2 Enterprise - socio-economic management system
In this section, we will consider and analyze the external and internal environment of the organization, as well as the organizational culture of the enterprise.
The external environment of the organization is made up of: management entities that regulate activities, competitors, consumers, suppliers, etc.
Advertising agency "3Decor" as well as all enterprises depends on environmental factors. This dependence became especially acute during the economic crisis. Let us consider in more detail the interaction of this firm with environmental factors.
Suppliers. The activity of the enterprise under study is directly dependent on the continuous supply of raw materials (in this case, vinyl film). These supplies are needed primarily for such a stage of work as the manufacture of an object. Delivery is not carried out directly, but through intermediaries, i.e. the enterprise purchases materials already from the official representative of the German manufacturing company in the city of Chelyabinsk. During the crisis, the cost of transportation increased, and, accordingly, the cost of the film itself increased, which affected the company's activities. At first, the management of the 3Decor advertising agency decided not to increase the cost of finished products due to the increase in the cost of the film, so as not to lose customers. But soon the income of the enterprise was significantly reduced, and when the time came for the next payment of taxes and other mandatory contributions, which, by the way, were also increased, but by the government, the enterprise had almost no profit. Then the management of the company had no choice but to raise prices for their products.
In the field of trade, mechanisms are often used that give the wholesale buyer the right to receive goods at the maximum discount. At the enterprise under study, these mechanisms have not yet been introduced, but active work is already underway in this direction.
laws and government agencies. As you know, the state in a market economy has both an indirect influence on organizations, primarily through the tax system, state property and the budget, and a direct one - through legislative acts and the activities of local authorities. For example, high tax rates significantly limit the activity of firms, their investment opportunities and push them to conceal income. High bureaucratic barriers impede entrepreneurial activity, the opening of small and medium enterprises.
Advertisers and advertising agencies strive to control the advertising market as much as possible. At the same time, the state is forced to increasingly actively manage their advertising activities under pressure. public opinion and under the threat of undesirable socio-economic consequences.
To date, advertising is managed by the state through the Law of the Russian Federation "On Advertising". According to this law, outdoor advertising should not resemble road signs and signs, impair their visibility, and reduce traffic safety. It is allowed to be distributed with the permission of the relevant local government. If there is a permit and an agreement with the owner, it is allowed to place advertising on the territory of any objects, including historical, cultural and specially protected natural complexes. Advertising on vehicles can be placed on public roads and railways, in the subway and on other vehicles only in agreement with their owner. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the safety requirements of the Rules. traffic. The authorities entrusted with the functions of traffic safety control have the right to restrict or prohibit the dissemination of this advertisement.
A recent case in advertising agency"3Decor" clearly showed the interaction of the company with government agencies. A citizen approached the company with a request to make a plastic copy of his car numbers, allegedly in order not to damage the real ones in the event of an accident. Realizing the seriousness of the case, the company's management demanded from the customer permission from the traffic police to use such numbers. The order was executed only after the customer brought such permission.
Competitors. The impact on the organization of such a factor as competition is manifested in many aspects of management. In many cases, competitors rather than consumers determine what kind of performance can be sold and what price can be asked. Underestimation of competitors and overestimation of markets lead even the largest companies to significant losses and crises. It is important to understand that consumers are not the only object of competition for organizations. The latter may also compete for labor, materials, capital, and the right to use certain technical innovations. At the same time, it should be noted that competition sometimes pushes firms to create various types of agreements between them, from market division to cooperation between competitors.
As for the competition of the enterprise under study, it can be said that it is not so significant. The company immediately found its niche among consumers and has been successfully operating in it for more than a year. However, competition is always present and the main thing for a company today is not to lose the trust of customers.
Consider a comparative analysis on the example of one of the market-leading advertising firms competitors in the provision of large-format printing services and the production of outdoor advertising LLC "Galaxy Center" and PE "Factory of Letters" is presented in Table 1.
Table 1 - Assessment of competitive strength
According to the table, we can conclude that the Galaxy Center advertising agency, which competes with 3Decor LLC, occupies the leading position, although the assessment of its volume of activities is somewhat lower than that of 3Decor, Galaxy Center is a competitive organization due to the professionalism of its staff, and it means and higher quality offered services and through widespread advertising of their activities. The company "3Decor" is the leader in terms of assessing the volume of activities, which means there are development prospects.
Consumers. There are a number of factors that determine a consumer's trading power. These factors include:
The degree of dependence of the buyer on the seller; (3Decor services are needed today, because advertising has become the main engine of trade);
The volume of purchases made by the buyer (the company is engaged in the manufacture of objects of various sizes and costs, which does not hinder consumer opportunities);
The level of awareness of the buyer (with the expectation of attracting the attention of the consumer, the 3Decor advertising agency placed billboards advertising its agency in several places in the city. Such a move was necessary because the agency's premises are not located on the main street, but in the courtyard);
Availability of substitutable products (objects manufactured at the enterprise cannot be bought anywhere or made by hand; the only source may be competing firms);
The cost to the buyer of switching to another seller (the firm offers low enough prices, so consumers do not want to switch to other agencies);
The sensitivity of the buyer to the price, depending on the total cost of services, the presence of certain requirements for the quality of the product, its profit, etc.
Thus, we see that the whole variety external factors is reflected in the consumer and through it affects the organization, its goals and strategy.
It is necessary to take into account the factors influencing the behavior of consumers, their demand. Consumer demand has also become a decisive factor in the activities of 3Decor. In the context of the global economic crisis, enterprises were forced to cut their costs. Many of them did this precisely by cutting advertising costs. All this, of course, shook the client base, but not for long. Some enterprises have realized that in the face of increasing competition for the consumer during the crisis, advertising mechanisms are very necessary.
Consumer behavior should be studied in order to reduce its negative impact and use the opportunities that it provides. But it is important not to forget that the enterprise must independently actively form the needs and preferences of consumers, their value orientations, in order to solve their market problems.
The company occupies one of the leading positions in the market for the provision of services. The agency cooperates with such organizations as: accessories store "Schinka", "Multibank", chain of stores "Expert", network of multi-brand stores fashion clothes"Snow Queen", network retail stores“Lady Prima”, Exclusive Fur Salon “Black Lama”, Beauty Salon “Aist”, Air Ticket Offices, Furniture Salon “House Style”
economic factor. Management must be able to assess how general changes in the state of the economy will affect the operations of the organization.
There are many mechanisms for regulating influence economic factor on the activities of the enterprise. If, for example, inflation is predicted, management may find it desirable to increase the supply of resources to the organization and negotiate fixed wages with workers in order to contain cost increases in the near future. It may also decide to borrow money because the money will be worth less when it falls due, thus offsetting part of the interest loss. If an economic downturn is predicted, the organization may prefer the path of reducing stocks of finished products, since it may become difficult to sell it, lay off part of the workforce, or postpone expansion plans until better times.
However, it is important to understand that this or that particular change in the state of the economy can have both a positive and a negative impact. For example, if during the economic crisis some enterprises reduce their advertising costs, then some, on the contrary, attract consumers with the help of advertising methods.
The activities of 3Decor also depend on the foreign exchange rate. So, for example, an enterprise prefers to make large orders for the supply of raw materials precisely during the period of the dollar's depreciation, which, although not significantly, reduces part of the costs.
There are many more aspects of the interaction of an enterprise with the external environment, and it is simply impossible to cover all of them, because. they are constantly changing. After all of the above, we saw that the analysis of the environment is a very important and complex process that requires careful monitoring of the processes taking place in the environment, assessing factors and establishing a connection between the strengths and weaknesses of the organization, as well as the opportunities and threats that are contained in the external environment. .
Consider the internal environment of the organization, i.e. assortment, prices, design of the organization, material and technical base and technological process.

3 Organizational management structure
The organizational structure of management is understood as an ordered set of services, line managers, functional departments, responsible executives or individual positions in their subordination for administrative, functional and methodological ties.

The level of professional training in the specialty, after the analysis of the composition of the staff, is as follows:
It can be seen from the given data that the number of employees without professional training has noticeably changed over the reporting period, there is a downward trend from 27% to 21%, and the number of employees with professional training from one to five years has increased by 5% and amounted to 32 % of the total number of employees. There are minor fluctuations in other categories.
The permanent staff of the company is 28 people: Director - 1 person. Department for work with clients: manager for work with clients - 2 people. Department for supply and production development: technologist - 1 person, worker - 2 people. Department of creativity and design: PR-manager - 1 person, designer - 2 people 1 person, worker - 1 person. Department for the manufacture and installation of outdoor advertising: technologist - 1 person, installer - 2 people, worker - 2 people. Department for placement and coordination (registration) of outdoor advertising: technologist - 1 person, installer - 1 person, worker - 1 person, manager - 1 person.
The General Director without a power of attorney acts on behalf of the enterprise in the following cases:
Carries out operational management of the enterprise;
Has the right of first signature under financial documents;
Approves staffing, concludes employment contracts with employees of the enterprise, applies incentive measures to these employees and imposes penalties on them;
Technologists of the departments of supply and development of production, large-format and interior printing, production of printing products, production and installation of outdoor advertising, control the process of creating advertising products, make calculations and projects, travel with installers to objects where they take measurements, photographs of the object. Carry out safety control of the entire workshop and installation workers.
The accountant documents the transactions business transactions at the enterprise: supply, purchase of goods, raw materials, settlement transactions with suppliers, transport organizations, the budget, makes a calculation of manufactured products, conducts an inventory, calculates wages and taxes, maintains company accounts.
The account manager works with first-time clients, conducts commercial negotiations with clients in the interests of the company, accepts and processes customer orders, draws up the necessary documents related to the shipment of products for the company's clients, maintains a client base. Shop workers work on specialized equipment, when making promotional products, they monitor the equipment, adjust the equipment, make an application to the technologist for the purchase of materials and necessary tools. The installers carry out the installation according to the technologist's clear plan. The designer creates sketches of an advertising project, works closely with production technologists, develops corporate identity, creates design layouts for all advertising products. But in some cases, this number of people is not enough for the full-fledged work of the agency and the company resorts to temporary hiring of additional employees. Basically, these are promoters, workers. Hiring temporary workers associated with one-time promotions and the absence of the need to constantly keep a large staff. Attracting temporary employees has a certain seasonality. During the summer it is held a large number of promotions, because in warm weather, actions can be held on the streets, in parks, recreation areas, etc. It is also easier to hire promoters, who are mostly high school students and students who want to work during the summer holidays and agree to low wages.
4 Management functions
In this section, we will consider the planning and control of the activities of 3Decor LLC, as well as the management functions.
According to their importance in the management process, they distinguish following features: general and specific.
General management functions include planning and control. The plan is a model of the future state of the enterprise. Planning means, first of all, the ability to think ahead of time and implies a systematic approach to work. "Planning is far from improvisation - it requires analytical thinking."
The planning function involves deciding what the goals of the organization should be and what the members of the organization should do to achieve those goals. The strategic planning process is a tool to assist in making management decisions. Its task is to ensure innovation and change in the organization to a sufficient extent.
So, let's formulate the main advantages that planning gives us:
Elimination of uncertainty;
Precise definition of goals and actions to achieve them;
The emergence of meaningfulness in activities;
Avoiding mistakes in future activities;
The ability to anticipate and act in a future situation ahead of time.
Plans are:
1) long-term (5-above years);
2) medium-term (1-5);
3) short-term (up to 1 year).
Planning at the enterprise LLC "3Decor" refers to the medium-term, that is, the tasks set must be achieved within 1-5 years.
For this period, the company has planned to increase sales volumes in order to increase profits.
For this purpose, a program has been developed to achieve the set goal, which is currently being gradually implemented. The company plans to expand the workshop, purchase new equipment to increase the volume of work and the timing of orders.
Management functions, determining their composition are the basis for establishing an organizational structure, developing a management process, selecting and placing engineering and technical workers and employees, etc. The variety of management functions, different degrees of generality and levels of detail predetermine the need for their grouping into general, specific and special .
The general management function is part of the management cycle (characterized by the repetition of the type of activity), is aimed at each management object and determines the functional division and specialization of managerial work. The most reasonable is the following typical composition of operations of the management cycle: forecasting and planning; organization; coordination and regulation; activation and stimulation; control, accounting and analysis.
A specific management function is a combination of a general management function (one or another operation of the management cycle) with a specific management object. In turn, control objects, and, consequently, specific functions are grouped according to three criteria: organizational structure trading activity, separate stages of the process of trading activity, separate factors of trading activity.
Control is a critical and complex management function. One of the most important features of control, which should be taken into account in the first place, is that control should be comprehensive. Every manager, regardless of his rank, must exercise control as an integral part of his job responsibilities.
The enterprise has three main types of management control: preliminary, current and final. Preliminary - precedes the active activity of the organization. In its content, this is organizational control, the task of which is mainly to check the readiness of the organization, its personnel, production apparatus, management system, etc. to work.
Preliminary control over personnel is intended, first of all, to answer the question of whether it is possible to solve the tasks envisaged by the plan with its help. Such control is carried out on the basis of predetermined requirements for each category of specialists with the help of various tests, interviews, and exams. This control is exercised by the manager.
Personnel control is also called upon to monitor the training and retraining of personnel, their instruction, the conditions for creativity and innovation, and the state of health.
The third direction of preliminary control is the state of material and financial resources organizations. In relation to material resources, the availability of stocks of raw materials, materials, components in warehouses, the compliance of their structure and quantity with the needs of production, and the assurance of supplies are checked. AT this direction control is carried out by technologists of departments.
Current control in "3Decor" exists in the forms of strategic and operational. The strategic one has as its main object the efficiency of using the organization's resources in terms of achieving its ultimate goals and is conducted not only in terms of quantitative, but also qualitative indicators: the level of labor productivity, new working methods, technologies both in the organization as a whole and in its divisions. Strategic control is carried out by managers and technologists of the enterprise.
Operational control is carried out literally simultaneously with the performance of the main work, focused on the current production and economic activity, in particular, the movement of products within the framework of the technological process (the sequence of operations, the norms of time for their implementation, the quality of labor); equipment loading; compliance with the general work schedule; the presence of stocks, work in progress and finished products, the level of current costs, the current expenditure of funds. At the level of individual operations, operational control is exercised. Operational control is carried out by the manager and technologists of 3Decor LLC.
The third type of control is final. It is associated with an assessment of the organization's implementation of its plans and involves a comprehensive analysis of not only specific performance results over the past period, but also its strengths and weaknesses. The final control data is used to draw up the next plans. The final control is carried out by the director of the advertising agency.
In LLC "3Decor" control over the activities is carried out by the leaders of all levels: the general director controls the activities of the organization as a whole and subordinates in particular. Financial control is carried out by the chief accountant. Through financial control the fulfillment of financial plans, the organization of financial and economic activities are checked. Internal control is carried out by the director and managers. External control, i.e. control over operations, foreign economic relations, suppliers, clients, intermediaries, banks, is carried out by the manager and director.
Private (specific) management functions include: commercial, marketing, innovation, production, etc.
Their tasks include:
1) development of a marketing policy at an enterprise based on an analysis of consumer properties;
2) conclusion of new contracts;
3) search for new markets;

They are based on the objective needs and interests of people. Economic methods of management are successfully used to increase labor productivity.
At 3Decor LLC, remuneration is the main motive for labor activity and a monetary measure of the cost of labor. It provides a link between the results of labor and its process and reflects the quantity and complexity of the work of workers of various qualifications. Installing official salaries for employees and tariff rates for workers, the management of the agency determined the standard cost of labor, taking into account the average cost of labor at its normal duration.
Social-psychological methods are understood as a group of methods aimed at a combination of social interests and psychological characteristics of an employee. Thus, these methods affect the social processes taking place in labor collectives and interpersonal relationships and connections.

6 Motivation of labor activity of the personnel of the enterprise
In this section, the system of economic incentives for labor will be considered, namely: the forms of wages used at the enterprise, various allowances and bonuses. Salary is the price paid to an employee for the use of his labor, depending on his qualifications, complexity, quantity and quality. Salary occupies the main place in the total income of the population. The enterprise independently establishes wage systems, salaries, bonuses and other incentive payments. All these moments are recorded in collective agreement, as well as in individual labor contracts between employees and the organization.
A collective agreement is a legal document that regulates labor, socio-economic and professional relations between employers, that is, owners of property and employees of an enterprise. The administration unilaterally cannot cancel or introduce other conditions for the organization of labor, remuneration, if they are not provided for in the collective agreement.
The collective agreement in the field of remuneration provides for:
1. Periodic salary increases in accordance with the growth of the average wage.
2. The amount of payments, if appropriate funds are available: for health improvement, for children's camps, etc.
The time-based form of remuneration can be:
Simple time-based;
Time-bonus;
Time-based with a normalized task.

The company also uses a piecework form of remuneration. This form of remuneration is more interested in workers in increasing turnover.
Types of piecework wages:
Direct piecework;
Indirect piecework;
piece-progressive;

3Decor LLC uses direct piecework wages - it is calculated by multiplying the price per unit of production by the number of products sold.
In incentive systems, an important role belongs to bonuses. Through an effective system of bonuses, the material interest of employees in the growth of labor productivity, reduction of costs and, on this basis, an increase in profits, is stimulated.
This enterprise does not apply a bonus system, which should be noted as a negative point in the work of the enterprise, in my opinion, the enterprise should develop a provision on bonuses and agree it with the team, where the following points should be clearly stated:
Bonus indicators, that is, the specific conditions for which the bonus is charged are indicated;
The size of the bonus;
Bonus conditions, that is, the accrual of a bonus is subject to the overfulfillment of turnover, or turnover and profit, or only profit;
Sources of bonuses;
Prize award procedure.
In addition to economic incentives for labor, there is also moral incentives for labor. In 3Decor LLC, it is expressed in the following forms: praising the employee in front of the whole team, separating the employee from the team, that is, the employee can be given some tasks and the emphasis is placed on the fact that no one can cope with this task better than him or that they trust him and count on him. In a word, they give the employee a sense of their importance and individuality.
Organization of corporate events.
An inseparable part of the originality of the company are corporate events held in it - holidays, trainings, team building. And they are not so much ways to "entertain" employees as tools for moral stimulation of staff, elements of forming the company's internal image. Experts call corporate holidays one of the most effective methods of broadcasting corporate values.
Corporate holidays in the life of the organization perform a number of important functions:
Fixation of success (in contrast to a simple procedure for summing up the results, the holiday emphasizes the achievements, successes of the company with a positive focus);
Adaptation (helping newcomers to join the team);
Education (introducing people to the values that are significant for the organization);
Group motivation (the process of formation and regulation of relations in the team takes place in an informal, memorable positive emotional environment);
Recreation (necessary distraction from labor process, rest, switching attention, entertainment);
7. Leadership styles
Leadership style is a way, a system of methods for influencing a leader on subordinates. One of the most important factors in the effective operation of the organization, the full realization of the potential of people and the team.
Leadership style is determined by a number of factors:
Leader's personality type;
The level of his upbringing and education;
Accumulated experience;
Working conditions of the enterprise;
Stage of team development.
In practice management activities a certain role is played by: the method of observation; testing method. The testing method involves conducting tests "Your leadership style" (Appendix 1).
When analyzing leadership styles, I had to be content only with my own observations, since leaders different levels refused to participate in testing and analysis of their own management activities. In the process of studying leadership styles, it turned out that different leaders use different styles. So, the general director is characterized by the centralization of power in the hands of one leader. He demands that all cases be reported only to him. This style is characterized by a focus on administration and limited contacts with subordinates. The director often single-handedly makes (or cancels) decisions, is categorical, often harsh with people. Always orders, disposes, instructs, but never asks. In other words, the main content of his managerial activity consists of orders and commands. However, it should be noted that he often gives subordinates the opportunity to take the initiative, often does not exercise intermediate control (only final), which is generally not typical for an autocrat. However, it is characterized by dogmatism and stereotyped thinking. Everything new is perceived by him with caution or is not perceived at all, since in managerial work he practically uses the same methods.
The account manager is a manager who uses a predominantly democratic style. He strives to solve as many issues as possible collectively, systematically inform his subordinates about the state of affairs in the team, and responds correctly to criticism. In communication with subordinates, he is extremely polite and friendly, is in constant contact, delegates part of the managerial functions to other specialists, trusts people. Demanding but fair. All members of the team take part in preparing for the implementation of management decisions. In addition, this manager consults with subordinates and strives to use the best that they offer. Provides motivation not only through rewards, but also in the form of some connection to management.
The head of the creative and design department is a leader with a liberal leadership style, who practically does not interfere in the activities of the team, and the employees are given complete independence, the opportunity for individual and collective creativity. This leader with subordinates is usually polite, ready to cancel a decision he had previously made, especially if this threatens his popularity. Of the available arsenal of means of influencing the team, the main place is occupied by persuasion and requests. Softness in dealing with people prevents him from gaining real authority, since individual employees demand concessions from him, which he does, fearing to spoil relations with them. The choice of this style is largely due to the youth of this manager.
To optimize management styles, managers are advised to analyze their own methods and management style and get advice from a psychologist.
Conclusion
The place of study and familiarization practice is one of the enterprises in the service sector that carries out advertising activities - limited liability company advertising agency "3Decor". To study and analyze the management system in the 3Decor advertising group, the essence and significance of management, its principles, methods, the technological process of preparing and making managerial decisions were investigated. In addition, as part of the educational and familiarization practice, the organizational and legal features of the enterprise's activities were studied; external and internal environment enterprises, leadership styles. During the internship, the following conclusions and recommendations were made:
1. The organizational structure of 3Decor LLC is one of the most common and simple types linear functional. All power is in the hands of the leader - the CEO.
The advantages of such a structure are:
Simple construction;
Efficiency and accuracy of management decisions;
Along with the pros, there are also disadvantages, such as:
The concentration of power in the top management;
In our opinion, the management of 3Decor LLC needs to think about improving the organizational structure of enterprise management. In our opinion, it is necessary to hire an HR manager. This will allow the CEO to organize the work of the enterprise more productively. And also to create a marketing department, which will most effectively explore new markets for products, this department will undertake the work of studying the needs of consumers, developing a competitive, pricing policy, then managers will be able to fully engage in their work, and this, in turn, will positively affect the work of the entire enterprise as a whole.
A positive moment in the work of the enterprise should be noted that the company's management is interested in improving the skills of its employees, their training and retraining and constantly sends employees to various seminars, courses, etc.
2. 3Decor LLC uses economic, socio-psychological, organizational and administrative.
The management of 3Decor LLC applies all three methods in order to achieve optimal returns from their subordinates and, thereby, achieve success in their activities.
3. It is customary to distinguish two forms of labor incentives: economic incentives (salary, bonuses) and moral incentives.
The main element of economic incentives in 3Decor LLC is wages, the bonus system at this enterprise has not been developed at all. The management of the company should develop a system of material incentives, since bonuses are a pleasant motivating incentive when an employee, having spent certain efforts, sees the results, receives a reward, and there comes a sense of satisfaction and a sense of return. Moral stimulation is applied in full.
4. 3Decor LLC uses a democratic leadership style, which is characterized by the ability to combine concern for people with concern for production. Communication flows predominantly from top to bottom.
5. The company has a good moral and psychological climate in the team, friendly labor Relations and mutual assistance relationships. Everyone is ready to help the other. Relations within the team are very warm, there are practically no conflicts, employees go to work with pleasure, because in such a team you not only work, but also relax.
Also, the management of the 3Decor enterprise can recommend the following areas for improving the image:
1. Servicing additional consumer groups, for example, an offer for consumers in the Chelyabinsk region.
2. Regular participation in souvenir exhibitions.
3. Attracting large enterprises with branches not only in Chelyabinsk.
This will increase the sales of products, the recognition of the company, increase its financial turnover.

ABOUT DIRECT MARKETING
In the last quarter of a century, direct marketing has firmly become one of the most promising and effective ways of product promotion. Therefore, it is quite natural that specialized agencies began to appear on the Kazakhstani market, which use the maximum efficiency and selectivity of the impact of direct marketing.
Unfortunately, it is still very difficult for a modern Kazakh entrepreneur to distinguish traditional advertising from direct marketing due to his little experience in our market, although it was created as a new means of promotion in 1917. One of its founders was the American Bob Stone. It was he who formulated the 30 "infinitely direct principles of marketing.
So what is the difference between traditional advertising and direct marketing?
The answer is simple: Direct Marketing provides maximum efficiency and selectivity of exposure.
What is direct marketing?
Direct marketing is a continuous process of attracting new customers, meeting the needs of regular customers and developing long-term relationships with them, as well as strengthening a positive attitude towards the company and increasing sales.
One of the main levers for turning an impersonal buyer into an individual consumer of goods and services are today databases that accumulate extensive, versatile and personalized information about legal entities and individuals.
Using the applied disciplines of direct marketing, such as telephone marketing, direct mail (direct mail), Internet marketing, database marketing (database marketing) and relationship building marketing (loyalty marketing), you not only acquire new customers and significantly increase the sales of your goods and services, but also get the opportunity to calculate the return on each invested amount.
What are the basic principles of Direct Marketing?
· Personalized customer search, ie. determination of the circle of persons directly interested in the consumption of a particular type of product or service
· Establishing relationships with clients
Regular maintenance of these contacts (creation of a loyalty club
The growth rate of the use of direct marketing is already noticeable in our market.
If at the beginning of 1998 few people even knew what it was, today more and more domestic manufacturers are turning to this type of product promotion. And this is no coincidence, as polls show that personal contact, personal appeals are much more important and influential in choosing one or another type of product or service than impersonal appeals on TV or in newspapers.
Creating a loyalty club is one of the main ultimate goals of direct marketing. What is it? In fact, many companies are already trying to create these clubs, realizing the importance of establishing constant personal contacts with their consumers (Procter & Gamble).
20% of regular customers bring 80% of the profit of any company - this is an undeniable rule that many people know, but, unfortunately, few know how to use it. It's much easier to attract a customer than it is to keep one. Direct marketing is precisely engaged in the development and implementation of "holding" events according to the scheme: You know your client - your client knows you. With correctly and competently carried out retention activities, potential customers, having gone through various stages ("potential client", "client", " regular customer") become loyal supporters, the so-called "advocates" of this brand. This is the highest point of the so-called "Loyalty Pyramid". At this peak, the client himself becomes an devotee of this brand, its advertising agent.
Direct marketing methods work in almost all industries. They are most actively used Insurance companies, tourism business, airlines, banks, large industrial and commercial corporations.
But no less productive direct promotion works in medium and small businesses. It suffices to give a small example:
If in a hairdressing salon (it doesn’t matter whether it’s a respectable expensive beauty salon or a salon for people with an income of no higher than average), each visitor is invited to fill out a special questionnaire containing the date of his birth and the birthdays of his loved ones, as well as phone numbers and addresses where you can contact contact a client, and then, on the eve of his birthday, congratulate and offer a discount on service as a gift, then you can be sure that this client will not leave you. Moreover, he will tell all his friends and colleagues about what a wonderful salon he is served in, what qualified and attentive staff there is.
Thus, you not only get a regular customer, but also attract new ones without spending a lot of money on advertising.
BTL and promotions.
The legend about the origin of the term BTL (below the line) is as follows:
Around the middle of the last century, one of the leaders of a large company (claimed to be Procter & Gamble) made an estimate of the upcoming marketing costs. Having included standard elements in it (advertising in the press, on television and radio, PR, development of new packaging, etc.), he calculated the costs, drew a line, and suddenly remembered that he had not taken into account the distribution of free samples of goods, the costs of organizing a city a holiday where people will try the products produced by his company. After calculating all the additional costs, he made the final estimate. This is how the term BTL arose - what is under the line or non-traditional marketing.
The BTL services industry has been developing at a tremendous pace in recent years. The "Below The Line" complex includes PR, sales promotion, special promotions.
Let's talk about promotions, as one of the areas of sales promotion, the popularity of which has grown significantly in recent years, about their goals and typical mistakes.
The whole process of preparing and conducting a promotional action can be divided into several stages:
· Formulation of the problem
Definition of the target audience (TA)
Calculation of the cost of the promotion
· Drafting a promotional plan
selection of promoters
· Training for promoters
Ordering equipment, uniforms for promoters participating in the promotion and promotional materials
Choice of reporting forms for the period of the promotion
· Carrying out promotions
· Analysis of the results.
First you need to find out what specific task is set for the planned promotion. This can be the introduction of a new product to the market, increasing brand awareness, stimulating sales, creating a positive image of the company and its brands, etc.
In addition, you need to choose the form of the promotion based on the characteristics of the product that needs to be advertised, it can be sampling (from the English sample - a sample), tasting, drawing prizes, product demonstration, etc. For example, tastings are very effective for food promotion. When conducting promotions for non-food products, depending on the type of product, it is possible to demonstrate the best properties and qualities of the product, sampling (distributing free product samples), drawing prizes, instant lottery, etc.
In order for the money not to be wasted, before starting any advertising campaign, it is necessary to determine the target audience for which this product or service is designed. This approach is also used in preparation for promotions.
Depending on the specific target audience, spatio-temporal resource flows are determined for the promotion campaign. It can be supermarkets, night bars, summer playgrounds, cinemas, swimming pools, beaches, bowling alleys, fitness clubs, etc. The most suitable time for promotions in supermarkets is from 16.00 to 20.00. It is at this time that the bulk of people make evening purchases. The timing of promotions in other locations is determined depending on the day of the week, location, time of year and many other factors that are taken into account in each case. For example, when conducting promotions to promote cigarettes and alcoholic beverages, there may be several spatio-temporal flows of a given target audience, namely, these can be not only supermarkets at the optimally visited time, where the target audience can purchase this product, but also bars, discos, restaurants, etc. I would like to note the promotional action, which was carried out by the company "Coca-Cola" in August-October of this year. The action was called "Together for life." The registry offices were chosen as the venue for this action. On the day of registration, the newlyweds received Coca-Cola products as a gift. Naturally, each registration was accompanied by video filming. Now imagine how the Coca-Cola company has positioned itself in the eyes of its potential consumers, because memorable photographs and video materials will be viewed more than once, both by the newlyweds themselves, and by their friends and loved ones.
But it is not enough to choose the place and time of the event, you must also choose the style of behavior, the type of promoter. In other words, correctly position yourself in relation to the target audience. Depending on your target audience, you can choose girls and boys in four areas:
classic
homemade
teenagers
If your target audience is men, then, most likely, the promoters will be girls with a spectacular appearance. Although it is worth finding out if purchases are made in this place family couples. In this case, you should focus on an interesting, attention-grabbing outfit. Likewise, well-dressed, modest and tidy girls should work in promotions aimed at housewives without causing irritation with long legs and "red" nails, and this is a huge number of different products.
We have come to the most important moment in the preparation of the promotion, namely, the search and attraction of promoters, because these are the people you will have to trust the image of your product and the money you will spend. Of course, you can recruit personnel from the team of your company, which is quite effective when it comes to complex technical products, when it is necessary to give qualified information on the characteristics of the product, but does it make sense if the promotion you are going to run must take place multiple locations or over a long period of time. In addition, your employee may be a brilliant specialist, but be a bad promoter. The quality of the staff should be understood as the correspondence of the promoter to your target audience, their appearance (attractiveness), their behavior, ability to respond to emergencies, conflict-free.
One of the most effective promotion tools is the promoter's smile. Unfortunately, very often we see the opposite in stores: promoters look sadly at the floor, thinking "it would soon end", so judge for yourself what an invaluable resource the agency and their Client are losing in this situation. Here we recall the times of the Soviet Union: the engineer is sleeping, the salary is dripping. The reason for this lies sometimes in low wages, and most often because of the unprofessional approach in preparing promoters.
As a rule, training should include several stages:
definition of product properties, innovations
Segmentation of the consumer market (determination of the main consumers of this product: gender, age, demographic and social data, etc.)
role-playing games (various types of buyers, emergency situations are simulated in a playful way to check the correctness of the presentation of information for each individual consumer group)
· duties of promoters (10 NOT for promoters: smoking, eating, chewing gum, etc. in the process of work).
This form of preparation allows you to most effectively consolidate the information received and in the future, when conducting a promotional action, avoid unpleasant situations when, for example, to the question: "What is this product made of?" The promoter really can't answer anything. Unprofessional training of promoters leads, at best, to an ineffective promotion, and at worst, to a decrease in sales. But also, of course, great importance in the process of conducting a promotional action has the selection and training of a supervisor. There is an erroneous opinion that the duties of the supervisor include the timely delivery of material to the promo point, and this is where his mission ends. But is it? Indeed, with proper control, the return on the action itself will be higher.
In addition to trainings, the selection of uniforms plays a huge role in promotions. It is not uncommon for a Client to want to save money by all means. Rather, most of them are. In the understanding of the Client, efficiency is associated more with saving money on shares than with real numbers reflecting sales. Hence the lack of bright, attention-grabbing clothes of the promoter. The promoter is lost in the crowd. And the result is an absolutely unremarkable action, of which there are many. Listen to the consumer's opinion: "If I see a promo group in the store that inspires confidence, looks beautiful and bright, then I can approach this group and take part in the promotion ...". A person, due to his physiological characteristics, perceives 90% of information visually, and that is why it would be a mistake not to use vision, refusing to make an interesting and bright uniform for a promotion.
Remember the promotional campaign, which was carried out by the Coca-Cola company in June this year to introduce the new "Fanta Exotic" to the Kazakhstani market. Because The main goals of this action were: to familiarize the consumer with the new taste of "Fanta", to increase the brand awareness, as well as to create a positive image of this brand, then tasting was chosen as the mechanism for this action. But not because of the mechanism of holding, many Almaty residents and guests of the capital remembered this bright and unusual action, which was held not only in the largest supermarkets in our city, but also in water parks, cinemas and parks, but because of the chosen and made costumes.
Wouldn't you pay attention to the four huge and bright life-size fruit puppets: Orange, Lemon, Pineapple and Mango, who walked in front of the shops, talked with children and adults, danced and at the same time offered to try the new "Fanta" with exotic taste? Even if you did not pay attention to the dolls, which is very unlikely, then your attention would certainly be attracted by two girls in exotic outfits from the islands of Oceania with no less exotic appearance. The result of this action was that "Fanta Exotic" not only took root in our market, but also occupied a certain segment of the Kazakhstani market.
After completing the work, it is necessary to analyze the results obtained. This will require reporting forms, which are developed together with the Customer before the start of the promotion, and in the future, will be filled out during the promotion. You have the opportunity to receive any information you are interested in, starting from a quantitative increase in sales of an outlet during a promotional campaign and ending with the dynamics of visiting a store by hours, days, weeks. To do this, you need to determine in advance what information you need.
In conclusion, drawing a line, I would like to recall the data of the American trade organization POPAI, 80% of consumers make a purchase decision directly in the store. They buy what:
They know better (what they heard more about) and what they trust
What is now being reminded
What is "more convenient" to buy
Caught my eye faster, more conveniently located
What was advised and convinced to buy exactly this:
1. Reminded
2. Showed
3. Interested
4. Convinced and made to believe (free to test).
telemarketing
The joint use of database management systems and telecommunication technologies opens up new opportunities in the use of marketing functions, such as: promotion of goods and services by telephone, organization of telephone service centers, complete selection and processing of collected information in any field of activity, all this can be summarized in one concept - TELEMARKETING.
TELEMARKETING is:
1. promotion of goods and services;
2. identification of the degree of readiness of the client for the proposed sale (transaction);
3. assessment of the needs of the prospective client for the proposal;
4. assessment of the client's potential for the proposal;
5. organization of meetings of your managers with buyers and responsible persons for the conclusion of commercial transactions;
6. identification of buyers and/or decision makers (responsible persons);
7. working with clients after direct mail;
8. fundraising programs for charitable purposes;
9. search for sponsors;
10. Distributor support programs;
11. invitations to participate in events, seminars and conferences;
12. collection and organization of the necessary information;
13. sales promotion programs;
14. Qualitative/quantitative assessment of prospective buyers and selection of priority ones;
15. introduction of a new product/service to the market;
16. identification of new sales markets;
17. research in the field of competition (how competitive is your product or service in the market);
18. assessment of satisfaction from the product / service;
19. positional assessment of the place of your business in the market;
20. maintaining and developing contacts with clients;
21. programs for periodic calls to clients;
22. processing and receiving orders;
23. reconnecting with inactive clients.
Purpose of Telemarketing
The main criteria for choosing the media, from which you can select exactly the media (taking into account the factors that best reflect your specialization), which will most effectively disseminate information about both your products or services, and about you and your company.
1. Information circulation.
2. Fast response.
3. Ability to make changes.
4. The ability to reach the audience at its location.
5. High audience engagement.
6. Geographical selectivity.
7. Demographic selectivity (age, gender, marital status, nationality, etc.)
8. Measured response.
9. Better ability to check demand and more options.
10. Persistence.
11. Plenty of space for your message.
12. Psychological selectivity.
13. Various possibilities to answer.
14. Target audience selection.
Short input time and fast folding of information. telemarketing Circulation of Information The rating of newspapers and magazines is low in all respects, because many of their readers do not pay attention to ads. The same applies to television and radio, because people watch and listen to them by choice. Fast response If you can wait a few days, try using the radio or TV. Television also provides fast response times, often within the few minutes the commercial is on, but only after you've spent a lot of time and money producing it. If you want to test an offer right away and make sure you get a response within a few hours, use telemarketing. Possibility to make changes Due to the high cost of production, television offers fewer opportunities to make changes. Due to the long input times, journals are less flexible in this regard. At the same time, thanks to the short input period, newspapers and local radio also provide an opportunity to make changes. Telemarketing offers the greatest opportunity for change, as you can make changes within minutes. The ability to reach the audience at its location If you want to reach your consumers when they are at home, television is a good idea. On the way from home to work, radio or advertising in the subway will help to reach them. If you want to catch them at work, it's a good idea to use newspapers and magazines. But even this does not guarantee that they will respond to your offer about anything. Telemarketing provides you with all these opportunities to reach an audience at work and at home (if you have the necessary databases). High audience engagement. Some long-running TV shows can also attract viewers to varying degrees to participate in them (through surveys and the opportunity to participate in the show by phone). Telemarketing is a clear winner in this metric as it can easily engage the listener in a conversation. Geographic selectivity After all, you won’t throw money away by advertising for the entire circulation in a magazine that is distributed throughout Kazakhstan, if 80 percent of your target audience is, for example, only in Almaty? Most often, direct marketing requires the selection of some specific regions, so telemarketing and direct mail are best suited for this. Demographic selectivity (age, gender, marital status, nationality, etc.) Some magazines and a few radio and television programs also provide demographic selectivity. Telemarketing using demographic databases is by far the best from this point of view. the desired target audience is reached. Measured response The faster you can evaluate response, the faster you can expand your offer to other markets or media. But, using standard advertising techniques, you run the risk of simply wasting time. Telemarketing has the highest rating for this indicator, because you do not have to waste time waiting for any response suitable for evaluation, since you get it already in the first hours of the campaign. Short input time and fast information folding The rating of magazines is lower because a magazine cannot be produced in a matter of hours. Newspapers and radio can offer some competition to telemarketing, primarily due to the short input times. The more flexible the time frame, the more often you can check the offer and the faster you can get your company back if the situation calls for it. The media with the most flexible time structure is telemarketing. Better ability to check demand and more options Magazines practically do not allow this to be done due to the specifics of periodicity. Broadcast media, due to the shortness of the time periods sold and sometimes the high cost of production, make it less possible to check offers of several types. Telemarketing provides a huge opportunity for testing demand. Major and minor scenario changes will allow you to experience several types of the same offer at once. persistence TV advertising, which used to be considered pushy, however, is no longer so, as the viewer can easily switch from channel to channel so as not to bother himself. When reading a magazine, a person can simply skip the ad, and radio ads are not as pushy because the audience is less involved. Can people avoid getting information from you? If not, the media is considered persistent. Telemarketing is such because it is almost impossible not to answer the phone when it rings. Plenty of space for your message Most broadcast media, with the exception of long-running television programs, offer very little space. Telemarketing at medium speed human speech 150 words per minute (that's two-thirds of an A4 page) gives you plenty of room. Psychological selectivity Most magazines follow a particular style, and the different sections of newspapers (sports, news, business, arts) are also targeted at certain populations. A growing number of specialized newspapers, magazines (for certain groups, about fashion, computers, business, etc.) also provides psychographic selectivity. Telemarketing allows you to directly reach certain psychographic groups, that is, people with a certain style and lifestyle. Various response options Broadcast media does not provide such an opportunity. In general, you can offer one way to contact you. A problem that occurs with most broadcast media, in The peculiarity, when broadcast, is that the viewer can never go back to see again the phone number that was offered to him even before he had a pencil in his hands. In such cases, the possibility of a response is practically zero. Or, imagine you are driving in a car and an important phone number is broadcast on the radio, in such a scenario, not far from the accident. The more opportunities people have to answer, the more willingly and quickly they will place an order. If they can place an order over the phone like using telemarketing, that's great. If they can send a request by fax or by e-mail- it's not bad too. Target audience selection For example, television does not allow to achieve such a degree of selectivity in relation to music as Telemarketing. Radio is also a non-selective medium, unless you're trying to appeal to certain psychographic groups using their musical tastes. Outdoor stands provide low selectivity and are rarely used for DM. Magazines allow targeted audience selection and are perhaps the best vehicle for DM after telemarketing and direct mail. One of the main advantages of DM is targeted audience selection. Of all the media, telemarketing and direct mail offer the best target audience selection. If you need to get as close as possible to your target audience in order to achieve the effectiveness of your campaign, if you are concerned about the percentage of return from each transaction in terms of every marketing dollar invested, and you want to save on advertising, then use Telemarketing! List or database? The concept - a database, is now on hearing. I would even say that there is a kind of fashion to talk about databases. But most often it turns out to be a list of clients and it’s good if it’s in electronic form. What is the difference between a customer list and a database? The answer is simple - as soon as an additional and interesting information just for you, for your business, the list will begin to turn into a database. These details, or in professional terms, additional data fields, should describe your customers in as much detail as possible, create a portrait of the consumer. The closer this portrait is to the original, the more successfully your product/service will be promoted and sold. Because you will know who to sell to and when to sell (at the right time in the right place and with the right people). The list with addresses and phone numbers can have any source and belong to anyone, but the database will belong only to you. it will collect information that takes into account the characteristics and needs of your business and your customers. Many people spend decent money without getting enough return because they overlook that for their business, a database cannot be bought, it can only be created. It will be better for business if you begin to proceed from the fact that any foreign database is just a list for you. Where can you get this information? Most often, this information is in the company, only it is in a fragmented form from various managers and from various sources. The main thing is to find it, to assemble it into a single whole, into a single format. But don't waste time and money getting information AT ALL and putting that information into your database. This information, even though reliable and interesting, most often turns out to be completely useless. There is only one sure way to "drag" the necessary people into your database: you get-buy a list of a promising, in your opinion, audience, naturally, structure it and enter it into a computer (database blank). Then you begin to communicate with these clients until you cross out all those who do not respond to your wonderful offers. Those who remained are your potential capital. Gordon Grossman said: "If your clients do not make you rich, then who will? .." If you have doubts about the need to create a database, try answering a few questions: Your company, your business is not in an aggressive competitive environment? Shouldn't you be concerned about communicating regularly with your customers to keep them? And isn't it cheaper to keep an old customer than to acquire a new one? So it turns out that the first place where you should look for the source lists for compiling a database is your own "bins". Perhaps some sources are so obvious to you that you simply stopped noticing them. Start with what you need: · Oblige everyone who contacts customers to write down their names and addresses - these are telephone operators, the secretary, marketers, the complaints department and other employees. If you use retail outlets, agents or a chain of dealers in your work, then enter them in official duties same. · Do you provide guarantees to customers? Record their names and addresses.

Rice. 1 Performance results of Parus-Media LLC in 2004 and 2005
(in thousand rubles)
Table 1 shows that in comparison with 2004 in 2005 the volume of sales increased by 31.1% and amounted to 141846.7 thousand rubles, there was an increase in prices for the services provided, while it is clearly seen that the increase in volume was due to an increase in the number of personnel by 7 people and at the end of 2005 the total number of employees of the LLC was 31 people. The headcount growth factor led to an increase in the growth in sales volume in physical terms, i.e. with an increase in staff, the company can serve more customers, and this is confirmed by the performance of employees, which increased from 4122.2 in 2004 to 4575.7 rubles per 1 employee in 2005.
The average annual salary of employees increased by 25% compared to 2004 from 120 thousand rubles to 158.4 thousand rubles per year, the growth rate of the increase in the average annual wage outpaces the growth rate of labor productivity, since wages were indexed due to inflation. Despite this, the management of LLC managed to reduce the cost of 1 ruble of sales by 1.3% and the cost of 1 ruble of sales in 2005 amounted to 76 kopecks.
The cost price in 2005 compared to 2004 increased from 76,102.1 to 107,459.6 rubles. the size of the cost is largely affected by the amount of costs incurred - office rent, payment utilities, an increase in the wage fund, the maintenance of equipment, etc.
The main goal of any commercial enterprise is to make a profit. The data shows that the profit increased by 33.7%. This indicator indicates that production is managed efficiently.

Organizational structure of the Parus-Media agency
|
The agency is dominated by an alienated type of worker, a high level of inconsistency of actions is manifested, and the behavior model is divisive. Employees develop a narrowly professional vision of work, which creates fields with fenced off communications. Their result is the growth of "inconsistencies". This model of organizational orientation corresponds to certain socio-cultural relations: “mice in holes”.

As follows from the data in Table 3, the organization of the enterprise management structure is not effective enough, because there is a duplication of functions, untimely resolution of issues, differences of opinion, as a result of which a situation may arise when the performers do not clearly understand whose orders they must execute. One of the shortcomings of the management structure can be singled out - this is the lack of a position of a marketing manager who would study the segment of the advertising activity market, the pricing policy of competitors, and develop a clear marketing strategy. In this case, it would be possible to increase the number of possible customers, in connection with which the profit of the enterprise would increase. To do this, it is necessary to develop a set of measures to eliminate or reduce activity in the activities, pricing policy of competitive firms.
3. ANALYSIS OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE MANAGEMENT OF COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES IN THE ENTERPRISE
Internal communications play a key role in achieving business goals and objectives. The quality, efficiency of communication, communications between employees of the company become decisive factors in achieving the goals of the organization.
A holistic analysis of the internal communication situation in an organization is necessary to build a single information space in order to optimally support business processes.
At the same time, it is necessary to effectively manage all horizontal, vertical and internal communications in the company's divisions.
Consider internal information communications. Communication according to the principle, from the bottom up, perform the function of notification
the top about what is being done at the lower levels. In departments, employees express their proposals to the head of the service, who reports on sensible proposals to a higher manager. At the end of the communication chain is the CEO, who, if an interesting proposal is submitted, makes a decision. But there is always an option when the junior manager does not seem interested in the employee’s proposal and he will leave him without attention, while in the general discussion the proposal could be of interest. LLC "Parus-Media" has not put into practice the holding of weekly group meetings. This way of conveying information is very important for small firms. Such meetings provide an opportunity to listen to the opinions of employees on a particular issue, find a common solution and at the same time give each employee the opportunity to feel involved in a common cause.
Communication between services is based on the principle local network star type. The head of the department has access to the information of each of his subordinates.
This connection is made in our organization, computers are connected in a network. The scheme made a system of access to information. If necessary, you can combine several networks with a star topology together, thus obtaining branched network configurations. From a reliability point of view, this topology is not the best solution, since the failure of the central node will bring the entire network to a halt. However, when using a star topology, it is easier to troubleshoot the cable network. In addition to messages on the computer, Gen. the director and all departments carry out the workflow through the office manager, who fixes the workflow in the logs of outgoing and incoming information.
Orders come from the director, orders communicated to all
heads of services and employees of the enterprise. From the heads of departments to the director there are statements, memorandums,
explanatory documents for signature.
Communications between different services are made according to the “ring” principle, i.e. the executive director has information from the Chief Accountant, but does not have access to material and other accounting departments. The art director can communicate with the general director over the network, but does not have access to a specific service over the network, bypassing the executive director.
This streamlines the organization's management scheme, i.e. each has its own level of information content. The scheme of access to information in each department is built on the principle of "top down", for example, Ch. the accountant has information from all departments
of his service, but, the design department cannot get information from
computer ch. accountant, but may receive information from other services.
Analyzing the work of an advertising agency, one of the weak points in the organizational structure is the lack of a marketer, which means that the duties of a marketer are performed by different people from time to time and the work does not give the desired effect, which means it reduces the possibility of obtaining additional profit. But besides this, there is no well-established timely informing employees about the pricing policy of competitors and a clear marketing strategy. The marketing function must be designed in such a way that it best contributes to the achievement of the firm's marketing strategy - creating a long-term competitive advantage. That is, there is a violation of horizontal communications.
Indeed, only when employees clearly understand what is happening around, he is able to actively engage in the implementation of organizational change. The vagueness of the goals and prospects of both the entire company and a specific individual in it just leads to a state of anxiety, fear, anxiety, frustration of the employee, which leads to resistance to change, up to the voluntary departure of valuable personnel at such a crucial moment for the organization. Therefore, it is very important to make the process in the company "transparent" for each employee, which will relieve psychological stress, and also allows you to get ideas from employees on how to improve the ways of implementing the process.
Capable and educated employees who feel valued can serve customers at the highest level. In addition, they have an incentive to work, they are more dedicated to the cause.
Of great importance for employees in intra-company communications is the concern of the enterprise for personnel. This is also important for the image of the company, as the image of the company will be judged by the actions of employees.
Internal communications that support the image of Parus-Media LLC include a bulletin board, which contains not only announcements about the holding of an event, but also congratulations to employees on birthdays and other pleasant dates.
Great value for employees who want professional growth has training. Parus-Media LLC annually conducts employee training in the form of trainings, when a trainer is invited to the enterprise, who conducts training for all employees of the company to study the current problem. Conducting trainings with employees not only provides an opportunity to provide up-to-date knowledge, but also allows employees to feel more confident in internal and external communications, which means it improves the image of the LLC.
The presence of an internal computer network allows you to quickly transfer information to all interested employees.
The organization of corporate parties for the New Year and March 8, which have become traditional, can also be considered as positive communication. Such a joint pastime has a positive effect on the climate in the team and improves internal communication.
In 2005, Parus-Media LLC conducted an analysis of internal communications, the results were as follows:
· Only 5% (2 people) of employees associate themselves with LLC "Parus-Media", most of the employees consider themselves only to the office in which they work, that is, the LLC failed to create a corporate spirit;
· The majority of employees - 75% (23 people) - believes that the company is not interested in their point of view;
· The most useful in internal communications 68% (21 people) of employees considered the need to introduce weekly group meetings;
· The majority -83% - (26 people) are satisfied with intercompany contacts, which indicates a favorable atmosphere in the office.
rice. 3 Results of the analysis of intracompany communications
Well-developed external communications are necessary for any company to successfully promote its services or products. The main type of services provided by Parus-Media LLC is billboard advertising - the most traditional, most effective and cheapest type of outdoor advertising.
To draw attention to its services, the company uses the following channels for disseminating information about its services:
· Daily newspapers that have a wide reach of potential consumers;
Specialized magazines read by experts
· Telephone directories in Moscow and the Moscow region
Sending promotional brochures to potential buyers of services by mail
· Road radio, which is listened to by a large number of consumers in cars;
· Participation in specialized exhibitions.
Advertising media (message distribution channels) are chosen in such a way as to effectively reach the attention of the target audience. Moreover, the main criteria when choosing channels for the distribution of advertising messages is to ensure maximum coverage of the target audience, the cost of advertising with the advertising budget and the correspondence of the nature of the advertising message to the characteristics of the channel. In addition, the choice of advertising media is made in such a way as to provide the necessary geographical coverage of consumers and the desired frequency and form of presentation of the material.
Only systematic advertising work can bring results, and it is important that the contacts that arise are not separated from each other by too long periods of time: weekly contact is considered optimal, rare contacts are perceived as one-time and have very low commercial value, so advertisements are made weekly.
However, it is not enough to show consumers the advantages of the goods and services offered. It is also necessary to convince the head of the customer enterprise of the reliability and competence of the supplier company. And since for the heads of enterprises the main criterion of reliability is often the fame of the company, in order to achieve recognition and create a favorable image, Parus-Media LLC installs information and billboards in the most promising, potentially having customers, areas of the city and region;
In general, the company uses the channel of personal communication to promote its product, considering it the most efficient and effective when working with a corporate customer. At the same time, it uses the highest quality approach that takes into account and satisfies the personal needs of each individual consumer.
Before offering its services to this or that organization, the LLC collects all the necessary information (the need to purchase advertising space, the financial condition of the organization, and so on). Then, exemplary proposals are developed that may be of interest to the consumer, and the costs of its implementation are also calculated. Only after that, an experienced sales agent offers a ready-made project, developed directly for this company. This approach allows the firm to better understand the needs of its customers and provide the services that matter most to them.
One of these services is the provision by the company of comprehensive European-class services. Market research shows that comprehensive service- the main requirement of corporate customers. Understanding this, LLC uses one-stop service as a sales promotion tool.
Over many years of experience in the Moscow region, the company has acquired many regular customers, communication with which is carried out by mailing:
informational letters with reminders and proposals for new services;
· invitations to exhibitions;
price lists with information about price changes;
Publication of price list and photos finished projects on your own website.
Some bus stop pavilions host advertising posters consisting of several advertising modules of various sizes. Unlike the usual city-format, which is placed at individual addresses or small networks, posters are placed only in a network of 500 or 1000 surfaces, evenly distributed throughout the Moscow region. Thus, this type of advertising allows you to cover most areas, while keeping within a relatively small budget. At stops land transport in addition to the city-format, located in the left side wall of the stop pavilion, it is possible to place advertising on the entire rear wall both from the inside and outside, as well as placing advertising posters in plastic boxes next to the timetable or even above the yellow plate with route numbers, stopping at a stop.
An important role is given to the LLC system of personal sales, which remain the main type of sales.
There is a sales promotion system, according to which a client who uses the services of Parus-Media LLC for the second time receives a 5% discount, for the third time -10%, and if he applies for the fourth time, then in the future the discount becomes constant and its size - 15%.
There is another type of discount - when the discounts provided to customers depend on the number of purchased places for accommodation. These flexible discounts are provided on a case-by-case basis. In what place in Moscow and the Moscow region are the shields, from the period of their placement and the number of placements. Usually they do not exceed 5-10%.
In the process of personal selling, the personality of the seller is of great importance. For example, any salesperson must have a good appearance, be able to communicate, take the interests of the buyer "close to heart", be interested in making a sale, have a desire to improve their skills; clothing and demeanor are important. Special attention is paid to this in LLC.
The LLC has implemented and operates a system to stimulate personal sales. Incentives for employees associated with sales were not made dependent on the results of their work, i.e. from the funds received by a specific employee from the sale of products.
4. ANALYSIS OF CONSUMERS ON THE COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES OF THE ENTERPRISE
Conducting advertising research is primarily due to the fact that decisions in the field of advertising are made under conditions of risk and uncertainty. Advertisers are almost always faced with questions like: “Are the target markets and target audience chosen correctly? Do we really understand consumer needs? Are the people watching TV ads the same people they are targeting? Did advertising have any effect on sales?” These and other similar questions are often answered through research.
· Study of the effectiveness and popularity of individual advertising media (advertising carriers) for different target audiences.
· Study of the effectiveness of the impact of an advertising message on the audience, the degree of its influence on people's behavior.
The study of the synergistic effect of the joint use of several media for advertising purposes.
These studies are primarily aimed at improving the effectiveness of advertising, reducing the risk of its implementation, best use financial resources.
A preliminary search can last from a month to six months, depending on the buyer. In the first phase, the buyer gets acquainted with the general situation on the market, the price level, and the main market participants. At this stage, the level of perception of materials from socio-political and business publications devoted to real estate, recommendations from acquaintances, and publications on the Internet is high. The level of perception of direct advertising of specific options is low.
In this phase, the buyer chooses a group from a significant number of options, determining the fundamental points - cost, type of advertising and location options. A significant part of buyers with a formed budget immediately begin an active search.
Active search. It lasts from 1 to 3 months. In the active search phase, the consumer evaluates different options, selecting suitable ones, comparing his needs and budget for the purchase with market offers. A high level of perception of advertising and editorial materials, which emphasize either a large range of options or an originality of the offer. At this stage of the purchase, the consumer filters out most of the options and leaves 3-4 for the final choice.
To study the buyers of Parus-Media LLC, interviews were conducted with respondents. The results were obtained, which are shown in table 4.:
· method of distribution: subscription, retail sale, free distribution in crowded places (shops, exhibitions, etc.), direct mailing to companies, free distribution in residential mailboxes;
· Distribution zones: Moscow, Moscow region.
The cost of an advertisement in a newspaper depends not only on the area, but also on its location. Some places are much more profitable than others in terms of attracting attention, and therefore more expensive. These are the first and last pages, the places where crossword puzzles and other materials are placed that will be read with a high degree of probability. The upper left corner on the left side of the spread of the newspaper and in the upper right corner for the right are considered beneficial. But this is not all that needs to be done in order for advertising to be most effective.

3. Prepare and distribute print advertisements:
brochures
Television is the most versatile of the advertising media. It convinces desirable clients through effective demonstrations. Television makes it possible to influence the consciousness and subconsciousness of potential buyers in the greatest number of ways.
The unique feature of television advertising is that it is characterized, firstly, by the combination of sounds and visual influences, and, secondly, by a huge compared to any other advertising medium, an audience that increases during the demonstration of television series. Television is not radio with pictures, as it may seem at first glance. Here it is especially important to know the specifics of the viewer's perception of information coming from the TV screen. Television is a visual medium enhanced by sound. A good TV commercial has a great idea that is presented to the viewer first and only then sound is added to enhance the impact on the viewer, and sometimes without sound.
As for the length of the video, experts in the study of the effectiveness of the impact of advertising argue that the best perceived and remembered is not a standard, minute duration, but one that lasts either 30 seconds or 2 minutes. Just like on radio, TV commercials only have 3 seconds to capture the viewer's attention. If this time is missed, advertising, as a rule, will pass by the addressee. Therefore, it is important at the very beginning to talk about what will be discussed or what the advertiser wants from the viewer. What was said at the beginning must be repeated in the same words or expressions at the end. As with all other advertising media, the use of humor in television advertising is of particular importance. At the same time, it is useful to remember that the main purpose of advertising is to encourage a purchase, and ultimately a sale. That advertisement is incorrectly worked out, the form of which is remembered better than the advertised content itself. Advertising on TV is useful mainly to those who intend to create the widest possible popularity for their company or its product. It is good for those who want the advertised product or service to be automatically associated with the advertiser's name. TV advertising services are indispensable for companies that want to quickly saturate the mass market with a new product brand.
large-sized posters (glued from small sheets or drawn by an artist on a large tablet);
Multivision (three or four images on three- or four-sided prisms, synchronously rotated by an electric motor);
· electrified (or gaslight) panel with fixed or running inscriptions;
· There is an Internet site www. Parus-media.ru, which presents photographs of billboards, indicates their possible locations and provides contact information.
The radio channel, like television, only on a more modest scale, is characterized by a massive advertising audience. Its undoubted advantage is its significantly low cost, however, psychologically, it certainly loses to TV due to the lack of an image.
Nevertheless, a good design of a sound clip - the voice of the announcer, an entertaining and memorable text, a good sound background, musical accompaniment - make radio advertising quite effective. Here we should add such a significant point - almost round-the-clock broadcasting and background impact on the listener. The radio can stay on all day long in kitchens, in offices, in cars. Many radio stations, especially music ones, only broadcast music and news, news and music, and advertising in between. A person may not even hear it, however, somewhere on the fourth or fifth time the name of the company and its imprint fall into memory.
The great advantage of the radio is that it is listened to in the morning, afternoon and evening.
According to advertising psychologists, the most effective duration of a radio commercial is determined by 30 seconds, although there is another point of view: it is important to use as much time as necessary to convey the message.
Research shows that people listen more actively and attentively if the speaker speaks quickly and says more words per unit of time.
Before you advertise on the radio, you need to decide on a radio station or radio program. At the same time, it is important to take into account that radio listeners like to press buttons, choosing either one radio station or another. And this means that it may be appropriate to include advertising on several radio channels at once.
One of the most significant characteristics of a radio station is its audience reach. This characteristic is expressed in thousands of listeners (rating) or in the proportion of radio station listeners relative to the population (rating%) For example, the most rated FM stations in Moscow this summer were Russian Radio, Europe Plus, Ekho Moskvy and some others. Every day, 1,257,100 people listen to the radio station "Russian Radio", which is the coverage of the daily audience of this radio station. During the week, 2,419,700 people listen to Europa Plus at least once, which is the coverage of the weekly audience of this radio station. The rating is calculated as the ratio of the number of people listening to a radio station to the total population. So if the coverage of the daily audience of "Echo of Moscow" is 617,500 people, then the rating becomes 8.8%.
Most often, Parus-Media LLC seeks to advertise on popular radio stations. At first glance, it would seem much more profitable to place a few advertisements on a radio station with a large audience than to pay for more advertisements on a radio station with a relatively small number of listeners.
SWOT - COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
Most modern markets are characterized as competitive. Hence the urgent need to study competition, its level and intensity, in knowledge of the forces and market factors that have the greatest influence on competition and its prospects.
A preliminary but obligatory stage in the study of competition in the market is the collection and analysis of information necessary, ultimately, to select competitive strategies. The completeness and quality of the information collected largely determine the effectiveness of further analysis.
The number and size of firms competing in the market determine the level of competition to the greatest extent. In principle, the intensity of competition is considered to be greatest when there are a significant number of competitors of approximately equal strength in the market, and it is not at all necessary that the competing firms be especially large. However, this rule is not universal and always true from the position of the firm conducting market research. For a medium-sized company, such as Parus-Media LLC, the presence of even one major competitor can be a significant obstacle to successful sales.
Currently, the company considers Podmoskovye LLC and Moscow Region-Media LLC, which provide outdoor advertising services, as its main competitors.
SWOT(Strength, Weakness, Oportunity, Threats) - analysis of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and risks.
SWOT - analysis is carried out in order to study the business environment, legal conditions, strengths and weaknesses of Parus-Media LLC and competing enterprises, as well as the complex mutual influence of the factors under consideration.

From the presented data, it can be seen that Parus-Media LLC is not inferior to its main competitor in any position, but there are many positions in which competitive firm Podmoskovye LLC occupies an equal position, which means that Parus-Media LLC needs to work to further strengthen its position in the market and pay more attention to those positions that can be surpassed by Podmoskovye LLC after some time. that time.
CONCLUSION
The position of Parus-Media LLC in the services market is quite stable, but in order to strengthen the position of the company in the market, it is necessary to carry out a set of measures that will further strengthen the position of the LLC and will help attract more customers, which means they will increase the company's profits and its professional growth :
1. It is necessary to make a change in the organizational structure of the company - to create a marketing service that will take over the functions of studying competitive environment and development of a clear marketing policy;
2. As the analysis showed, it is necessary to improve internal communications by maintaining additional forms of communication
3. It is necessary to change the attitude towards the formation of the image of the company, to make the company recognizable. A firm with a strong reputation ensures a constant volume of production and revenues that grow from year to year. A sustainable brand is remarkably durable, and this property translates into huge cost savings over time. Firms with a stable reputation provide higher prices in the market and good sales. In the competitive struggle of prices, they survive much easier than unstable brands. They have little to lose with the advent of a new "star" and quickly regain their credibility as soon as the element of novelty of the new product begins to weaken.
5. Following the dictates of the times - to develop and implement a new system for disseminating information through the Internet.
6. Introduce new forms of sales promotion through personal selling.

Introduction
One of the most important conditions for the formation of sustainable links between producers and consumers in a market economy is the successful functioning of the advertising business. Over the past decade, the Russian economy has seen a rapid growth of the advertising market, which actively influences the development of market relations in the country. This process is accompanied by the formation of a large domestic advertising business, gradually merging into the activities of the global advertising market. Although Russia has a rich tradition in the development of advertising, at the present time much has to be started anew. This is due to the fact that in the era of socialism, advertising performed functions that differed from the conditions of a market economy. In the absence of competition, its exclusive task was to disseminate information about the products manufactured by state enterprises focused not on making a profit, but on minimizing the prices of their products. The advertising and information agencies themselves were financed entirely from the budget and were not aimed at making a profit and increasing sales of their products. In the era of market relations, they switched, following the majority of Russian enterprises, to their own means of financing. Here, their main task, like all other enterprises, is to increase the cost of their products and increase their sales to maximize profits.
I completed my internship at an advertising agency LLC "" as a PR specialist.
