  17. DSM: Planning (APIC) Objectives models  DAGMAR • Measure the result of a specific communication task in terms of the think-feel-do/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

  18. 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.

  21. 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

  22. 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
