SOCIAL MARKETING FRAMEWORK

Stages of change model : behavior is a process not an Event. People are at differentPoints in that process where we can market Health belief model: when they know

hazards they can be changed

Example of a Marketing Mix Strategy

A breast cancer screening campaign for older women:

The product could be getting an annual mammogram, and performing monthly breast self-exams. The price of engaging in these behaviors includes the

monetary costs of the mammogram and exam, potential discomfort and/or embarrassment, time and even the possibility of actually finding a lump.

The place that these medical and educational services are offered might be a mobile van, local hospitals, clinics and worksites, depending upon the needs of the target audience.

Promotion could be done through public service announcements, billboards, mass mailings, media events and community outreach.

The "publics“ your target audience (let's say low-income women age 40 to 65), the people who influence their decisions like their husbands or physicians, policymakers, public service directors at local radio stations, as well as your board of directors and office staff.

Partnerships could be local or national women's groups, corporate sponsors, medical organizations, service clubs or media outlets.

The policy focus on increasing access to mammograms through lower costs, requiring insurance and coverage of mammograms in health care or increasing funding for breast cancer research.

The purse strings, or where the funding will come from, may be governmental grants, such as from the National Cancer Institute or the local health department, foundation grants or an organization like the American Cancer Society.

Positioning : our competitors as private clinics.
