Changing behaviours through Social Marketing
Social Marketing is “the systematic application of marketing, alongside other concepts and techniques, to achieve specific behavioural goals for a social good”. It deals with short, medium and long-term issues and allows public services to be efficient, work in partnership, and make their communities safer by placing their customers and their needs at its heart. Social Marketing enables you to be proactive rather than reactive to your customer’s needs and, as a result, you provide citizen-focused services, which tackle the real issues of a community and deliver solutions which work.
We can help you successfully implement social marketing principles and embed them either at a strategic or operational level in your organisation:
- Strategically, it gives you a guiding set of values which ensure that organisations are citizen-centric by using customer insight to formulate and develop key policies.
- At an operational level, Social marketing is more often used as part of an outcome-focused prevention approach.
Social Marketing should be part of your organisation’s overall plan as it is a way of improving and delivering effective and efficient public-sector services which are focused on the citizen.
