A social marketing approach

Even if you don’t take social marketing any further, just considering these four questions will add value to your projects and policies.

  1. Do I really understand my target audience and see things from their perspective? 
  2. Am I clear about what I would like my target audience to do? 
  3. For my target audience, do the benefits of doing what I would like them to do outweigh the costs or barriers to doing it? 
  4. Am I using a combination of activities in order to encourage people to achieve the desired action?
