Promotion
Promotion combines advertising,
personal selling, sales promo-
tion and publicity into coordinated programs for communicating
with buyers and others involved in purchasing decisions. Promo-
tion influences company sales. Great sums of money are spent on
promotion activities. Effective management of these expensive
resources is essential to gain the optimum
return from promotion
expenditures.
A major promotion objective is to convince buyers to use the
brend of their company. The function of promotion in the mar-
keting is to achieve various communications objectives with each
audience.
The promotion includes advertising, personal selling,
public
relations, and sales promotion activities. That is why marketing
management is finding it profitable to combine these components
in to an integrated strategy for communicating with buyers.
Advertising and sales promotion plays a key role in con-
vincing people to buy their product.
Advertising is a paid form
of presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by a
sponsor.
Personal selling is the oral presentation in a conversation with
prospective buyers for the purpose of making a sale.
Personal sell-
ing has some advantages: salespeople can interact with buyers to
answer their questions and overcome difficulties, have the capacity
to accumulate market knowledge.

Sales promotion
includes various activities, such as trade
shows, contests, samples and various displays. Annual expendi-
tures are very high. They are higher than the amount spent on
advertising.
Public relations can make an important contribution to promo-
tion strategy if the activity is planned and
aimed to achieve specific
promotion objectives.
Since each form of promotion has advantages and disad-
vantages, the total strategy should incorporate the merits and
shortcomings of each component into a cost-effective promotion
mix.
