Secondary - Marketing Research.

Secondary - Marketing Research.
Secondary marketing research, or desk research, already exist in one form or another. It is relatively cheap, and can be conducted quite quickly .However, it tends to have been collected for reasons other than for the problem or objective at hand. So it may be untargeted, and difficult to use to make comparisons (e.g. financial data gather on Australian pensions will be different to data on Italian pensions). There are a number of such sources available to the marketer, and the following list is by no means conclusive:
Trade associations
National and local press Industry magazines
National/international governments
Websites
Informal contacts
Trade directories
Published company accounts
Business libraries
Professional institutes and organisations
Omnibus surveys
Previously gathered marketing research
Census data

Fewer people satisfy the higher leve...

Promotion.

Another one of the 4P's is 'promotion'. This includes all of the tools available to the marketer for 'marketing communication'. As with Neil H.Borden's marketing mix, marketing communications has its own 'promotions mix.' Think of it like a cake mix, the basic ingredients are always the same. However if you vary the amounts of one of the ingredients, the final outcome is different. It is the same with promotions. You can 'integrate' different aspects of the promotions mix to deliver a unique campaign. The elements of the promotions mix are: Personal Selling. Sales Promotion. Public Relations. Direct Mail. Trade Fairs and Exhibitions. Advertising. Sponsorship. The elements of the promotions mix are integrated to form a coherent campaign. As with all forms of communication.
