[[w:Communications mix]] redirects to [[w:promotional mix]]
An effective communicator gets his point across while maintaining a productive relationship with the other party. This is extremely important if you plan to run a small business. The way you communicate with your customers, employees and other stakeholders can have a significant effect on your company&#039;s overall success. Keep a few key concepts in mind as you measure whether you're communicating effectively.<ref name="chron.com">http://smallbusiness.chron.com/measure-effective-communication-3180.html</ref>
'''Step 1'''
* Conduct regular surveys of your employees and customers to determine if you're communicating effectively. [...] For example,
::**Ask customers, "How did you learn about our latest product or service?"
::**Ask employees, "Do your superiors and team members clearly communicate information to you?" Have them rate their replies on a one-to-five [ liekert ] scale.
'''Step 2'''
* Post information online in blog format to better communicate with employees (intraoffice) and customers (public information).
* Use a website tracking service to monitor visiting patterns and see how long visitors remain on your various website pages.
::** If you see visitors spend several minutes reading content and making positive comments, then you know your communication is effective.
::** If they click away in a few seconds, that could mean you are not sufficiently capturing their attention and effectively delivering your message.
'''Step 3'''
Measure the progress of specific work projects to ascertain whether you and your employees are communicating effectively [with each other].
'''Step 4'''
Ask your employees to repeat verbal instructions back to you to see if they fully understand. You can simply ask each employee to send you an email summarizing your assignment and how they plan to get it done. <ref name="chron.com"/>

* '''[[w:Brand extension|Brand extension]]''' or '''brand stretching''' is a [[w:marketing|marketing]] strategy in which a firm marketing a product with a well-developed image uses the same [[w:brand name|brand name]] in a different product category. The new product is called a '''spin-off'''.
:::Organizations use this strategy to increase and leverage [[w:brand equity|brand equity]] (definition: the net worth and long-term sustainability just from the renowned name). An example of a brand extension is [[w:Jello|Jello]]-gelatin creating Jello pudding pops. It increases awareness of the brand name and increases profitability from offerings in more than one product category. ( Wikipedia )
* Alternatively, in a market that is fragmented amongst a number of brands a supplier can choose deliberately to launch totally new brands in apparent competition with its own existing strong brand (and often with identical product characteristics); simply to soak up some of the share of the market which will in any case go to minor brands. The rationale is that having 3 out of 12 brands in such a market will give a greater overall share than having 1 out of 10 (even if much of the share of these new brands is taken from the existing one). In its most extreme manifestation, a supplier pioneering a new market which it believes will be particularly attractive may choose immediately to launch a second brand in competition with its first, in order to pre-empt others entering the market. '''This strategy is widely known as multi-brand strategy'''. ( Wikipedia article [[w:Brand#Multi-brands|brand]] on multi-brands )
