The Integrated Marketing Plan is seen as a reality check for enthusiastic marketers. The Integrated Communications planning phase allows you great creativity in applying your marketing mix. The Integrated Marketing Planning phase helps you to apply your rational thoughts to justify your marketing spending. It helps you plan your budget by guiding you to match your financial and manpower resources, gives you a time line for achieving your goals and helps you monitor your progress.

Three Factors To Find The Right Marketing Mix :

In order to develop your sales in your foreign markets a variety of marketing techniques come into play. Here are the different factors involved:

1. Different Internet Marketing Channels
Your internet marketing needs to be good. It also needs to be varied.
* Your foreign market may well use the internet differently than your domestic market. You will need to test that and identify the channels that work best for both of you.
* If you have a variety of different communication channels you will be able to play on them, and incite your foreign readers to interact with you.
* You will be able to compare results and get to know your foreign markets better.
2. The different means of communication using the internet include: emails, websites, ezines, podcasts, blogs, and forums. Different Traditional Marketing Channels
Chances are internet marketing alone will not give you the best results.
* Increases proximity
* Increases trust
* Like other clients, they need many marketing touches before buying
* Offline marketing may be the only way to get international sales
3. As soon as you have collected enough foreign market information from your internet marketing, you should invest in a little traditional marketing. The different channels of traditional communication include: direct mail, radio, television, magazines, flyers, posters, billboards and event marketing. Various Cultural Marketing Skills
International sales involves cross cultural communication. For more international sales you will need to have effective international communication. This involves the following:
* International communication - which begins the step of adapting your own communication for international audiences, and can include all aspects of international communication.
* Multicultural communication - where your communication speaks effectively across a wide scope of cultures, used on your international website for example
* Cross cultural communication - where you target your communication to one particular culture, for effective target marketing for example.

If you integrate good cultural marketing practices throughout your international internet marketing you will increase your international sales.

* What are the components of an integrated marketing plan?

An Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) plan should draw from all communications disciplines available, including online, offline, and interpersonal.

Online marketing channels include any e-marketing campaigns or programs, from search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click, affiliate, email, banner to latest web related channels for webinar, blog, RSS, podcast, and Internet TV. Offline marketing channels are traditional print (newspaper, magazine), mail order, public relation, billboard, radio, and television.
