SO WHAT IS THROUGH-THE-LINE MARKETING?
First, marketing has changed over time because access to more significant audiences and larger target markets has increased and changed with new forms of media tools. The change in marketing has also gone from consumer-based specific buying to consumer-based loyalty and brand desire.
Before we get into Through the line marketing, let us first look at the other forms of marketing.
- Above The Line (ATL) marketing/advertising consists of advertising activities that are largely non-targeted with no specific audience and wide reach. Think billboards, television and radio.ATL communication is done to build the brand and inform customers about the product. Conversions are given less importance in ATL advertising.
- Below The Line (BTL) marketing/advertising is more focused, direct communication. Below-the-line marketing or BTL advertising consists of very specific, memorable and direct advertising activities focused on targeted groups of consumers. Often known as direct marketing strategies, below-the-line strategies focus more on conversions than on building the brand. Think Direct mail marketing, brand activation and in-store marketing.
OKAY, SO WHAT’S THROUGH-THE-LINE MARKETING THEN?
