Promotional activities
As we all know, in the present era, selling is a complicated task. There may be tough competition. There may be many alternate products. Products have become more consumer oriented. Consumers have become more sophisticated. For instance, they possess the best products at a fair price. The products are of a better quality than the alternate produce for sale. But sales are not automatic. The prior idea of the production is for the sales. People must have knowledge of the existence of the product and its availability. This is possible only through a good propoganda. There arises a need for proper flow of information along with products from producer to consumer. Thus promotion turns out to be a marketing communication process aimed to inform and influence people.
