"This is a brilliant explanation of how social marketing can address upstream issues... As the author points out, too often people think of the downstream applications of social marketing. This book is the only one in this camp, and it does a very good job of it." —Mike Basil, University of Lethbridge, Canada Most observers and many practitioners see social marketing as a downstream approach to influencing people with "bad behaviors"—smoking, neglecting prenatal care, not recycling.

FROM THE PREFACE... This sixth edition of Strategic Marketing for Nonprofit Organizations marks a major change in the way in which nonprofit marketing is conceived and applied. Much more strongly than in previous editions, this book seeks to position marketing as perhaps the most critical--if not the most critical--discipline needed for nonprofit success. It argues that success ultimately requires the influencing of the behavior in a wide range of key target markets--clients, fenders, polity makers, volunteers, the media as well as the nonprofit's own staff: This is the province of marketing Marketers are the behavioral influence business: The book positions marketing as absolutely central to top management's achievement of the organization's mission. Implicit in this volume is the notion that everyone in nonprofit management--including the CEO--ought to have a thorough grounding in marketing and what it does and can do. -- Alan R. Andreasen and Philip Kotler
Product, price, promotion and place: these are the four key areas in which marketing influences consumers. This innovative book takes the stance that poor consumers are distinctly disadvantaged in each of these areas. Documenting the imbalance of the exchange process by describing the business practice of those who market to poor consumers, issues related to basic necessities such as food, housing and transportation are addressed, as well as the consumption of `sin' products by poor consumers. The problems faced by those who target low-income consumers are also examined, including the conflict between sound marketing practices and marginally ethical or unethical applications of those practices.
