Understanding and modern development of branding advertising

Branding advertisements other than traditional means (ATL-Technology) (above the line - above the line) - traditional means of sale (direct advertising) includes so-called BTL-technology (below the line - under the line) which refer to non-traditional sales techniques (small advertising).

The origin of the term BTL was born 50 years ago, when one of the company ' s executives PPOG, making the marketing cost estimates, including advertising in the press, TV, etc., and summarizing the outcome. But I remembered that I didn't take into account the cost of giving free samples and other actions to advance the product. It was therefore necessary to write these figures below, i.e. under the line.

Reasons for increasing popularity of BTL technology in the world:

:: Reduction of the effectiveness of traditional means of promotion;

:: Retail trade structure (networkshop development). In sales, between 60 and 80 per cent of purchase orders are made. When using BTL technology, sales increase between 2 and 4 times and 10 times.

The following classification of BTL services may be provided.

1. Direct marketing (direct marketing).

2. Promotion of marketing (sales promotion).

3. Business marketing (event marketing).

4. Other.

We'll look at the details of every BTL technique.

Promotion of marketing (sales promotion) is a set of marketing activities aimed at increasing sales (stimulation of purchasing demand, acceleration of marketing and delivery). Both consumers (consumer promotion) and sellers (trade promotion).

Consumer promotion is a set of activities aimed at the buyer, through which the purpose of inducement to purchase a trial, encourage re-purchase, increase the frequency of consumption of the produce (services). Purchasing is the most massive and visible type of BTL activity.

Consumer-oriented shares (consumer promotion) can include:

:: Promodels - interactive activities aimed at consumers when they are offered:

- Take a free sample of products or advertisements (sampling - sampling);

- try the product (deguration);

- To take part in the lottery, the competition, the prizes (play marketing);

- To know the properties of the product (presentation, consultation).

• POS (Point of Sales) materials - promotional materials for use in sales (merchandise) places, the purpose of which is to increase the sale of a particular product or group of goods at a given trade point (sprays, volbles, dispensers, jumbi, silftoxers, litboxes, stylers, mobile benches, banners);

Visual communications - a set of indicators (wirings, panels, promotion boards, information walls, etc.) that help to guide the space and provide users with the necessary information (location of facilities and their parts, deployment of specific staff, time of operation, etc.);

Developmental marketing (event marketing) - activities aimed at promoting brands, services and companies through bright and rememberable events. It is often not important to participate in the event, but the information wave it caused and the perception of the user of the stamp products of his involvement.

The following activities can be included in recent marketing:

Events are special events and actions that can not only be remembered, but also in some cases become news:

Presentation, opening ceremony;

• Festival, fair, holiday;

Meeting, round table, conference, seminar;

Sponsoring is investing in special events for its own advertising and PR.

Public relations (public relations) (PR) - formation, maintenance and change of public opinion:

Communication with the media;

:: Management of images and reputations;

• Internal corporate PR;

• Anti-crisis response.

Other developments are, for example:

Special programmes for the promotion of goods and services through show-to-marketing;

sponsorship of a particular sporting team, which can be both financial and service to a team of its products or services (spore marketing);

• buzz-marketing (buzz - sounding) - rumour generation, public opinion resonance after the event. It involves agitating, making noise around the product, both technical and natural means of communication. Above all, buzz-marketing is a rumour system and the ability to support discussions, that is, to deal with what the PR traditionally does. This includes information technology for the management of an event, and the use of typical psychological interventions. Such technology is used to launch low-budgeted newcomers to complex recycled markets. It is effective for products intended for young people, or for innovative things, as well as for expensive images.

Advertising media has a special place, common objects and materials that are suddenly advertised. It is not clear how to classify them whether they are the variety of traditional outdoor (outdoor) or internal (indoor) means of advertising, or whether they are more appropriately classified in BTL. Intelligence Consulting Company (which enters the Starcom MediaVest Group Russia) proposed a classification made by the British outdoor operator Concord in 1998 (table 6.1).
