â€Å" As a firm develops its advertising strategy, it must consider three factors : –  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  The message they want to convey –  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  the media available for conveying the message –  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  the extent to which the firm wants to globalise its advertising effort† (book, p. 657) The promotion designated in the â€Å"4 Ps† involves the communication, the personnal selling, the sales promotions, and public realtions. Firstly, as regards communication, Donnar is a B-to-B company, so they don t ad for the public. However, they try to convey a strong message to their customers in Australia. â€Å"The message of an advertisement refers to the facts or impressions the advertiser wants to convey to potential customers.† (book, p.657) their message is mainly â€Å"reliability, dependability and a market name which is wellknown in China† (Catts, C., 2004, email, 5th April) by mentioning awards and certificates awarded in China by numerous agencies.
