  1. Social Marketing in Health Promotion

  2. Outline • Define social marketing • Social marketing in health promotion

  3. Definition • Social marketing is applying commercial marketing methods to the promotion of specific healthy behaviors in a targeted population group.

  4. Definition • "The application of commercial marketing technologies to the analysis, planning, execution, and evaluation of programs designed to influence voluntary behavior of target audiences in order to improve their personal welfare and that of society." Andreasen, AR. Marketing Social Change: Changing Behavior to Promote Health, Social Development, and the Environment. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass; 1995.

  5. Social Marketing • In the 1970s, Philip Kotler and Gerald Zaltman suggested that marketing principles could be used to sell ideas, attitudes, and behaviors. • Social marketing seeks to influence social behaviors not to benefit the marketer, but to benefit the target audience and the general society.

  6. Social Marketing • Social marketing has been used to promote oral health behaviors such as tooth brushing with a specific product. While this approach may focus on the product, the marketing strategy also focuses on changing behaviors. • Marketing has successfully been used to promote the preferences for “white teeth”.

  7. Marketing Mix • In designing a social marketing campaign it is important to consider the marketing mix. • The mix refer to decisions about how the product is designed (Product); price (P); distribution or place (P); and promotion. These are called the 4 ‘P’s of marketing which define the marketing mix.

  8. Product • The “product” in social marketing may be an object (such as toothpaste or gloves), services (screening or physical examination), practices (breastfeeding, flossing, reducing exposure to sugar drinks) or intangible ideas such as protection of the environment from hazardous waste.

  9. Product • In order to define a “product” for marketing, the targeted population must perceive that they have a problem or a need that the product will resolve. • The role of marketing research is to find out consumers’ perceptions of their needs and how much they feel that an action is needed to resolve the problem.

  10. Price • Price refers to the action that the consumer must take to get the marketed “product.” • The action may involve paying for the product, giving up habits or unhealthy behaviors or adopting new behaviors. • The benefits of getting the product must outweigh the cost; otherwise, consumers will not adopt or “buy” the product. • Because social marketing deals with health behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes, there is a need to research how consumers feel about the product and “cost”.

  11. Place • "Place" in a social marketing campaign refers to channels or locations where consumers may access the information, training, or services. Place may include a community clinic, a private office, a church, shopping mall, mass media, billboards, or in home demonstrations. • To determine the best “place” to deliver a product, research should explore the targeted audience experiences, demands, and preferences.

  12. Promotion • Promotion is the final “P” and it refers to the integrated use of advertising, public relations, promotions, media advocacy, personal selling, and entertainment media. • The focus of promotion is on creating and sustaining demand for the “product”. • Promotion may take place using public service announcements, paid advertisements, and other methods such as coupons, media events, and editorials, Research is crucial to determine the best approaches to promote the product.

  13. Additional Social Marketing • Publics • Partnerships • Policy

  14. Publics • Social marketing campaigns may have different and sometimes diverse audiences. • External publics include the target audience (e.g. caregivers), secondary audiences (e.g. children), policymakers, and gatekeepers, while the internal publics are those who are involved in some way with either approval or implementation of the program.

  15. Partnerships • Successful social marketing campaigns require networking and partnering with community and professional organizations who share similar goals in the mission of the campaign.

  16. Policy • Social marketing programs may focus on promoting changes in policy and programs to sustain the behavior changes promoted. Advocacy for policy change sometimes is part of an integrated campaign to promote change.

  17. Funding • Social marketing campaigns require support from grants or contracts from foundations, government, or corporations. • Social marketing campaigns, if successful, may generate funds through saving of cost of healthcare as a result of change in practices or behaviors.
