Design/methodology/approach: Dynamic technological progress significantly influences the course of consumer's decision-making processes. Brands are looking for more and more touchpoints on the customer's journey in order to be able to smoothly surround the recipient with messages. As part of the considerations, it was examined how the forms and tools of marketing communication can support marketing activities at individual stages of the customer journey. Findings: The presented publication classifies online marketing communication tools and indicates their links with the various stages of purchasing, the 5A model and building an active consumer attitude towards the brand. Research limitations/implications: The article contains a preliminary study. In the future it is planned to conduct additional quantitative and qualitative research. The study will help to perform a comprehensive analysis of the application being discussed. Practical implications: The right choice of forms and tools of marketing communication not only determines the purchase, but also builds the commitment and loyalty of the buyer, who may ultimately become a brand advocate. Therefore, it is particularly important to have a holistic approach to the dialogue with the consumer and to understand the mechanisms influencing his decisions. Originality/value: Although the topic of e-commerce appears in academic publications, only a few of them relate these devices to the customer journey. This paper comprehensively deals with this topic and focuses on the relationship between online customer journey, the 5A model and the promotion mix tools.

The specificity of the market of arms and military equipment, and above all its dependence on the political, legal, technological, economic and cultural conditions, impact on the way of conducting activities related to market communication, as well as the hierarchy of the employed instruments of promotion. The greatest use is made of direct communication, and a lesser role is played by instruments of mass communication such as advertising. Even though advertisements used in the arms market do not directly influence customer behaviour and purchasing decisions, yet they are crucial from the viewpoint of image and information, for example they enable showing the company and its products in a desirable light, or draw attention to some aspects of the functioning of the armaments sector (ensuring national/international security, obtaining advantages from international cooperation, creating employment, and technological development). The aim of the article was to establish the importance of adverts in the arms and military equipment market, as well as to identify the media and advertising styles used in them.
