX: Because it is difficult to show a service, Amusement park owners evoke images in their advertising of happy families and friends enjoying a ride at one of their parks. Inseparable Production and Consumption: Production and consumption are simultaneous. Little opportunity for a consumer to test a service before use. Lower risk by offering guarantees or warranties. Heterogeneous: The more humans are needed to provide a service, the more likely there is to be heterogeneity or variability in the service's quality. Solutions •Technology. •Training. •Automation. Perishable: Services are perishable in that they cannot be stored for use in the future. Ski areas, airlines, cruise ships, movie theaters, and restaurants must find ways to deal with the challenges of perishability.

Selective: relies on a few selected retail customers in a territory. - Selective distribution uses a few selected customers in a territory.

Exhibit 18.6: Rule-of-Thumb Methods(1 of 2)

Method: Competitive parity Definition:The communication budget is set so that the firm's share of communication expenses equals its share of the market. Limitations: Does not allow firms to exploit the unique opportunities or problems they confront in a market. If all competitors use this method to set communication budgets, their market shares will stay approximately the same over time. Method: Percentage-of-sales Definition: The communication budget is a fixed percentage of forecasted sales. Limitations: Assumes the same percentage used in the past, or by competitors, is still appropriate for the firm.
