behind the scenes and how the aims and objectives if a selected company is
integrated in their promotional objectives as well as how they target their audience.
In today's marketing environment, promotion involves integrated marketing communication
(IMC). In a nutshell, IMC involves bringing together a variety of different communication tools
to deliver a common message and make a desired impact on customers' perceptions and
behavior.

and great quality products at reasonable prices.
They also have aspirations of becoming the biggest multi-chain supermarket in the UK.

recreating universal customer appeal through giving their customers an ever improving
shopping experience. This means they will look for ways to do things better every day.

Sainsbury’s advertising strategy is designed to get people off the shopping treadmill and into
more courageous eating. Beneath the strap line “Try Something New Today” inaugurated in

supermarket it also has to express this message to the as broad group of people as
possible. The plan is to reach all possible Sainsbury’s customers and not just the well off.

and promotional objectives
Sainsbury’s make it their mission to create awareness of the company as well as the
products and services that they provide. They do this by using a marketing mix.
The use of a marketing mix allows the company to reach a larger audience with the use of
the 5Ps which are product, place , price, people and promotion. These main components
, make a large difference in the awareness a company generates, this is due to the audience
or target market of the company.
For example, Sainsbury’s aims to provide great customer service and great quality products
at cheaper prices. Using the 5Ps with a large emphasis on promotion will help generate
awareness. The more people talking about Sainsbury’s the more people spreading
information and opinions amongst social groups creating a larger reach. Giving Sainsbury’s

promotional campaigns in store to reach their target audience. Using all the outlets allows
Sainsbury’s to reach their audience covering all bases leaving nothing to chance so that
everywhere you turn you see an advert or hear somebody talking about Sainsbury’s.

teamed up with world food programme to achieve a world with zero hunger they’ve called it
“mums helping mums” For every specially-marked pack of Tilda rice purchased, a new or
expectant mother will receive a nutrition boosting meal supplement to help her stay healthy
