Achieving this wholeness in communications creates synergy-the principal benefit of IMC-because each product message reinforces the others for greater effect. For example, when a Mountain Dew grocer runs an endcap promotion (a special display at the end of an aisle) alone, it might generate a 10 percent increase in volume.
