Origins of Social Marketing

* Kotler and Zaltman (1971): application of marketing to solution of social and health problems, and “to sell brotherhood like soap” (Wiebe, 1951) * We can use marketing to make people choose one thing from hundreds, so why can’t we sell “brotherhood like soap” * Planned social change which involves an exchange relationship between the client and change agent (Niehoff, 1966)

Definition of Socially Responsible Marketing: * Harnesses desirable social causes, such as the environment and consumerism, to advance the interests of a commercial organisation * RED campaign works with Global Fund (non-profit organisation) with each of their partners (Gap, Apple etc.) as the profiting companies behind them

    Answers will vary about Product (RED)’s ability to improve Gap’s image as a socially responsible company. Despite critics and bloggers who have decried the partnership with Bono’s cause as hypocritical and have denounced the donations as trivial in comparison to the profits made by the company, the general public is probably less likely to see it in a negative light. Anything that Oprah Winfrey puts her stamp of approval on is generally accepted as a good thing, which includes cause-marketing events such as this one. The fact that the Product (RED) t-shirt that Oprah wore on her show became the bestselling item in Gap history is a sign that shoppers were enthusiastic enough about the partnership to open their wallets for it.…

    Cause-branding or cause-related marketing can be a risky endeavor for nonprofits, potentially sparking conflicts of interest and tarnishing nonprofits’ reputations.1 However, when executed carefully and strategically, as was done with the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Go Red for Women Campaign, the nonprofit can make a powerful impact. When moving forward on an adult inactivity campaign, AHA should consider lessons learned from Go Red: (1) the power of advertising and branding, and (2) the strategic selection of corporate sponsors.…

    Sustainability plays a great role in this cause-marketing event. According to VP of marketing, Julia Cordua, states that "Bono and Bobby Shriver did not want a one-time event, they wanted a five to ten years of ongoing donations" "GAP initially offer RED to give 100 percent of its profits to the cause, but Bono and Shriver refused to accept more than 50 percent" (83). The purpose of only accepting 50 percent…

    3. For any campaign, non profit or profit to keep the doors open it has to have more money for the cause then for the campaign itself. Same goes for RED’s campaign where $100 million dollars had been spent on marketing but only about $25 million had gone to the cause. After speculations by industry observers that this could trigger a backlash for RED, I believe that this criticism is justified. RED had spent more money on marketing than on the cause of their campaign which is a disproportionate ratio between the marketing overhead and the money raised. The brands backing RED are at more benefit than RED itself. If more RED iPods sell, Apple is at a…

    Twenty years ago and earlier, with rare exceptions, the only corporate charity was a bit of gifting by the CEO, perhaps to the arts. Ten years ago, corporate philanthropy and volunteerism became popular as an a la carte add on. In these posts from the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), I am turning the spotlight on the avant garde of CSR: companies that make community and global problem-solving part of their business platform, thus making "doing good" sustainable.…

    Economic environment consists of the totality of economic factors, such as employment, income, inflation, interest rates, productivity, and wealth that influence the buying behavior of consumers and institutions (businessdictionary, 2011). Tiffany & Co contributes to the economic growth of the community around them by opening stores in the states; in 2004 the company opened ten stores four of which were located in the United States. That year sales increased 2.2 billion which means some of that revenue was filtered through the communities that the stores were opened in. As of January 31, 2007, the Company operated 64 Tiffany & Co. stores in the United States (answers, 2011).…
