Social Marketing Theory
In deciding to buy a product, the consumer must weigh the costs against the benefits of having the product
ie: the price of a car with respect to gas mileage,
size, ratings, etc.

Communications Implications• Prompt response to customers will give them a
sense of priority and will, in-turn, give their business to Chrysler Group brands
• Creatively notifying the public about new models, events and features exhibits Chrysler’s innovation and style, giving customers a reason to invest in Chrysler Group brands
• Social media outlets are accessed by millions daily. Negative exposure about a company is seen and spreads rapidly; a huge turn off for current and potential customers of Chrysler Group. However, when used correctly can capture the attention of many, especially over the less-exposed competition.

StrategiesMosaic:
Individually, components create their own message but also work together to spread a large overlying one
• Facebook, Twitter and Youtube all serve an individual purpose but also spread the Imported From Detroit message and express the need for direct consumer communication
Reversal:Imported From Detroit strives to shake the negative stereotype given to the Motor City and devotes a lot of time and effort to social media involvement
• Widely accepted nationwide, as shown by nearly 10 million views on the 2011 Super Bowl commercial
