Israel and published by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Division of Science, Technical and Environmental Education. This book was released on 1987 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social marketing involves skills in health, nutrition, advertising, marketing, social research, and evaluation to address common problems of at-risk behavior in public health and nutrition. This how-to, step-by-step guide is geared to program managers and decision makers. 7 units are devoted to determining the feasibility of the project, planning research and data collection techniques, setting behavior change objectives, communications strategy, product and services marketing, managing projects and formative and summative evaluation. Each unit presents an overview statement, the expertise required, technical terms, a general discussion, questions for study and discussion, and references. Unit 1 stresses the necessity of assessing whether the health problem will be affected by a social marketing intervention and of developing a work plan for the 5 stages of interventions planning research, developing a campaign strategy, prerequisite training and networking activities, and summative evaluation. In unit 2, a table provides a useful reference guide of research tools. Distinctions are made among planning research, formative research, and summative evaluation. Planning research can help define campaign goals and objectives. In unit 3, the process of establishing behavior change objectives for social marketing interventions is described: identifying and analyzing practices important to the health related behavior of the target community, understanding the constraints of costs involved, and applying commercial marketing techniques of concept testing and product trials. Objectives might be purchase and use, access and compliance, and/or skill and adherence. The criteria for an effective social marketing message is presented in unit 4. In unit 5, the product, price, place of distribution, and promotion are discussed. Management issues in unit 6 involve resource allocation, institutions program design, and program implementation. Formative evaluation, discussed in unit 7, is the process used to inform health professionals about how to improve existing projects; the summative evaluation is an assessment of the extent to which desired outcomes are achieved. This expertise required is knowledge of quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques, experimental design, research methodology, and materials development.

This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2011, social marketing is increasingly accepted today as an effective behavioural change tool that can be used to change social behaviours, such as encouraging people to recycle more, make healthier eating choices, increase the amount of sunscreen used, and to use condoms to prevent disease transmission, amongst many other desired social behaviours. The growing popularity of using social marketing to change behaviour is reflected in increasing research interest and a growth in people practising in the social marketing field. As social marketing matures into an academic discipline in its own right, we are beginning to see diversity in the way it is understood and implemented by governments, commercial organisations and third sector organisations in different parts of the world. Contemporary Issues in Social Marketing is an outcome of the discussions held between social marketing academics and practitioners at the 2012 International Social Marketing Conference (ISM 2012), which was held in June 2012 in Brisbane, Australia. ISM 2012 drew together 180 social marketing researchers and practitioners in the corporate and not for profit sector, along with representatives of all levels of government to delve into the challenges currently faced in social marketing. Contemporary Issues in Social Marketing is a scholarly resource bringing together current knowledge and contemporary debate in the field, in addition to exploring areas that are currently underdeveloped in the literature. This book covers arguments relating to numerous hot topics and controversial issues, such as ethics in social marketing; climate change; energy consumption; smoking; healthy eating habits; blood donation; social marketing theory; and the evaluation of social marketing interventions.

Download or read book Social Marketing written by Marvin E. Goldberg and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Marketing: marketing in the service of societal problems. Does this approach represent dangerous social engineering, or is it the best hope we have to treat what are often regarded as intransigent problems? For both academics and practitioners involved with social marketing, the domain remains in its infancy. Programs and approaches are being developed and implemented by practitioners; academics are defining "what it is," "where it comes from," and "where it is going." This book incorporates many of the presentations made at the "Role of Advertising in Social Marketing" Conference sponsored by the Society for Consumer Psychology. Professionals from academia, government, and non-government organizations address a highly diverse and interesting set of societal concerns ranging from organ donation to violence in sports, from efforts to promote safe sex and family planning to better understand cigarette smokers and their perceptions. Are marketing's "four Ps"--product, price, place, and promotion--enough to help solve these problems, or does social marketing at the end of the 1990s need to call on other Ps, such as political persuasion? This volume thoughtfully addresses theoretical and empirical issues challenging academics and practitioners alike to find out how to borrow the best of marketing for application in social marketing.
