The actual problem of marketing communications management of Ukrainian retailers from the point of view of the system approach is considered. It is shown that the specificity of these marketing communications is determined both by the goals they are aimed at, and by means of communication. The objectives of marketing communications are: formation of the brand image of retailer, attracting consumers to visit places of sale, incentive to make a purchase, promotion of consumer satisfaction and ensuring the consumer loyalty. The main types of marketing communications are advertising, sales promotion, public relations, direct marketing, integrated marketing communications at places of sale and personal sales. Within each type, subspecies of traditional and electronic communications are singled out. A systemic approach to managing marketing communications in the modern conditions should be based on the principles of purposefulness, customer focus, specificity, integration, interactivity, individualization, optimality and social ethics. At the same time, the success of communications is determined primarily by the extent to which they are convenient and useful to consumers. To implement these principles, it is proposed to implement in the process of managing the marketing communications system of retail enterprises such specific functions as marketing researches of consumer attitudes towards communications, adjustment of communications based on research results and forecasting the communicative effects. Approbation of the proposed methodological approach is made using data of enterprises of retail trade networks, which carry out sales of household electrical goods, information and communication equipment. It has been established that trade networks are now more intensively using less important for consumers types of communications, and vice versa. Changing the structure of the marketing communications system taking into account the benefits of consumers will improve the indicators of the communicative effects of marketing communications; this will enhance the competitiveness and economic efficiency of retail businesses in Ukraine.

The study finds that on the one hand beekeeping is difficult to implement integrated marketing communications due to more difficult application of communication tools – advertising, personal sales, and sales promotion. On the other hand, they also have less well-represented advertising constants. EU agricultural policy supports the implementation of integrated marketing communications from beekeeping farms through the formation of infrastructure and services, legislation, media environment and bee products with high added value. Beekeeping farms must invest primarily in public relations and direct marketing, and as advertising constants can use regional varieties, breeds, technologies, geographical indications, know-how, certification to a certain standard, as they represent the uniqueness of regional bee products.


Sales promotion is an integral part of sales and marketing today. They are of two types – consumer promotion and trade promotion. Consumer promotion is run to entice consumers to the retail outlets and purchase the product. It also helps in building awareness and is normally run for a short period of time. Trade promotions are run to motivate the trade and the intermediaries to sell more of the product. It is a push strategy where the intermediaries try to sell more to the consumers. The downside of sales promotion is that when run repeatedly, or for a very long period of time, the brand image of the product is harmed. Sales promotions has to be run in synchronization with the integrated marketing communications plan of the brand or the product. These are normally high-profile events with lot of consumer attention through the media. More often than not, sales promotion is supported by media exposure and other communication methods, and hence, they have to be in sync with each other. The processes of buying and selling runs parallel and hence the integrated marketing communications along with sales promotion plans must take cognizance of the stage at which the product and the market is operating. While doing all these, the marketer as well as the sales team must keep in mind that there is a lot of difference between FMCG and consumer durable sales. The depth and width of distribution are completely different. The nature of intermediaries is completely different and hence the selling process also has to be quite different. International sales management is also a different cup of tea and this expertise comes over years of experience. One thing that has gained in importance in sales management and operations is ethics. This needs to be inculcated in the DNA of the sales team – right from the top to the bottom of the hierarchy.
