Inclusive marketing strategy

It is but a natural pursuit of all companies to make efforts to increase their sales volume, and consequently revenue. We know that many companies are heavily dependent on direct marketing to acquire new clients. Still,it is very difficult to reach at every consumer,or the potential ones only through direct marketing. This necessitates adoption of other marketing methods and techniques. Given the consumers level of brand awareness these days, it is advisable to go for a range of marketing activities instead of relying on one medium only. People are needed to be engaged and a degree of personalization of relationship is required too. Here a well planned PR campaign is very relevant. To gain competitive advantage you need to be visible across all media and a sustained good will of the public is needed.. It is very important that consumers find your brand to be reflective of their choices and in tune with their values. Besides as there is no uniformity in a customers purchase behavior and his accessibility to various media, you need to be conscious and cautious about the right media planning.

As a result of intensive media and market research, deep insights have been obtained into the pattern of a customers behavior and his response to a varied range of communications. As efficacy of communications vary due to differences in the quality of content and the platforms used, it is essential that the contents are captivating and the mediums of dissemination accessible to maximum number of potential consumers.

In some cases,It has now been observed that increase in sales is linked to promotion which involves third party endorsements and not direct communication or interaction with the target audience. Thus an indirect buzz generated by certain events, whether customized or of PR category has come to be having a decisive impact upon a customers decision.

Taking all these factors into consideration, it seems a fair proposition to diversify marketing activities and make it inclusive rather than being dependent on a solitary medium to achieve the targeted results.

Impact of PR on business growth

With attitude of people towards an organization or a person now is shaped by their perception about the organizations commitment towards the overall welfare of the community and the public orientation of its programs and functions, Public relation management has gained more importance in recent years.. Companies are now expected to be more people-centric in their operation and responsive to the expectations of the public. This has prompted redrawing of marketing strategies and allocation of more weight to PR in the campaign to conquer new market territories.

PR is no more only media relations and encompasses a wide spectrum of activities that seek to maintain a congenial relation with the people in general and the target audience in particular. In the fast changing business scenario, interactive communication and reflective decision making have assumed more importance due to a continuous need to stay updated on the consumer’s choices and preferences. Reconfiguration of marketing or communication strategy is often necessitated by the behavioral changes of the consumer which is a function of the dynamic character of the market.

The function of PR as a catalyst of business growth is now being realized more than ever before due to the growing sensitivity of people to issues that are not only commercial in nature, but relates to the overall interest of the community. An organization that is visibly committed to the social causes is most likely to have a better image equity than his competitors.

Besides, PR has become more useful a tool to eliminate negative propaganda that corrodes the faith of the consumer in a company’s brand and restore his confidence and consequent trust in it. Crises sprung up due to intra-organizational disputes and which threatens to affect employee confidence and productivity are successfully resolved by a prudent PR strategy.

Innovations in digisphere have widened the scope of PR activity and its potential to positively impact upon the bottom-line of a company. Real time feedback and a swift formulation of response in synch with public expectations are facilitated in an interactive framework which is made possible by utilizing digital media. With faster generation of insights, it becomes easy for marketing strategists to modulate their strategy and synchronize it with public expectations. A responsive and sensitive approach enhances the goodwill of the consumers and makes way for an enduring and sustained relationship which ultimately serves the commercial interest of the organization.

Strategic partnership

 

We know that every big organization is having its own talented marketing staff. Those having experience and expertise to carry out their responsibilities efficiently. However an outsider’s perspective on an organizations functioning bears more importance at times than the inner appraisal of the system where chances of bias always exist. So engagement of an outside agency helps in analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of an organization in a better way than a unilateral assessment by the house staff.

Engagement of an outside agency to work in alliance with the department staff  widens the scope of operation as cross flow of ideas, wisdom and insights  produce better results and create more opportunity for the firms. Apart from being cost effective, this practice also save time and effort on the part of the organization and reduce additional deployment of resources.

This also eliminates the need of never ending brain storming sessions by the departmental decision makers very often involving staff from other disciplines and having no links with the work of that particular department in the planning and strategy execution process  and without having any logical relevance or any impact on the final outcome. 

Strategic partnership weeds out the element of lethargy and elicit better effort from the employees as they become more vigilant and focused in the presence of an outside agency as their performance is  contrasted, evaluated and monitored by a  new yardstick under the new operational framework.
