       communication, with technical knowledge about
       creating persuasive messages be involved in the
       process of developing a marketing campaign.

       In this paper we will discuss the importance of
       technical publications to the marketing and advertising
       industry, to facilitate creation of awareness and

Conclusion


        The Importance of Marketing and Advertising: Marketing and Advertising are the tools used to attract
         prospective customers to a business and the products or services it offers. The number of customers drawn
         depends directly on the effectiveness and success of the marketing campaign. Advertising is a part of a
         business’ overall marketing strategy, including public relations, promotions, incentives, and newsletters among
         others. The aim of a marketing strategy is to use advertising and all its available tools to maximum effect.
        Value of Technical Publications: Technical Publications are essential in transferring product knowledge to end
         users. The provision of proper material to use technology and products allows a user to accept and efficiently
         use a product. Faulty assumptions about documentation lead to inaccurate and hard-to-understand material.
         This also decreases the chances of marketing those products in the global market.
        Role of Documentation Outsourcing: The importance of marketing and advertising to the success of a product
         requires that vendors and purchasers look at outsourcing their documentation needs to well-established
         Technical Publications Solutions providers. This helps the company cut costs and at the same time deliver their
         products with quality documents.

  • 6. Conclusion  The Importance of Marketing and Advertising: Marketing and Advertising are the tools used to attract prospective customers to a business and the products or services it offers. The number of customers drawn depends directly on the effectiveness and success of the marketing campaign. Advertising is a part of a business’ overall marketing strategy, including public relations, promotions, incentives, and newsletters among others. The aim of a marketing strategy is to use advertising and all its available tools to maximum effect.  Value of Technical Publications: Technical Publications are essential in transferring product knowledge to end users. The provision of proper material to use technology and products allows a user to accept and efficiently use a product. Faulty assumptions about documentation lead to inaccurate and hard-to-understand material. This also decreases the chances of marketing those products in the global market.  Role of Documentation Outsourcing: The importance of marketing and advertising to the success of a product requires that vendors and purchasers look at outsourcing their documentation needs to well-established Technical Publications Solutions providers.
