Much of this is intended to be subtle enough for the consumer to be unaware that promotion is taking place. E.g. sponsorship, product placement, endorsements, sales promotion, merchandising, direct mail, personal selling, public relations, trade shows

Goals are stated in specific and measurable terms. Positive word of mouth (WOM) is an important long-term goal. An overall promotion budget is set on the basis of one of these techniques: all you can afford incremental, competitive parity, etc. The promotional mix is outlined, based on the firms budget, the type of retailing involved, the coverage of the media, and the hierarchy of effects. The promotional mix is enacted. Included are decisions involving specific media, promotional timing, message content, sales force composition, particular sales-promotion tools, and the responsibility for coordination. The retailer systematically reviews and adjusts the promotional plan, consistent with its preset goals
