It defines social marketing as "a process for influencing human behaviour on a large scale, using marketing principles for the purpose of societal benefit rather than commercial profit." The document distinguishes social marketing from health education and health promotion, and discusses how social marketing utilizes concepts from commercial marketing, like market segmentation and communication strategies, to promote social ideas and practices. It also notes some related approaches like cause-related marketing and corporate social responsibility that are not true social marketing.
