--------------------------------

Promotion is essentially the art of communicating a product’s benefits to customers and convincing them to acquire the product once, or ideally, a repeated number of times.

There are three degrees of brand loyalty:

Awareness

Preference

And Insistence

Marketing communication revolves around the three. Customers must know a product exists. Once they do, we need to convince them it is better than competitor products so they can develop a preference. In the best-case scenario, customers who prefer the product will understand its features well, which will develop informational awareness, and that will make them able to explain its benefits to other customers.

Continued purchasing of a product, brand insistence, is the goal of promotional communication. It occurs when customers link a product with their own lifestyle. The feeling of personal connection turns repeated customers into raving fans.
