A little history… ,[object Object],They proposed that marketing is a “pervasive, societal activity that goes considerably beyond the selling of toothpaste, soap, and steel” First time that marketing was considered for organizations, persons, and ideals The term “Social Marketing” was officially introduced in 1971

Social Marketing Key Themes Research and Evaluation are the key components The primary focus is on the consumer For social marketing to be an effective strategy, it is critical to learn what people want or need rather than persuading individuals to buy a good Marketing talks TO the consumer, not about the product

Essential Features It is a distinct discipline within the field of marketing It is for the good of society as well as the target audience It relies on the principles and techniques developed by commercial marketing

Applications Social marketers typically attempt to encourage their target audience to partake in four types of behavior change Accept a new behavior (e.g., Breastfeeding) Reject a potentially undesirable behavior (e.g., Smoking) Modify a current behavior (e.g., Increased Exercise) Abandon an undesirable behavior (e.g., Drinking and Driving) 4 Major areas where social marketing techniques are utilized: Health Promotion, Injury Prevention, Environmental Protection, and Community Mobilization

Social Marketing approaches to influence behavior… Downstream Approach or horizontal perspective- addresses barriers/benefits on the individual level Midstream Approach-attempts to reach individuals who have the ability to influence others in the target community including family members, co-workers, friends and neighbors Upstream Approach- attempts to alter policies, regulations, and laws to influence societal behavior change

Cultural Norms and Social Marketing Social Marketing Campaigns are affected by social, cultural, and regulatory environments Campaigns must take these factors into account in order to maximize effectiveness Formative research (e.g., focus groups, surveys, interviews, etc.) is a necessary component of designing a social marketing campaign

Taking into account social, cultural, and environmental norms… Examples: Anti-hepatitis B campaign in China Anti-HIV/AIDS Case study in Mexico Anti-Dengue Fever campaign in Singapore

4 P’s of Social Marketing “The genus of modern marketing is not the 4 P’s, or audience research, or even exchange, but rather the management paradigm that studies, selects, balances, and manipulates the 4 P’s to achieve behavior change. We keep shortening the marketing mix to the 4 P’s…It is the mix that matters the most.” –Bill Smith, Academy for Educational Development 4 P’s- Product, Price, Place, Promotion Must be developed simultaneously or as a “mix” not as isolated strategies

PRODUCT Concrete physical products, services, practices, AND intangible ideas (most often the case in the field of public health) People must believe that there is a problem, and that the product being offered is a good solution to that problem

PRICE What the consumer must do in order to attain the social marketing product The price of a product an be monetary, involve time and effort, require the consumer to give something up, or involve discomfort or condemnation

PLACE This describes the way that the product reaches the consumer Intangible product: Important to make decisions about the best channels in which to reach consumers Channels can include doctors offices, mass media campaigns, shopping malls….etc.

PROMOTION The use of advertising, public relations, promotions, media advocacy, personal selling, and entertainment channels The focus is on generating and sustaining the demand for the product Promotion channels include television, internet, radio, posters, pamphlets, direct mail, DVD’s, billboards, newspapers, etc….
