Description:
In this unit, students will examine contemporary marketing issues relating to the marketing of ideas, i.e. social marketing, as distinct from the marketing of goods or services. The main applications of social marketing to date have been in the areas of health, contraception, safety, and conservation. Students will analyse social marketing programs and outline the development of a program in a context of their choice, with reference to appropriate consumer research, market segmentation, creation of a social product, and other marketing concepts. Utilising advances in communication technology, social marketing is a most powerful tool for today’s governments and cause organisations. Emphasis will be placed on controversial ethical considerations involved when using marketing as a strategy for changing the behaviour of target groups.
