Social Marketing
Social marketing is a systematic marketing application and Social marketing was born as a discipline in the 1970s, when Philip Kotler and Gerald Zaltman realized that the same marketing principles that were being used to sell products to consumers could be used to sell ideas, attitudes and behaviors. The structured planning process allows you to make well-informed decisions about what audiences to target, what are their specific needs, and how you can meet those needs. The development of programs or products to effectively change behavior can be accomplished by understanding your audience.
Important Social Marketing Concepts
Social media is the very good market place for Social marketing.-The ultimate objective of marketing is to influence action;
-Action is undertaken whenever target audiences believe that the benefits they receive will be greater than the costs they incur;
-Programs to influence action will be more effective if they are based on an understanding of the target audience’s own perceptions of the proposed exchange;
-Target audiences are seldom uniform in their perceptions and/or likely responses to marketing efforts and so should be partitioned into segments
-Recommended behaviors always have competition which must be understood and addressed
