There are four main ways for companies to become socially responsible marketers: 1) corporate social responsibility, 2) socially responsible business models, 3) cause-related marketing, and 4) social marketing. Corporate social responsibility involves ensuring legal and ethical behavior as well as social responsibility and sustainability. Socially responsible business models focus on innovating solutions and values in a socially conscious way. Cause-related marketing links company contributions to causes with customer transactions. Social marketing furthers causes through programs run by non-profits or governments. Effective social marketing involves understanding target audiences, setting objectives, developing marketing strategies, and evaluating programs.

opportunities.
Yet the socioeconomic, cultural and
natural environments will impose
new limits on marketing and
business practices.

15. Companies that innovate solutions
and values in a socially responsible
way….
are most likely to succeed.

behaviour.

17. Companies such as…

Cause Related
Marketing

19. Cause related marketing links the
firm’s contributions to a designated
cause to customers’ engaging
directly or indirectly in revenue
producing transactions with the
firm.

20. Some excellent examples
of Cause Related Marketing
are…

21. The British Airways through it’s
Change for Good programme
encouraged passengers to donate
foreign currency left over from their
travels to UNICEF programmes.

22. Tesco has created a “Tesco for Schools and
Clubs” program in which customers receive
a voucher for ever 10 pounds spent which
they can donate to a school of their choice
or any registered club for children.

23. P&G’s Dawn dishwashing liquid, has long highlighted
its unusual benefit of cleaning up birds caught in oil
spills. Dawn has marketed itself as “the only bird
cleaning agent that is recommended because it
removes oil from feathers, it is non toxic and does not
leave a residue.

marketing is reduced by sporadic
involvement with numerous

a few main causes to simplify
execution and maximize impact.

29. Limiting support to a single cause may
limit the pool of consumers or
stakeholders who can transfer positive
feelings from the cause to the firm.

30. Opportunities may be greater with
“orphan causes” – diseases that affect
fewer than 200,000 people.
For Example: The American Heart Association’s
“Go Red for Women” program heighted
awareness towards heart diseases in women.
