Introduction


Marketing Communication has always been one of the key points to an enterprise’s success; how the products or services are being portrayed through the ads are very likely to help affect the sales rates. The aims of Marketing Communication are to convince consumers to use their products, to give them an alternative or convince them to change their current products, and to increase the company’s sales profits. Because of this, financial success is the goal of Marketing Communication, and it may be achieved through an equally successful persuasive ads.  According to Shimp (2003), there is ample evidence that the century-long domination in marketing communications by mass media advertising and advertising agencies is coming to an end. Marketing budgets are being shifted away from traditional advertising to behavior-oriented disciplines like consumer promotion, direct marketing, and direct-response advertising. Retailers are gaining strength over manufacturers New media technologies are increasing the fragmentation of media usage. On the other hand, prime-time television, long the main channel for mass campaigns, has had its audience diminish from 90 percent to 68 percent in the last 20 years (Griffin & Mcarthur, 1997).


Every company is inevitably cast into the role of communicator and promoter. For most companies, the question is not whether to communicate but rather what to say, to whom, and how often. It has been noted that marketing communication is like a coin which has two sides. The first side of marketing communication is concerned with efficiently and effectively giving information and details about the company and the products or services to a chose market segments. However, in isolation, what to say and to whom this will be told can be nothing more than a risky second-guessing regarding the allegiances and interests of other individuals. The second face of marketing communication is the inquiry. This side of the marketing communication task gives emphasis with learning from other people regarding the values and interests, and eventually relating this to the interests of the personnel working in the organisation. Such process should logically precede the promotion of a specific standpoint in terms of product desirability and relevant consumer satisfaction (Fill, 2002


Eventually, several companies began to go beyond conventional practice and used other promotional specialists to improve and implement their market plans. Primary, the main goal of this report is to compare and analyse the strategic effectiveness of the marketing communications strategy used by different events or festivals in various countries.  For this report, the sport events that will be analysed are the recent Hong Kong Electronics Fair, Hong Kong Rugby Seven, and Singapore Arts Festival. In this report, the marketing communication of each of the events will be given emphasis.


 


Overview of Marketing Communication


It is said that each and every organisation, may it be public, private or non-profit organisation should be able to consider strategic marketing approach so as to ensure competitive position in the marketplace (Moschis, 1994). One of the most important aspects of marketing is marketing communications (See Appendix 1). It is significant because it enables an industry to communicate effectively and efficiently with their target market.  Marketing communications is the term generally preferred to promotions. It is a vital contributor to the satisfaction of customer needs and wants. As such, it is essential that managers have an understanding of the factors that are involved in the development of strategies that enable organizations to communicate with their consumers (Shimp, 2003), their channel participants and with other stakeholders, such that those relationships may be developed over the long term.


Every company is inevitably cast into the role of communicator and promoter. For most companies, the question is not whether to communicate but rather what to say, to whom, and how often. It has been noted that marketing communication is like a coin which has two sides. The first side of marketing communication is concerned with efficiently and effectively giving information and details about the company and the products or services to a chose market segments. However, in isolation, what to say and to whom this will be told can be nothing more than a risky second-guessing regarding the allegiances and interests of other individuals. The second face of marketing communication is the inquiry. This side of the marketing communication task gives emphasis with learning from other people regarding the values and interests, and eventually relating this to the interests of the personnel working in the organisation. Such process should logically precede the promotion of a specific standpoint in terms of product desirability and relevant consumer satisfaction (Fill, 2002)


The overall result of this effort is intended to be the positioning of the provider as an efficient preferred source of solutions to problems experienced by people as buyers and consumers. This is the managerial aim in managing marketing communication. The challenge is to ensure that expressive communicative activity is clear, consistent, and coherent, while also enabling and facilitating impressive communicative activity that aids judgement and decision-making. Marketing communication is widening in scope to embrace the idea that healthy relationships between customers and suppliers are the basis for the prosperity of each. Expectations are growing for authentic communication as part of a stakeholder relationship based on trust and commitment of core benefits to users and consumers so must be differentiated through benefit augmentation to attract buyer and consumer attention when promoted (Clow & Baack, 2004).


 


Comparison Analysis


Overview of the Electronic Events


            Hong Kong Electronics Fair has been conducted to facilitate exhibits of the new electronic and technology products and designs from different industries and multinationals. It caters to the needs of the customers to know the latest and the most innovative products and services a company can offer. Throughout the years, the event was being held and each year new companies are joining the event showing and demonstrating their products and designs at the fair. Since there are more people who are purchasing and utilising electronics, the interest in these products is reflected in the growth of the Hong Kong Electronics Fair. Every year is considered a bigger event, having to expand their venue into the adjacent building so as to accommodate guests, exhibitors and spectators.


            In order to attract more vendors and industries to show their new and latest products, the Hong Kong Electronics Fair events facilitators are using an efficient marketing communication.  By implementing integrated communication more effectively, any firm may gain advantage by offering its product or service that is cost effective as compared to other products or service in the market. So the writers or speakers in any business organization may gain competitive advantage over its competitors by using effective business communication techniques as if they are differentiated from their competitors by offering their target market something unique and different that is of more value. So the business communication is more related to the concept of rhetoric which is treated as a discipline that concentrates on effective communication in oral, written and print media that places the audience at the center of communication activity.   Herein, the event is using print advertisements, media and internet advertisement to announce when the event will be held. Through their official websites, people and industries can see the agenda of the event including the schedules.


            It can be said that during the fair, most of the exhibitors of the events are using personal selling approach. Sales are an important part of any commercial transaction. The most common approach to personal selling pertains to a systematic process of continuous yet measurable methods in which the person selling describes his offered products or services in such a way that the buyer will be able to visualize how to benefit from the offered products or services in an economic way. Selling is basically a part of the implementation procedures of marketing.  It often forms a particular grouping within a corporate structure, employing independent specialist operatives known as salesmen (Berger, Demsetz & Strahan 1999).


The continued interrogation in order to understand a consumer’s goal as well as the establishment of a set of feasible solutions by conveying the necessary information that convinces a buyer to achieve his goal at a reasonable cost is the main responsibility of the sales person. On the other hand, the main objective of professional sales is to be able to know the needs and satisfy the wants of consumers effectively, and therefore convert possible customers into actual and reliable ones.


Some of the distinct advantages of personal selling include the immediate access to feedback, the persuasive nature of the endeavours, the option of choosing a target audience for the sales person, and its capability to give detailed information. For some scholars, personal selling is a one to one communication with potential customers of a specific product or services with the intention of making a sale.  In Business to business marketing communication, the concept of personal selling is considered essential. Through the aspect of personal selling, it enables the marketers that the entire campaign element has been integrated in order to achieve the desirable marketing communication objectives. Consumer does not separate or divide advertising, sales promotion, sponsorship and internet as marketing communications techniques. They tend to receive the messages from various sources and build-up either favourable or unfavourable images a certain products or services.  As far as they are concerned, the source of the message is unimportant. What they will be concerned with is the content of the message and to what degree the product promise is actually delivered (Fill & Yeshin, 2001).


            In addition, the use of effective communication plays a critical role in the Hong Kong Electronics Fait n in a way that it gives the opportunity for the product to sustain its marketability. The application of integrated marketing tools can enable the sellers or marketers to communicate with the other target segment. For instance because of the increasing popularity of the world wide web, each company that invests in having their own website will have the chance to reach consumers locally and internationally. This means that the reach of the product are also extended and expanded in the global market, through the use of integration of effective marketing communication approach. With this, products of different company in the Hong Kong Electronics Fair will be able to emerge quickly in the marketplace since the tools and approaches of integrated Business to business marketing communication will act as shop window for many businesses today. In addition, through personally selling integrated with it, this will also permit the clients to easily know important information about a specific product and to know the different features a specific product.


 In addition, the effective marketing communication is also important in impacting the product since this will served as a marketing communication approach for effectively promoting the new electronic and technology products and services, which will aim to result in a more sales from other distribution channels.   


            The rationale for choosing this marketing channel is that Integrated marketing communication can help products to meet target consumers worldwide and this could be a great opportunity to be developed and in order for product to be quickly recognized by the target market.
