Good things need marketing as well. It sounds so simple: tell us what you think. But is too often that what we're trying to communicate is lost in translation, despite our intentions. We say one thing, the other person hears something different, and this leads to misunderstandings, frustration, and unwanted conflict.
What is common for endangered species of salmon, urban gardening, homelessness? Social marketing.
There is a palpable tension in the conduct and implementation of social changes in the world among people who believe that marketing is a great evil, and those who believe that marketing can be used for good. This tension often occurs when planning programs, conferences, debates, or the allocation of resources. There is no need that anyone who works on solving social problems is an expert in social marketing. However, learning some basic marketing skills can contribute to their work.
