Abstract

Entrepreneurial companies as the basis for economic growth should be aware of the factors of influence on their financial success, so they can achieve proper allocation of scarce resources. This paper presents the state of the art in the communication processes of entrepreneurial companies within an emerging economy and, the impact of integrated communications on profitability. The research is a part of a project: “Strengthening the business capacity of women entrepreneurs in Republic of Macedonia, as a developing country.” The paper argues that usage of integrated communication leads to increased profitability. The results show that the companies, regardless of the size, give priority to economic propaganda and sales promotion; they mostly use non-personal, mass media, mainly television; combination of several elements of the promotional mix, i.e. integrated communications affects profitability; combination of media for promotion has impact on profitability. The conclusion suggests that implementation of integrated communication results in positive effect on the financial performance and increases the chances of investment in further development.
