How can Integrated Marketing Communications help me, the small business owner?Integrated Marketing Communication is essential to small business owners because they, even more so than large corporations can not afford to misspend or waste money on a single isolated marketing e
1. FUZZY RESULT. You don't have a clear picture of the result you want the communication to produce. It's hard to persuade if you don't know exactly what you want the listener to do. The more measurable the desired action, the better you will be able to create the right messages.
2. WRONG AUDIENCE. You can have a powerfully persuasive message, but if the audience is unable to give you the result you want, you're wasting both your time and the audience's.
