15. Why Social Marketing • Well-designed campaigns, Dr. Cappella noted, can affect behavior, as demonstrated by research on smoking and drug use among teens. • “For example, an antimarijuana public service announcement (PSA) campaign developed by NIDA-supported researchers at the University of Kentucky in Lexington decreased marijuana use by more than 25 percent among high-sensation-seeking adolescents -- a group particularly at risk for drug abuse.” (See "Television Public Service Announcements Decrease Marijuana Use in Targeted Teens.") The PSAs included messages especially designed to appeal to the sensation-seeking teens and ran for 4 months during TV programs popular with this group.

30. Planning Step 2: PlanningDefine Your Audience • Be as specific as possible about the group you will be targeting and learn as much as you can about them. • For example, you might describe a group as “heterosexual males between the ages of 14 and 18 who smoke.” • You will need to understand their attitudes, feelings, beliefs, values, motivation, and culture—all the factors that might influence their behavior. Northeast Region

31. Planning Step 2: PlanningFive Ways to Segment Your Audience • Demographic Factors • Age, gender, educational attainment, socio-economic, ethnic background • School attending • Neighborhood residing • Type of Risk or Protective Factors • Parenting status • Age of children • Location of children • Drinking or Drug Use Status • Substance Used Northeast Region

32. Planning Step 2: PlanningDefine Your Audience • Instead of selling products, social marketers sell knowledge and awareness of health risks, • or they market the benefits of certain health behaviors, such as avoiding alcohol and other drugs by youth, in ways that will appeal to this target audience. Central Region

33. Planning Step 2: PlanningDefine Your Audience • Information about the target audience includes not only needs and perceptions, but also knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding alcohol and other drugs; values; age; gender; educational background; income; and cultural and ethnic background. Central Region

34. Planning Step 2: PlanningDefine Your Audience In some cases the target audience is the affected population. For example, if our social marketing campaign attempts to convince smokers to quit for the improvement of their health, the affected population is our target audience. In other cases, we target an audience which is not the population directly affected by the problem.For example, a campaign might attempt to deliver a message to bartenders (the target audience to call taxicabs for intoxicated patrons (the affected population) who will potentially be involved in auto collisions while intoxicated. Effective social marketing campaigns often have multiple target audiences, which usually include the affected population and other individuals and groups which influence the environment of the affected population.
