DSM: PLANNING (APIC)
1. Target audiences
• Who is the target of the campaign
– Primary targets
– Secondary targets
DSM: Planning (APIC)
2.Objectives
• Hierarchical from the mission down to
marketing communications
• SMART i.e. specific, measurable,
achievable, relevant, timed.
• 3 T’s – time, target and task
• Don’t forget to quantify them
DSM: Planning (APIC)
Objectives models
DAGMAR
• Measure the result of a specific
communication task in terms of the think-feeldo/cognitive-affective-behavioural hierarchy
of effects on a defined audience
• Measure the degree of change in a given
time period as one moves through the
hierarchy
70% aware 50% understand 40% convinced 20% purchase
DSM: Planning (APIC)
Objectives examples
MARKETING AND MARKETING
COMMUNICATIONS
• Marketing objective to achieve 20% market
•
share in the first trading period (say) year.
Marketing communications objectives to help
achieve this could be many and varied with
the first being creation of 70 % awareness
through (say) advertising and so on.
DSM: Planning (APIC)
3. Positioning
• Customer’s perspective
• Strategic positioning is a result of
communicated perceptions about a product
or brand
• Position is a reference point vis-à-vis the
competition
• Position involves product attributes/features
with related perceived or otherwise benefits
• BMW thus becomes ‘the ultimate driving
machine’, Volvo is first of all safe, then has
longevity and now is well designed.
DSM: Planning (APIC)
Example of a positioning map (cars)
DSM: Planning (APIC)
Developing a positioning strategy - a seven
point system:
1. Determine relevant product/market - or more
than one if applicable
2. Identify the competition - whether primary
(Perrier versus other bottled water) or
secondary (Perrier versus other soft drinks)
3. Determine how consumers evaluate options marketers must understand the standards by
which consumers evaluate and reach
decisions
DSM: Planning (APIC)
4. Learn how competitors are perceived based on the same kinds of parameters.
5. Identify gaps in positions held - this
helps pinpoint gaps that are attractive
and that are not!
6. Plan and carry out the position strategy
- design a programme
7. Monitor the position - seek to check for
adjustments
