However, many marketers feel very unsure how the various rules and regulations affect them. This handbook examines the key issues that affect marketers in marketing communications, including both traditional media such as advertisements and social media. Written by a marketer, rather than a lawyer, this handbook is designed to give practical guidance on all the necessary aspects. Legal language is very precise, and hence complicated; this handbook uses colloquial language for clarity. Each chapter includes clear summaries, examples and flow diagrams to help marketers understand how to comply.

Download or read book Cambridge Marketing Handbook Stakeholder written by Terry Nicklin and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marketers have long held the view that the customer should be central to all they think about, all they do. Yet the developments of the last few years have shown that other forces are at play that can be at least as powerful and long lasting. A broader group of stakeholders exists whose needs and interests must be understood and satisfied in the quest for a strong corporate reputation and business success. Most recently the impact of the internet and social media has amplified the power of individuals to comment on, and ultimately to influence, the activities of organizations of all types. This handbook examines the identification of stakeholders: internal, connected and external, their ability to affect the organization, and how organizations should relate to them. It also examines the organization itself and the factors which influence the development of its corporate image among its various stakeholder audiences.

Download or read book Cambridge Marketing Handbook Services written by Andrew Hatcher and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are only two categories of purchases that people can make: products or services. Each, by its very nature, demands a different approach to marketing and sales. This situation is not new and indeed was highlighted in the early 1800s when French economist Jean-Baptiste Say argued that production and consumption were inseparable in services, coining the term "immaterial products" to describe them. This book takes a fresh look at the world of services marketing (the Servicescape) as we transition from the information age into what is being called the Age of Awareness - a period where individuals move away from information browsing and collection to the application of knowledge, emotion and responsibility to consumption, production and relationships. Revealing the impact of these changes on the marketing of services, it focuses on the role of people and processes in delivering success.
