Synopsis

Turning Principle into Practice  

Social Marketing: Changing Behaviors for Good is the definitive textbook for the planning and implementation of programs designed to influence social change. No other text is as comprehensive and foundational when it comes to taking key marketing principles and applying them to campaigns and efforts to influence social action. Nancy R. Lee (a preeminent lecturer, consultant, and author in social marketing) and Philip Kotler (an influential individual in the field who coined the term "social marketing" in 1971 with Gerald Zaltman) demonstrate how traditional marketing principles and techniques are successfully applied to campaigns and efforts to improve health, decrease injuries, protect the environment, build communities and enhance financial well-being. The Fifth Edition contains more than 26 new cases highlighting the 10 step planning model, and a new chapter describing major theories, models and frameworks that inform social marketing strategies and inspire social marketers.

Review:

"It is one of the best books out there, so have continued to use it. Students generally like it. . . .This is the state of the art text." Author: W. Douglas Evans

"The strength of the book is in the examples (including boxes), especially the different lengths so that you can kind of choose yourself how much to use and how deep to go into a particular illustration." Author: G. Scott Erickson

"I like the mix of topics in the book, and I like the chapter dedicated to each step of the marketing process." Author: Jennifer Cross

"I like the text because it ties to concepts the students have learning in Principles of Marketing, but also distinguishes how social marketing is different than traditional marketing.  The vignettes provide good examples, and the chapters are not too long or complex." Author: Nicole Vowles
