broader than this. It includes all points of contact between the organization and other parties. It includes everything
from the way the telephone is answered, to the way the fleet of vehicles is maintained and used, to the quality of
envelopes used.
It is commonly accepted that Integrated Marketing Communications should be the goal of such a marketing
communications strategy. All points of contact with the organization should present the same corporate image.
Integrated Marketing Communication is more than the coordination of a company‟s outgoing message between
different media and the consistency of the message throughout. It is an aggressive marketing plan that captures and
uses an extensive amount of customer information in setting and tracking marketing strategy.

Increase Readership of Your Message – Run Two Ads in the Same Issue.
Studies have shown that more readers see ads when they are repeated over time, but how do readers respond when
an advertiser runs two different ads with the same sales message in the same issue?
Logic would say that adding a second advertisement to an issue would bring additional readers to the message. Some
readers who read the first ad would pass on the second, and some who didn‟t read the first ad would stop and read
the second. If the unduplicated readership of both ads is higher than the readership of the first ad, then the second
ad brings incremental readers to the message. In the case above, taken from two 1-page, 4-color ads running in a
single issue, 46% of respondents read the first ad and 38% read the second. The unduplicated readership though,
shows that 63% of respondents read at least one of the ads. Running the second ad increased readership of the
message by more than one third over the first ad.
Running two ads in an issue can help maximize readership of a sales message.

Marine Drive in Mumbai is filled continuously at a space of about 100-200 m with repetitive, but different Dove ads.
Each communicates the same product, yet is hits the consumer again and again. Thus the cumulative unduplicated
viewing percentage among consumers would be very high.
Co-branding is a marketing arrangement that associates a single product or service with more than one brand name,
or otherwise associates a product with someone other than the principal producer. The typical co-branding
agreement involves two or more companies acting in cooperation to associate any of various logos, color schemes, or
brand identifiers to a specific product that is contractually designated for this purpose. The object for this is to

Many online companies think they are pursuing co-branding when in fact they are pursuing strategic partnerships.
Partnerships, which have different goals than co-brands, are a way of leveraging a corporation‟s own strengths and
Umbrella Branding
As with all effective brand strategy, umbrella brands require a single message, an expression of a commonsense
benefit grounded in human emotion that opens the way to own the conversation within a business category.
With an umbrella brand, the number of interactions the consumer has with the brand increase significantly, thereby
reinforcing the brand values, and it helps transfer the goodwill to new products and categories. But the umbrella
brand needs to be focused: It must stand for the same values across the category or range of products, and have the
Generally, consumer durables and services brands have used umbrella branding, while FMCGs have not, but even they
Independent brands only make sense when the product clearly has a different proposition from the company brand;
In the case of Asian Paints, there were so many sub-brands, there was a reduction of media weights for advertising
each entity. Then, the company shifted to a brand-centric portfolio, which involved a change of logo, product names,
packaging and advertising. But the response from the trade and consumers has been positive, overall brand synergy
and shop presence have increased, and the advertising is more effective, he added.
So unless the product is clearly different in the mind of the consumer, umbrella branding is the way to go. NIVEA is a
Pull marketing is where you develop advertising and promotional strategies that are meant to entice the prospect to
buy your product or service. Some classic examples are “half off!” or “bring in this coupon to save 25%” or “buy one
get one free”, etc.
With pull marketing, you are trying to create a sense of increased, time limited value so that the customer will come
into your store to buy.
An example of this is a perfume product. Women do not request to smell a fragrance they never smelled before; it is
simply “pushed” at them, through the right advertisement.

In recent years, I‟ve seen a nearly exponential increase in the past decade – another type of push marketing is taking
over. It‟s the referral and word of mouth marketing. When companies encourage happy customers to spread the word
to their friends and families, that‟s a type of push marketing. Or, when companies make ads that are controversial,
cheeky, or downright shocking, they create a little buzz – that‟s another type of push marketing.
An example of this is the car manufacturing company Toyota. Toyota only produces cars when they have been
ordered by the customers.

In an attempt to try and solve the confusion, let us look at a few different angles.
Origins of the term refer back to the balance sheet – Above the Line advertising costs are part of „costs of sales‟ and

Tactile delivery is giving the audience something they can actually touch – so coupons, direct mail, product samples.
ATL tends to be visual/auditory where as BTL usually excludes auditory but includes sight, smell, touch, and even
taste.
Through the line (TTL) refers to an advertising strategy involving both above and below the line communications in
which one form of advertising points the target to another form of advertising thereby crossing the „line‟. An example
would be a TV commercial that says „come into the store to sample XYZ product‟. In this example, the TV commercial
is a form of „above the line‟ advertising and once in the store, the target customer is presented with „below the line‟
