Should Marcom Objectives Be Stated in Terms of Sales? The Traditional View (Thesis) Using sales response as the objective for a branded product’s marcom effort is unsuitable for two reasons: • A host of factors (e. g. , advertising, sales promotions, and other elements of the marcom program) can affect sales. • Marcom’s effect on sales is typically delayed, or lagged. The Heretical View (Antithesis) • Marcom objectives should always be stated in terms of sales or market share gains and that failure to do so is a cop-out • Marcom’s purpose is to generate sales. Accountability Perspective (Synthesis) • Companies and their chief executives and financial officers are demanding greater accountability from marcom programs • Efforts should not also be made to assess whether marcom affects pre-sales goals. © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning.
