Gerard Tellis clearly communicates all aspects of promotion using the most recent social sciences research findings, to enable prospective managers to design their own successful strategies.

Advertising, sales promotion today has become the pillars of marketing success. Most of marketer’s effort evolves round performing these activities. Hence the clear and thorough understanding of these entire element has become a pre requisite of success for marketers. Keeping in mind the above perspective an idea of designing a comprehensive book came in our mind 5 years ago. After discussing from the academicians and practitioners of the industry, we planned the book named ‘Advertising and Sales promotion’. This book specifically written for students of MBA 3RD SEMESTER Rajasthan Technical University. However it will also prove useful for the students of other universities. In the preparation of this text we have consulted various renowned authors and other publications for information on subtle issues. We are highly thankful to them. I shall be failing our duty if we do not appreciate the contribution of our family members for their encouragement and continued support in completing the text. We are highly thankful to “Vandana Publications”, who took a lot of interest in publishing this text with great interest and enthusiasm. We are highly rewarded if this book fulfills the expectation of students and various interest groups. We invite suggestions for the improvement in the text from the students, learned teachers and marketing practitioners so as to make it more useful in years to come.

The book takes an innovative approach to promotional strategy and focuses on the integration of the entire promotion mix, not just advertising. As with prior editions, this edition is built on a solid behavioral foundation. The authors' conviction is that advertising, trade promotion, consumer promotion, personal selling, direct marketing, public relations and publicity, and corporate advertising are all component parts of one integrated promotional mix. Today, most other authors and marketing practitioners also advocate this integrated marketing communication approach. The book presents numerous practical, real-world examples, illustration, advertisements and cases and has been thoroughly updated and expanded to include topics of greatest importance to today's students and marketing practitioners. -- Description from http://www.amazon.ca (August 28, 2012).
