THE SOCIAL MEDIUMS * *Adapted from CDC

Mobile Technologies “ 62% of all Americans are part of a wireless, mobile population that participates in digital activities away from home or work. Not only are young people attuned to this kind of access, African Americans and English-speaking Latinos are more likely than white Americans to use non-voice data applications on their cell phones.” http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2008/Mobile-Access-to-Data-and-Information.aspx http://www.cdc.gov/healthmarketing/ehm/databriefs/ The Economist: “Nomads at Last” April 12 th , 2008

Mobile Phone
Most utilized media by CDC
Immediate, interactive, micro-targeted

Interactive media can make health information more powerful through:
Personalization
Presentation
Participation
CDC’s View of Interactive Media

CDC should be ( must be ) where people are
Increases the dissemination and potential impact of CDC’s science
Leverages unique characteristics of emerging channels
Reaches diverse audiences
Allows for tailored health messages
Facilitates interactive communication and community
Empowers people to make healthier and safer decisions
Why Social Media

The Social Media Mindset
People are already engaged
Audiences are generators of content
The world is made of social networks
Be transparent
Be real
If there is not value in your content—forget all of this…

COMMUNICATION

Why do You Communicate? Not only to inform people about your organization!
To get them to do something !
Write a letter to the editor
Partner with you
Develop a policy
Recycle plastic bottles
Get a flu shot
To improve quality of their lives and increase their well-being
  

Warning! Messages Alone  Marketing! Marketing is more about lowering barriers and increasing benefits!

Got Behavior Change?

Factors that Determine Behavior
External
Policies
Access
Skills
Actual Consequences
Cultural Beliefs and Values

Factors that Determine Behavior
Internal
Knowledge and Beliefs
Attitudes
Perceived Risk
Perceived Consequences
Self Efficacy
Intention
(Note: External factors are easier to change than internal factors.)

Messages alone…
Necessary, but may not be sufficient to move behavior
Think of your favorite commercial—if the item it promoted was hard to find, cost too much, tasted bad, or your friend said didn’t work—would you still buy it?!
Even after all the good information, there may still be barriers!

SOCIAL MARKETING

Simplified Definition
Social Marketing is the coordinated activities that comprise a program to make certain behaviors
Fun
“ Are the consequences of behavior both real and rewarding for me?”
Easy
“ Can I do it? Am I capable?”
Popular
“ What do the people I care about want me to do?”

Social Marketing Interventions to Address Barriers and Benefits
There was a perception that free condoms were defective. 50 cents was cheaper than in stores, and avoided this perception. ( Product , Price ).
Participants could get condoms at a sports physical instead of a family planning clinic. ( Place , Price )
A health educator discussed how to use lubricants and other methods to maintain pleasurable sensation. ( Product , Price )
Health educators and participants used role-playing to practice talking to partners. ( Price )
All brochures, posters and ads conveyed the benefits in the exchange chart. ( Promotion )

Marketing Solutions For You: Focus on Tangibles & Intangibles (Product) 1) After people have your good information, are there services or tangible items that will help them? 2) What is in it for them (benefits)?

Marketing Solutions For You: Focus on Barriers & Benefits (Price)
What is important to people, onto which you can tie your goals? What motivates them?
Finishing school
Being financially independent
Not being sick, and having to go to a doctor
Being “cool”
2) What barriers to the behavior exist? How can you minimize them?
3) How can you make the behavior “fun, easy and popular?”

Marketing Solutions For You: Focus on Location & Time (Place)
Where are the people you want to reach located? Can you go there?
2) Is your location convenient for them?
3) Is your schedule convenient to them?
4) When and where are they already likely to be thinking about your issue?
5) Is something happening in the social environment onto which you can piggyback?

Marketing Solutions For You: Focus on Information (Promotion)
How does your audience like to receive information?
If you use mass media, when are they watching, listening, reading?
Where are they located?
Where and when are they already likely to be thinking about your issue?
