Marketing Concepts

- The organization or program that is “most responsive” to and knowledgeable about the customer needs will “win”

Marketing Concepts
- Exchange Theory
- Using the right promotion techniques to offer the right product at right price, through correct distribution channels
an EXCHANGE will be made
- Consumers will give up what they currently have, use, or believe for what is being offered
- If a more desirable alternative is not the center of the offer, there will be no exchange
- For my target population how can I facilitate a voluntary exchange of what they are currently doing for the more healthful behavior and also satisfy the target?
- In social marketing the marketer’s objective for exchange is behavior change
