  9. Social Marketing vs. Social Networking • Don’t confuse social marketing with social networking. • Social networking usually refers to using new media to socialize or to network. Examples: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube. • Social marketing is used by organizations and companies to promote a product. The product could be a hamburger at McDonald’s or an HIV test at MTA.

  10. Social Marketing Defined • “…A process for influencing human behavior on a large scale, using marketing principles for the purpose of societal benefit rather than commercial profit.” (W. Smith, Academy for Educational Development) • “Social marketing is the use of marketing principles and techniques to influence a target audience to voluntarily accept, reject, modify or abandon a behavior for the benefit of individuals, groups or society as a whole.” (P. Kotler, et.al., Social Marketing: Improving the Quality of Life)

  11. Social Marketing Defined Question… Answer… • What are the most important concepts in these definitions? • Influence • Target Audience • Voluntarily • Behavior • Societal Benefit

  12. Key Differences Social Marketing IS… Social marketing IS NOT… • A social or behavior change strategy • Most effective when it activates people and communities • Targeted to those who have a reason to care and who are ready for change • Strategic and requires efficient use of resources • Not just advertising • Not a media blitz • A clever slogan • Not about coercing behaviors • through punishment • Not a “one approach” model • Not a quick process

  13. Concepts of Social Marketing • Must be client/consumer/audience centered • Social marketing looks at behavior change from the viewpoint of the consumer • It’s about action! • What do you want people to do? • Focus on enhancing perceived benefits & reducing perceived barriers • Actions will only occur if perceived benefits > perceived costs • Increase or highlight the benefits • Decrease or de-emphasize the barriers • There must be an exchange

  14. Example of Exchange In commercial marketing, you exchange money for a product, but often the marketing “sells” more than the product. An example: You give me… • $1.00 You get… A drink (plus) • A thirst quencher • Good taste • Fun • Youthful feeling • Girl/Boyfriend

  15. Examples

  17. Example of Exchange In social marketing the cost/barriers are weighed against the benefits of the desired behavior Potential barriers to condom use • Cost • Embarrassment • Loss of pleasure Possible benefits to condom use • Protection against pregnancy • Protection against HIV/STI • Peace of mind • Sense of control • Hope for the future • Pleasure gained

  22. Activity: Examining Social Marketing Campaigns • What do you notice about these campaigns? • Who is the primary audience? • What behavior are they trying to influence? • What’s the benefit to society? • Is the campaign effective?

  23. The 7 P’s – Social Marketing Principles Product Price Place Promotion Physical Evidence Process People

  24. #1 - Product The product is what you are offering and its benefits. • It can be tangible, like a service or behavior, like a condom or HIV testing. • It can be intangible like a feeling of belonging, peace of mind or hope. • Your product must compete successfully against the benefit of the current behavior. • Promote a single, doable behavior, explained in simple terms.

  25. #2 - Price What is the cost/barrier of doing what you are asking? • Ask yourself, “what keeps people from doing what you are asking?” • Identify monetary & non-monetary costs associated with adopting new behavior. • Develop strategies that offer equal or greater benefit than perceived costs.

  26. #3 - Place This refers to the systematic way you will get information and services to the primary audience. • Where and when might people think about your issue? • Where might they be in the right frame of mind to consider your service? • Where can you put information about your service? • Where does your audience already gather?

  27. #4 - Promotion: Creating Messages What do we want to say? • Key message • Attention-getting: stands out among other messages • Connect with something that is important to the audience • Communication objectives • What do we want them to know (think) • What do we want them to believe (feel) • What do we want them to do • What are the benefits Try to pretest messages if possible.

  28. #5 - Physical Evidence How do your marketing materials to look? • 30 seconds test • Focus on external messages and everything the client/customer “sees” including staff • The image you want to convey to your audience about your brand

  29. #6 - Process How do people think and talk about you when you aren’t around? • How is your message different than others? • Attribution Theory • If you could create the ideal impression in the hearts and minds of your customers, what would it be? • What is the “process” by which people interact with your brand/message from start to finish?

  30. #7 - People Do you have the right people? • Who are the people that are responsible for carrying out the marketing message? • Are they right for the job? • People “buy” from people they like, therefore the personal experience with staff should be first-class
