Good communication with the audience in marketing
The politician has to reach their audience, but it needs to talk to your audience, communicate with your audience. With Political Marketing Communications, you as a politician seeks to inform, persuade and remind your audience who you are, as you are, what are your suggestions, what’s your manifesto, you’ll do if you choose, if you are the preferred option.
All these communications help voters set your mark as a politician in his memoirs, create visibility, generate positive feelings toward you and your brand and ultimately to create an increasingly strong connection between you (Political) and your audience .
But this communication must be effective and that the great master Philip Kotler has not stopped talking for decades of the different models that exist to achieve effective communication with consumers. If we adapt the model of the hierarchy of communication effects Kotler communication between the politician and the public and for it to be effective, the phases of the communication process would be 6.
The first phase of recognition is when the voters do not know you like Politico and here through the media have to generate visibility, communication objective would be to let you know as a politician. The second phase of knowledge is when the voters if they know you as a politician, know your brand but know very little about you. Here the goal of communication would create greater awareness of your brand policy.
The third phase is the taste and this is where the population already knows you as a brand and this policy through the media will have to find out if he likes you or not your audience, if people have positive or negative feelings towards you in case of negative must find out why and try to solve them and then communicate the renewal of your brand. The fourth phase is the preference and occurs when your audience likes you as a politician but prefer another brand, another politician. Here the goal you have to work is to try to get your audience’s preference, the voter.
The fifth stage is when your belief as a politician you have to get that people are convinced that you will vote, the goal is to generate belief and intention to vote. The last phase is the purchase or support / vote. Here your audience is already convinced to vote for you, support you but have not yet reached the decision to go to vote. As a politician you have to get voters to give the final step and go to the polls.
If we stop a moment and reflect on all of these phases would be good if you question all of the following questions:
- Am I a politician known in my town, in my province?
- My audience knows me, knows my brand?
- What am I doing so that people know me?
- What feelings do people have towards me?
- Are they are positive or negative feelings?
- What I can do to get recognition, so that people would choose?
For all the brand communication process we have seen above policy is to successfully marketing professionals political staff have to work in time among other things, the following policy to the brand awareness that the target see or hear the right message at the right place at the right time, that the advertisement call public attention but not distract from the main message and that the announcement will motivate the electorate to vote for political brand to choose.
