Benefits of IMCIt can create competitive advantage, boost sales

its image, develop a dialogue and nurture its relationship with customers

Barriers to IMCSome organizational structures isolate
communications, data, and even managers from each other
IMC can restrict creativity. No more wild and wacky sales promotions unless they fit into the overall marketing communications strategy
Most managers and even agencies lack expertise in IMC.

Information SystemA system or process that provides
information needed to manage organizations effectively
A system in which marketing information is formally gathered, stored, analysed and distributed to managers in accordance with their informational needs on a regular basis
Marketing Information SystemThe information needed by marketing
managers comes from internal company records, marketing intelligence and marketing research.
The information analysis system then processes this information to make it more useful for managers.
People, equipment and procedures to gather, sort, analyze, evaluate and distribute needed, timely and accurate information to marketing decision makers
Internal RecordsInformation gathered from sources within the
company to evaluate marketing performances and to detect marketing problems and opportunities.
Most marketing managers use internal records and reports regularly, especially for making day-to-day planning, implementation and control decisions.
Internal records information consists of information gathered from sources within the company to evaluate marketing performance and to detect marketing problems and opportunities.
Marketing IntelligenceDaily information about developments in
changing marketing environment that helps managers prepares marketing plans
The marketing intelligence system determines the intelligence needed, collects it by searching the environment and delivers it to marketing managers who need it
Much intelligence is from the company's personnel - executives, engineers and scientists, purchasing agents and the sales force
Sourcing for informationThe company must also persuade suppliers, resellers
and customers to pass along important intelligence.Some information on competitor’s conies from what
they say about themselves in annual reports, speeches, press releases and advertisements.
The company can also learn about competitors from what others say about them in business publications and at trade shows
Buying and analyzing competitors' products, monitoring their sales and checking for new patents.
Companies also buy intelligence information from outside suppliers.
Cont’dSome companies set up an office to collect and
circulate marketing intelligence. The staff scans relevant publications, summarize
important news and send news bulletins to marketing managers.
They develop a file of intelligence information and help managers evaluate new information.
These services greatly improve the quality of information available to marketing managers.
The methods used to gather competitive information range from the ridiculous to the illegal.
‘Practical’ ExamplesFederal Express, within the marketing department,
activities are centered around customer segments. Each segment is staffed by a cross-functional team
composed of a manager, a marketer, an analyst, an agency account executive, and--if applicable--a representative from the agency-managed fulfillment house.
These cross-functional teams meet as frequently as necessary.
E-mail has greatly facilitated this integration. All marketing vendors are connected to FedEx and to
each other through the FedEx corporate e-mail system.
