Social Entrepreneurship Chapter 6: Social Marketing
Campaign-Purpose
• Given this background, you now craft a broad purpose statement for the campaign.• It answers the questions, what is the potential impact of a successful
campaign? And what difference will it make? The campaign purpose is the ultimate impact (benefit) that will be realized if your target audience performs the desired behaviors at the intended levels. • The nature of the campaign purpose will set the tone for the
marketing plan components.
Social Entrepreneurship Chapter 6: Social Marketing
Campaign-Focus
• Now a focus is selected to narrow the scope of the plan, choosing from the vast number of potential options to contribute to the plan’s purpose. • This decision-making process can begin with brainstorming several
major potential approaches (focuses) that might contribute to the plan’s purpose.• These may be approaches that the agency has discussed or undertaken
in the past; they may be new for the organization, recently identified as areas of greatest opportunity or emerging need; or they may be ones that other organizations have focused on and should be considered for your organization

Segmentation and Targeting in Social Marketing
• Social marketing offers a consumer centered approach and demands a thorough, well researched understanding of the target market, specifically their knowledge, attitudes and behaviours relevant to the behaviour change at hand).
• Key to this research is techniques for segmenting and evaluating target markets.• Market segmentation is the process of dividing the target market into groups to
better understand their current behaviours, evaluating each segment and selecting target segment(s) and then developing an appropriate marketing mix for those segments which includes developing messages and tailoring programs to meet their specific needs.
• Segmenting target markets helps us to group those with commonalities as well as gain a better understanding their specific wants, needs, barriers and behaviours
Social Entrepreneurship Chapter 6: Social Marketing
Variables Used to Segment Markets
• Demographic Variables: Age, Gender, Family Size, Marital status, Income, Occupation, Education and so on.• Geographic Variables: Continents, Countries, State, Regions,
Countries, Cities and Neighborhood• Psychographic Variables: Social Class, Lifestyle, Values, Personality
characteristic• Behavioural Segmentation: Knowledge, Attitude and Behaviour (KAP),
Occasion, Benefit sought, Usage level, Readiness and Attitude
Social Entrepreneurship Chapter 6: Social Marketing
The Trans theoretical Model
• Pre-contemplation (Not Ready)-"People are not intending to take action in the foreseeable future, and can be unaware that their behaviour is problematic"
• Contemplation (Getting Ready)-"People are beginning to recognize that their behaviour is problematic, and start to look at the pros and cons of their continued actions"
• Preparation (Ready)-"People are intending to take action in the immediate future, and may begin taking small steps toward behaviour change.”
• Action – "People have made specific overt modifications in modifying their problem behaviour or in acquiring new healthy behaviours"
• Maintenance – "People have been able to sustain action for a while and are working to prevent relapse"
• Termination – "Individuals have zero temptation and they are sure they will not return to their old unhealthy habit as a way of coping.”

group if the• Problem is not addressed/they do not adopt the desired behaviour?
Defenselessness: How capable are the audience to defend themselves against the problem by themselves or will they be able to counter the problem with some external help in an effective way?

campaign? Do the audience positively perceive it and respond to it or not?• Incremental Costs: What is the incremental costs that you have to incur
to target this segment over and above the existing targets?• Responsiveness to Marketing Mix: How positively will the segment
respond to a certain set of marketing mix vis-à-vis others?• Organizational capabilities: Can we, given our current staff and

the nature of the overall value that a social marketing campaign has to deliver. • Product• Product or the offering in Social marketing has two levels; an intangible product
level and a tangible product level. The core offering in a social marketing is no good or tangible product, it is the ‘behavioural change’ that the campaign is striking at.
