Health Education
Task 1
P3

My health education campaign is about eating 5 a day (fruit and vegetables) I want to promote this and get people from different social class to start eating healthy cheaper. Before doing my health campaign I had to find the appropriate approach that I was going to use, the target group and the resources that were available for me.
When I was designing my health education campaign I made sure that I followed certain principles. I carried out a small scale health education campaign and I have used leaflets and posters to inform people about improving their health and preventing themselves from getting obese and other diet related chronic diseases. However the media (Radio and Television) are one of the best ways to inform people as these reach out to most people but this type of method was going to be expensive for me so I had to stick to leaflets and posters.

I will use the poster and leaflet to inform people about the dangerous that are involved by not eating healthy and the different types of disease they can suffer from. I will also include the good and the bad things about eating 5 a day.

Task 2
P5 & M4

My health campaign links to a lot of different campaign that have been done by the government to promote 5 A Day for example Change 4 life. National, international and local campaigns must of the time they use mass media which include advertisements by the major health promotion agencies using television, radio, magazines or newspapers. For example some food packaging with the 5 A DAY logo for example the two squares that you see on packaging (orange juices) represent that if you drink the juice you would have two of your five a day.

    In this task I am going to be speaking about and explaining a successful promotional campaign. The campaign I will be speaking about is the ‘whopper sacrifice’. The whopper sacrifice is a Burger King advertising campaign on Facebook that promised a coupon for a free hamburger if participants deleted 10 people from their ‘friends’ lists on the social network. I would class a good advertising campaign as: it is aimed at the target audience and uses the most effective medium for them. It should raise the awareness of the business and also increase the public's estimation of its importance. The main message must be the most prominent one, the one that stays in your head. The main types of advertising media are as follows: television, printed (newspaper, magazines etc...), press coverage, billboards, radio, in store, social media, emails and paid searches (i.e. paying google to advertise you on certain searches)…

    The brand image of living a healthy lifestyle will get promoted through public relations and can get used for sales promotion of the product. “New products typically merit large advertising budgets to build awareness and to gain customer trial” (Kotler & Keller, 2012, pg. 505). Hosting a disabled veteran sporting event or the Special Olympics is not only a less expensive advertising campaign but will encourage the trial of healthy chocolate through samples at these events.” Marketing communication activities contribute to brand equity and drive sales in many ways: by creating brand awareness, forging brand image in consumer’s memories, eliciting positive brand judgments or feelings, and strengthening consumer loyalty” (Kotler & Keller, 2012, pg. 478).…
