(IMC) is defined as customer centric, data
driven method of communicating with the
customers.
IMC is the coordination and integration of all
marketing communication tools, and
sources within a company that maximizes
the impact on consumers and other end
users at a minimum cost
This management concept is designed
to make all aspects of marketing
communication such as
advertising, sales promotion, public
relations, and direct marketing work
together as a unified force, rather than
work in separately.
Role of IMC
Several shifts in the advertising and media
industry have caused IMC popular for
marketers:suchas
 From media advertising to multiple forms of
communication.
 From mass media to more specialized (niche)
media, which are centered on specific target
audiences.
 From a manufacturer-dominated market to a
retailer-dominated, consumer-controlled market.
• From limited Internet access to 24/7
Internet availability and access to goods and
services.
 From general-focus advertising and
marketing to data-based marketing.
Importance of IMC.
 More valuable importance is that company
can maximize the influence to the buying
behavior of target customers by using the
various marketing tools for communication
in same period rather than having them
more separately.
 1. It can create competitive advantage, boost sales and
profits, while saving money, time and stress.
 2. IMC wraps communications around customers and
helps them move through the various stages of the
buying process.
 3. It build 'Relationship Marketing' which can protect
customers from competition. The ability to keep a
customer as loyal customer is a powerful competitive
advantage.

effectiveness of communication.

timely reminders, updated information .
6. IMC also makes messages more consistent , complete
and more credible. This reduces risk in the mind of
the buyer .
