课程笔记

Place

  • Place concerns how and where customers can obtain the offer, including direct producer-to-consumer routes and routes through retailers or wholesalers. Online retail can be direct or intermediary-based; click and collect combines online ordering with physical collection.
  • Compare product characteristics, target needs, control, availability, service, commissions and fulfilment costs. Removing an intermediary can add distribution or customer-support work to the producer, so direct selling is not automatically cheaper overall.

Promotion

  • Promotion can inform, persuade, remind or change an image. Methods include advertising, incentives such as samples or coupons, PR, sponsorship, personal selling, direct marketing and suitable product placement. Methods can overlap in a coherent campaign.
  • Advertising is paid communication placement; PR activity can incur costs without guaranteeing media coverage; sponsorship exchanges support for association or promotional benefits. Personal selling can be interactive phone or online contact, not only face-to-face meetings.

Digital marketing

  • Digital tools include websites, social media, ads, email and SEO. They may support audience targeting and measurement but require content, management and often expenditure. Apply relevant advertising, privacy and marketing rules; influencer advertising should be recognisable as advertising.
  • SEO aims to support unpaid-search discoverability and is distinct from buying search ads. No ranking is guaranteed. Impressions count displays rather than necessarily unique people, clicks record an action, and conversions depend on the chosen tracked outcome. Measurement gaps and attribution uncertainty remain.

Choosing methods

  • Choose by audience, objective, product, budget, competitor activity, availability and operational capacity. A suitable channel needs a relevant message and feasible offer; low cost per display alone does not establish value.
  • Fictional bookshop launch: £100 local print + £120 local digital ads + £80 opening activity = £300. These figures are teaching assumptions, not quotes or evidence that the plan will work. Investigate reach and response, and ensure promised stock and service can be delivered.

Integrated mix

  • Product, price, place and promotion should support the intended positioning and customer needs. A premium claim needs suitable quality and service; heavy discounts may affect image or train customers to wait, although some offers can fit a strategy.
  • Fictional two-for-one example: usual price £4 and variable cost £1.50 per item. Two separate sales give £5 contribution before fixed costs; the offer gives £1 per pair. Extra demand or other benefits may help, but distributed volume is not the same as profit.

Evaluating

  • Evaluate relevant outcomes against cost: awareness, qualified enquiries, trial, purchases or repeat activity, according to the objective. Views and clicks alone do not establish extra profit or what would have occurred without promotion.
  • For the explicit fictional ROI definition, estimated extra contribution before campaign cost £1,500 minus campaign cost £500 = £1,000 net gain; £1,000 ÷ £500 × 100 = 200%. This differs from dividing sales revenue by spend, and depends on the attribution and cost assumptions.
