CHAPTER II
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
In this chapter we will describe the theories that related with our thesis and
uses as a guidance in our analysis along this thesis. The theories are related with the
taget marketing process of a product until the communications process.
1.1. The Target Marketing Process
Companies often develop different marketing strategies to satisfy different
consumer needs. The process by which marketer do is referred to as target marketing
and involves four basic steps: identifying markets with unfulfilled needs, segmenting
the market, targeting specific segments, and positioning one’s product or service
through marketing strategies.
Figure 2.1: The target marketing process (Belch & Belch, 2008)
When we applied the target marketing strategy, we have to identify the
specific needs of group of people, select one or more of these segments as a target,
and then develop various marketing programs directed to each (Belch & Belch,
Advertising and Promotion, 2008). Target market identification isolates consumers

with similar lifestyles, needs, the likeness, and increase our knowledge of their
specific requirements. The more we can establish this common ground with
consumers, the more effective they will be in addressing these requirements in their
communications (Belch & Belch, Advertising and Promotion, 2008).
After identifying the market, it is not possible for us to develop any specific
marketing strategy for each consumer. But we attempts to identify board classes of
buyers who have the same needs and will respond similarly to marketing actions. As
cited at Berkowitz in Belch & Belch at Advertising and Promotion, market
segmentation is dividing up a market into distinct groups that have common needs
and will respond similarly to marketing actions. The more market segmented, the
more precise is their understanding of it, but in contrary, the fewer consumers there
are in each segment.
The output of the segmentation will reveal the market opportunities available,
and then we should decide our targeted market. Targeting market process involves
two steps; determining how many segments to enter and which segments offer the
most potential (Belch & Belch, Advertising and Promotion, 2008).
Positioning has been defined as the image that comes to mind and the
attributes consumers perceive as related to the product or service. Brand positioning
is the act of designing the company’s offer and image so that it occupies a distinct
and value place in the target customer’s mind (Keller, 2008). Good brand positioning
helps to guide marketing strategy by clarifying what a brand is all about, how it is
unique and how it is similar to competitive brands, and why consumer should
14
purchase and use it. When the brands are established, competitive force often dictate
shifts in positioning strategy overtime (Keller, 2008).
1.2. The Communication Process
Communications efforts should be viewed from the perspective of managing
customer relationships over time (Kotler, 2007). The communication process begins
with an audit of all potential contacts a customer might have with the brand. Effective
communication requires knowledge of how communication works.
Figure 2.2: The basic communication.(McGraw-Hill, 2006).
Note:
1. Source is an organization or individual sending the message.
2. Encoding is the process of translating an idea into a form of communication.
3. Message is the communication in physical form.
4. Media is communication vehicle used to reach members of a target audience.
15
5. Decoding is process whereby a receiver assigns meaning to a message.
6. Receiver is an individual or organization that intercepts and interprets the message.
7. Response in behavioral learning is the action taken by a consumer to satisfy a drive. In the
feedback loop, is the impact the message had on the receiver’s knowledge, attitudes, or behaviors.
8. Feedback is receiver’s reactions to the message
9. Noise anything that interferes with effective communication.
Based on Kotler & Amstrong, 2005, to developing an effective
communication, there are some aspects that should be considered:
a. Identifying the Target Audience, Affects decisions related to what, how, when,
and where message will be said, as well as who will say it
b. Determining Communication Objectives
c. Designing a Message, Kotler (2003) suggest that formulating the message will
require to consider four aspects:
Figure 2.3. Designing The Message Stages. (Philip Kottler, 2003)
Message Content: Rational Appeals, Emotional Appeals and Moral Appeals
Message Structure: Draw Conclusions, Argument Type and Argument Order
Message Format: Layout, Words, Sounds and Body Language
Message Sources: Expertise, trustworthiness, and likeability
16
• Message Content
The contents of a message are divided into three types, such as rational
Appeals, emotional Appeals and moral Appeals. Rational Appeals means that
the content of messages delivered in relation to interest the target audience's.
Emotional appeal means that the content of messages delivered in relation to
the emotional mix of target audiences. Moral Appeals means is the message
delivered in relation to the value of the target audience.
• Message Structure
Effectiveness of a message depends on its structure and content. The message
that will be delivered to the target audience has three options for the structure
of the message, as follows:
- Provide the conclusion at the end of the message being delivered, or to
provide the opportunity for the target audience to make their own
conclusions.
- Putting in a strong message at the beginning or the end of the message.
- Shows only the excess product or shows lack of product.
• Message Format
Message format need to be created in such a way that it sends a strong
message to the audience. Format a message related to the creation and use of
headline, copy, illustrations, and color. Marketers must be able to combine
both elements - elements that can be used in a good format for a message that
can attract the target audience and increase the effectiveness of a message.
17
• Message sources
Delivering messages through popular and attractive sources often got higher
attention and recall. This is why the advertisers often use celebrities as
spokesperson. Expertise, trustworthiness, and likeability are other three
important sources. Expertise is the specialized knowledge the communicator
possesses to back his claim. Trustworthiness is related to how objective and
honest the source is perceived to be. Likeability describes the source’s
attractiveness. The most highly credible source would be a person who scores
high on all three dimensions.
d. Choosing Media
Marketers can choose from two types of communication channels of
communication that is personal and non-personal communication. In selecting the
media for advertising, attempt to market Identify your audience and then decide
the best way to attract their attention.
• Radio
Radio advertising is more effective when it is used frequently, but be sure you
identify what the prime listening time is for your clients. The individual
stations will provide rate cards with audience profiles and discuss what can be
bought with your budget.
• Television
This is very expensive and most small businesses cannot afford this type of
advertising. If you decide it is for you, choose the channel and timing most
18
appropriate for you. Most channels have facilities to make your ad and can
advise of the appropriate time to place your ad. The businesses it serves best
are those with products and services with a wide appeal, not specialised
businesses
• Newspapers
There are three main categories: daily, weekly and local or community papers.
The daily papers generally have a much wider circulation and higher
advertising costs. When placing ads in newspapers, be certain that your ad is
placed in the appropriate section of the paper. Make sure you prepare a budget
and target your audience before deciding in which paper(s) to run your ad.
• Magazines
There is a wide variety of these and before advertising you must assess which
will best suit your target market. Magazines best serve businesses whose
target markets are well defined, such as restaurants, entertainment and
specialty shops.
• Internet
The Internet has opened up a whole new world of options for both business
and consumers and is especially powerful as a medium for advertising and
promoting services and branded products. A well-structured website may
reach a great number of potential clients.
19
• Others
Placing an ad in the Yellow Pages telephone directory is a very good method
of advertising for services. Another important method is to display an
outstanding sign at your place of business which will attract local traffic.
Check with your local Council regarding approvals before erecting any
external signage.
e. Find the right message
Source message is that the source is made in the delivery of messages.
Error message in the source selection will impact on the results of the marketing
communication.
f. Collecting feedback response from the target audience
Final stage of marketers should be done is to reverse the response from the
target audience on the activities of communication which have been made. The
response back is very important because if the response to the request of a
consumer marketing communication negative then marketers can quickly change
the program communication strategy products.
1.3. Integrated Marketing Communications
With a wide range of communications channels available to social marketers
it is crucial that these deliver consistent messages. Belch and Belch (2007) describe
the move towards integrated marketing communications (IMC) as one of the most
significant marketing developments. Adopt the American Association of Advertising
Agencies definition of IMC in Belch and Belch, 2007:
20
“… a concept of marketing communications planning that recognizes the
added value of a comprehensive plan that evaluates the strategic roles of a variety of
communication disciplines – for example, general advertising, direct response, sales
promotion and public relations – and combines these disciplines to provide clarity,
consistency and maximum communications impact.”
IMC lays in our overall marketing effort which we call it “4 Ps” as product,
price, place, and promotion. Integrated marketing communications is a way of
looking at the whole marketing process from the viewpoint of the customer and
involves the coordination of all promotional activities1
. Bellow is the tools for IMC:

• Advertising
Based on Belch and Belch in Integrated Marketing Communications,
advertising is any paid form of non-personal communication about an
organization, product, service, idea or cause by an identified sponsor. Advertising
is almost always a cooperative relationship between words and images to create a
synergistic campaign. Based on Landa, 2009, there are three main elements in
advertising;
1. line (the main verbal message),
2. visual (the main visual message or image),
3. and body copy (the text of the ad or supports main message)
Those three elements should communicate and express the advertising
message. Advertising is dividing into some categories as bellow:
• Conventional Advertising
Conventional advertising is the basic way of advertising through the print
media such as magazines, newspaper, billboard, standing banner, and
electronic media like television and radio.
• Unconventional Advertising
Guerilla advertising (also called unconventional advertising) is an advertising
that “ambushes” the viewer (Landa, 2009). It appears in unpaid media in the
public environment – places and surface, where the conventional advertising
doesn’t belong. It is used to grab the public attentions in unexpected places
22
and ways. The benefits of using this advertising are to enhance the efficacy of
traditional advertising campaign, earn press coverage, cost effective,
efficiently to the targeted audiences, and be interactive (Landa, 2009).
• Online or Viral
Online guerilla or viral marketing is online advertising that people pass on to
share with friends and colleagues, either because they think it is entertaining
or because they are offered an incentive (Landa, 2009).
• Ambient
Ambient media advertising is placed near or at the point of purchase (POP),
thereby targeting consumers at the time when they are most likely to buy or
contribute (Landa, 2009).
• Sales Promotion
Marketing activities that provide extra value or incentives to the sales force,
distributors, or ultimate consumers and can stimulate immediate sales (Belch
& Belch, 2007). Using the variety of formats like premiums, coupons,
contests, to attract attention, and stimulates quick response (Kotler, 2007).
Even though offering strong purchase incentives, dramatizes offers, boosts
sagging sales, but the cycles of sales promotions are in short lived and seems
un-effective at building long-term brand preferences (Kotler, 2007).
• Direct Marketing
A system of marketing by which organizations communicates directly with
target customers to generate a response and/or a transaction (Belch & Belch,
23
2007). Direct marketing can be done in any forms like telephone marketing,
direct mail, online marketing, etc. This kind of promotion is well-suited to
highly targeted marketing efforts (Kotler, 2007).
• Public Relations
Non-personal communication regarding an organization, product, service, or
idea not directly paid for or run under identified sponsorship (Belch & Belch,
2007). Public relations were build in many forms like news stories, news
features, events and sponsorships, by dramatizes company or benefits. It is
highly credible because it can reaches many prospects missed via other forms
of promotion, but it often the most underused element in the promotional mix
(Kotler, 2007).
• Personal Selling
Direct person-to-person communication whereby a seller attempts to assists
and or persuades perspective buyers to purchase a product or service
(Belch&Belch, 2007). As the most expensive of the promotional tools, the
advantages of using sales promotion are stated below (Kotler, 2007);
- the most effective tool for building buyers’ preferences, convictions, and
actions
- Personal interaction allows for feedback and adjustments
- Relationship oriented
- Buyers are more attentive
- Sales force represents a long-term commitment
24
• Interactive / Internet Marketing
A form of marketing communication through interactive media which allow
for a two-way flow of information whereby users can participate in and
modify the content of the information they receive in real time (Belch &
Belch, 2007). Even the uses of internet is not yet a mass medium as many
consumers lack access and the attention to an internet ads is very low due to
the great deal of clutter, internet marketing also bring some benefits to the
company (Kotler, 2007);
- Messages can be tailored to specific interests and needs of customers.
- Interactive nature of the Internet leads to higher level of involvement.
- Can provide large amounts of information to customers.
1.4. Integrated Marketing Communication Process
The integration marketing communication process activities summarized
simply by Chriss Fill (1995), in his book, namely Marketing Communication. Model
can be seen in the picture below.
25
Figure 2.5. Model Integration Process Activities Marketing Communication
On the model of Figure 2.5, the process to integrate the marketing
communication activities carried out by integrating elements of - elements of the
marketing communication advertising, direct response, sales promotion, public
relations, and personal selling to communicate a message to the target audience. So,
that each element in marketing communications cannot be used separately, but must
be combined to be able to sustain one another.

communications, brand positioning and product brand or company, the budget of the
company, research and evaluation, and factors - factors that influence the
effectiveness of marketing communications activities. It - it must be considered in the
mature integrate elements of marketing communications.
Petrison and Wang (1996), says some obstructions in the process of
integration of elements of marketing communications, as follows:
• Availability of database marketing that enables marketers to design a
communication to the specific type of consumer.
• The development concept of niche marketing and micro marketing, where the
concept is to apply a different message, and separately for each segment of
consumers.
• Specific method used by the practitioners advertising on the whim of each means
of communication affect marketing message is delivered.
• There is a diversification effort in the department or company.
• There are cultural differences in national and international so that a message
cannot be digested well to different cultures.
• Effective Internet marketing requires a comprehensive strategy that synergizes a
given company's business model and sales goals with the function and display a
web site, with a focus on the target market through proper choice of advertising
type, media, and design.
27
1.5. AIDA Framework
In Belch & Belch, the most important aspect of developing an effective
integrated marketing communication involves understanding the response process the
receiver may go through in moving towards a behavior (purchase the product) and
how the promotional efforts influence consumer responses. Understanding of
different communication stages and objectives is a very important step for
communicating professionals in order to be able designing an effective
communication program. Lack of knowledge of this hierarchy model of
communication can cause communication group to repeat the same programs to
achieve the same objectives at the same stage such as cognitive stage. Therefore,
these response-hierarchy models can be used as a tool to diagnose communication
program effectiveness of an organization.
The AIDA was developed to represent the stages a consumer may pass
through in moving from a state of not being aware of a product to the actual purchase
behavior. AIDA stand for Awareness, Interest, Desire, and Action, one of theories of
advertising’s role to create awareness of a brand or product, which over time
generates interest in trying it, in-which eventually transformed into desire, which
builds and builds until, finally, the consumers’ moved to action (Sanchez, Customer
Relationship Marketing).
28
Figure 2.6. AIDA Framework. Keller, 2008
The AIDA model is fairly simple, before customers make a purchase decision,
they need to be aware that the products are exist, what it is, what it does, and perhaps
also where and when it is available. The first thing to do is getting their attention to
be stimulated to take some interest towards the product. What special features does
the product have? What benefits does it offer to consumers? How might it satisfy any
one of a variety of needs and wants that the consumer might have? During this stage
the consumer develops a reaction to the product, usually either favorable or
unfavorable. If the response is favorable and the advertisement is successful in
awakening interest, it then attempts to create in the consumer's mind a desire to
purchase. It does this by successfully connecting the benefits of the product with the
consumer's needs and wants.
The most difficult aspect of advertising design is one thing to portray a
product in an attractive manner that stimulates interest in consumers, it is quite
another to persuade them that they actually need it. Advertising has to both show
consumers that there is a product available which will satisfy their needs, and show
29
them that they can satisfy that need by purchasing the product in question. This leads
to the final stage, action, where consumers actually get up, go out, actively seek the
product and buy it2
1.6. SWOT Analysis
.
The SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats) flows
from a situation analysis that examines the company’s internal strengths and
weakness with respect to the environment and the competition, and look at external
opportunities and threats (Strauss & Frost, 2009).

contingency plans to address them if they should occur.
