directly.

• Atmospheres are designed environments that create or reinforce the buyer’s leanings toward
buying a product.
• Events are staged occurrences that communicate messages to target audiences (Press
conferences, Grand openings, Exhibits, Public tours).

communicator understanding the effect
on the target audience by measuring
consumer behavior resulting from the
marketer behavior.
Setting the Total Promotion Budget and Mix

Affordable budget method sets the budget at an affordable level that a company can afford.
• Ignores the effects of promotion on sales.

Competitive-parity method sets the budget to match competitor outlays.


• Represents industry standards.

Percentage-of-sales method sets the budget at a certain percentage of current or forecasted


sales or unit sales price.
• Easy to use and helps management think about the relationship between promotion, selling
price, and profit per unit.
• Wrongly views sales as the cause rather than the result of promotion.

Objective-and-task method sets the budget based on what the firm wants to accomplish with
promotion and includes:
• Defining promotion objectives
• Determining tasks to achieve the objectives
• Estimating costs
