Communication success depends on the:
- Nature of the message
- Audience’s interpretation
- Environment in which it is received
What is the major barrier to communication
Language
Basic communication model
Source–>encoding–>channel message–>decoding–>receiver (response to feedback and avoid noise)
Source
Person or organization that has information to share with another person or group of people
Encoding
Putting thoughts, ideas, or information into a symbolic form
Message
Contains the information or meaning the source hopes to convey
Channel
Facilitates communication between sender and receiver
Non personal channel or mass media
Lacks direct, interpersonal contact between the sender and receiver
Personal channel or direct communication between two or more persons
Word of mouth
Buzz marketing
Viral marketing
Seeding
Word of mouth (WOM)
Informal communication among consumers about products and services
Buzz marketing
Generating positive word-of-mouth discussion
Viral Marketing
Propagating marketing-relevant messages with the help of individual consumers
Seeding
Identifying and choosing the initial group of consumers who will be used to start spreading the message
Receiver
Person with whom the sender shares thoughts or information
Decoding
Transforming the sender’s message into thought
Heavily influenced by the receiver’s field of experience
Field of experience:
The experiences, perceptions, attitudes, and values a person brings to the communication situation
Noise
Unplanned distortion in the communication process
Occurs because the fields of experience of the sender and receiver don’t overlap
Response
Receiver’s set of reactions after seeing, hearing, or reading the message
Feedback
Receiver’s response that is communicated back to the sender
Analyzing the Receiver
- Identify who the receiver is
- Evaluate what they are feeling or what they know about the product
- Figure out how to communicate with them
(i.e.: language of ad) - What is the potential response of the consumer to sources of communication or different types of messages
Traditional Response Hierarchy
see table
Implications of the traditional Hierarchy models
-Delineate the steps involved in taking potential purchasers from unawareness of a product to readiness to purchase it
-Identify which stage in the hierarchy a potential buyer is in
-Used as intermediate measures of communication effectiveness

The social consumer decision journey

- consumer interacts with brand after purchase
- consumer advocates for brand

A Model of Cognitive Response
see table
cognitive response
Thoughts that occur to individuals while reading, viewing, and/or hearing a communication.
Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM)
-Focuses on the differences in the ways consumers process and respond to persuasive messages
-Attitude formation or change process
-Depends on the amount and nature of elaboration that occurs in response to a persuasive message
-Elaboration likelihood is a function of:
-Motivation
-Ability
central route
ability and motivation to process a message is high and close attention is paid to message content
Peripheral route
ability and motivation to process a message is low; receiver focuses more on peripheral cues than on message content
central route to persuasion
Ability and motivation to process a message is high and close attention is paid to message content
peripheral route to persuasion
Ability and motivation to process a message is low
-Receiver focuses more on peripheral cues than on message content
-Peripheral cues lead to rejection of a message
The elaboration likelihood model of persuasion
see table
Implications of the ELM
Customers level of involvement has important implications for marketing communications
-High involvement - Sales presentation should contain arguments that are difficult to refute
-Low involvement - Peripheral cues are more important than detailed message arguments
Effectiveness of message depends on customers route to persuasion
