7 Purchase
- facilitating sales by means of communications (goal of most of promotion campaigns and direct marketing) Satisfaction- aims at this category refer to communications with existing customers to facilitate word-of-mouth
- reassuring customers about their choice Brand loyalty
- achieving mental commitment between a consumer and a brand
- encouraging customers to use the brand more frequently
- suggesting new ways or situations to use the brand Similarly to the response hierarchy model, the communication objectives do not necessarily follow in the presented order. Not all of the mentioned objectives should be present in the marketing communications, either. Rossiter and Percy (1985) state that brand awareness and brand attitude are universal, whereas the others presented in the table are optional. The authors explain that without brand awareness and certain attitude being experienced at some point the brand cannot be bought. Since marketing communication tools vary in their functions, the communication objectives set by the marketer affects their selection.
