How credible can be communication touch-points?

Filed Under (Marketing) by Rajesh Kumar on 06-10-2008

While working on a training assignment, I decided to include this matrix. Not sure how many of you agree.


Touch-point

Strength/Weakness Communication credibility
Sales Team Contact Quality of contact and follow-up Takes time to establish trust
Website Access
  • Information updation cycle
  • Impersonal
  • May have limited, template information
The algorithm to make it credible is fairly known.
Print/ TV/Radio Limited distribution Strong credibility via editorial coverage
Another customer reference Limited usability Strong- nothing like word of mouth
Third Party Advisories Limited reach Strong
Industry Conferences Focused, targetable audience Moderate
Blogs Can become unfocussed easily
  • The diffused focus makes it real
  • Easy to listen back
