“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most
intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” - Charles Darwin
Customer led not developer led!

Problems:
Expensive
High external costs - ad creation, media buying, printing etc
One way process - passive consumers
Outward bound only
Difficult to track results
TV, radio, billboard, newspaper and magazine advertising, direct mail,
brochures and leaflets
‘Traditional’ media - ‘push’ marketing
17. ‘Talking at’ consumers, not interactive
“Half the money I spend on advertising
is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know
which half.” John Wanamaker (1838 - 1922)
US Departments Stores owner & ‘Father of Advertising’

‘New’ media...
20. ‘New’ media - interactive marketing
Problems:
• Much more demanding on internal resources
• Social media profiles must be proactively and consistently managed
• Content input and customer response
• Internally driven not just externally sourced
• Therefore higher internal costs
• Relies on target customers being highly internet interactive
• Mismanagement will create exposure and damage reputation

shopping centres.”
