It is said, that marketing concepts and techniques can be effective in promoting social objectives such as housing, safe driving, and family planning. It could be argued that social causes can be advanced more successfully through applying principles of marketing analysis, planning and control, hence promoting social change.\n\nHowever, in my opinion we are talking about individual empowerment through econmics, for example using market force to promote social change.\n\nLets take an example from Finland...\nI call this the housing estate theory\nQuestion: why is the not the same urban decay there is in the UK or the USA regarding housing estates or projects?\n\nFirstly, the Finns build houses or flats/appartments for living not for just staying\nSecondly, they build rented and sales dwellings together\nThese two ideas are created it could be argued by this       such as: \n\n1. knowledge - the problem is known, housing estates creste urban decay, however we need more houses. \n\n2. desire - there is a desire for most people to change the future of the housing estate toward a happy and safe environment. \n\n3. skills - they know what to do, build a happy and safe environment by building rented and sales houses together.\n\n4. optimism - people in rented dwellings see the benefit and the possiblity of buying there own place while not wishing to give the image of the poorer relation. While the home owners are more willing to keep the environment safe because they have a personal investment.\n\n5. facilitation - home owner have better educational and financal resorses to influence services to the area hither to the rented dweller benefit.\n \n6. stimulation - this it could be argue influences the rented dweller to buy or invest in the properties which in turn rinses the social position of the area.\n \n7. reinforcement - the newspapers say its a nice place to live hence market force or social marketing has achieved it goal of improving the living conditions of the rented dwellers, and ending urban and social decay.

The first step in identifying your target market is understanding what your products/services have to offer to a group of people or businesses. To do this, identify your product or service's features and benefits. A feature is a characteristic of a product/service that automatically comes with it. \n\nFor example, if a toothpaste has a stain-removing formula, that's a feature. The benefit to the customer, however, is whiter teeth.\nWhile features are valuable and can certainly enhance your product, benefits motivate people to buy. \n\nAn example is anti-lock brakes; they are features on a car, but the benefit to the consumer is safety. \nBy knowing what your product/service has to offer and what will make customers buy, you can begin to identify common characteristics of your potential market. \n\nFor example, there are many different consumers who desire safety as a benefit when purchasing a car. Rather than targeting everyone in their promotional strategy, a car manufacturer may opt to target a specific group of consumers with similar characteristics, such as families with young children. This is an example of market segmentation. \nIn one column, list the features of your product/service. In the other, list the benefits each feature yields to the buyer. \n\nFeatures: Benefits: \nList six of each.\n\nStep Two: Segment Your Overall Market \n\nIt is a natural instinct to want to target as many people and groups as possible. However, by doing this your promotional strategy will never talk specifically to any one group, and you will most likely turn many potential customers off. Your promotional budget will be much more cost effective if you promote to one type of customer and speak directly to them. This allows you to create a highly focused campaign that will directly meet the needs and desires of a specific group. Again, this is called market segmentation. \n\nNow you need to look up market segmwentation.

There are some benefits.  For example, if you work on an assembly line that makes cars, the marketing department of the car company influences the public to buy the product you produce.  This helps "move product" and pays your wages.  However, the over commercialization and corporate blight of all public spaces has no real advantage to society.

Internet Promotion - Advantages and Disadvantages\n\n\n\nThe emergence of globalise trade, increase in foreign investment and cross-border transactions have put many small businesses under pressure to find innovative ways to continue to market their products and services. This is especially difficult given that they often operate on tight marketing budgets.\n\nIn the quest for cheap marketing alternatives, these small businesses continue to use conventional marketing tools such as newspaper, magazine, radio and television advertisements, unaware of the advantages that Internet Promotion offers. All too often, these entrepreneurs focus on the disadvantages of Internet Promotion and fail to adequately take advantage of the opportunities that it presents. Moreover, their preoccupation with conventional marketing strategies is driven by a misconception that these are cheaper than Internet Promotion.\n\nTo most small business entrepreneurs, marketing or promoting their products or services via the Internet can be a daunting task. However, with adequate information small businesses can benefit significantly from Internet Promotion while minimising the disadvantages that it presents. In fact, it may prove to be the marketing strategy that generates the highest return on investment.\n\nThe Advantages\n\nCost Effective and Enduring Marketing Strategies\n\nThe Internet has become the information superhighway for the buying public. Most persons prefer the hassle free transactions that Internet shopping can offer. As a result, the Internet has become the most powerful selling tool. Internet Promotion offers cost effective ways for small businesses to enhance their product or service distribution networks. For example, the use of portals can help create new marketing channels and logistics, or provide better or faster product access for customers.\n\nIn comparison to other forms of marketing, Internet Promotion presents the advantage of reduced budget and storage costs, when compared with printing brochures, producing television or radio advertisements or managing a call centre. It presents a fast and cost effective option for penetrating new markets.\n\nMarket Penetration\n\nWith millions of person using the Internet to search for products and services, small businesses can penetrate other markets at a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing methods.\n\nWebsites act as virtual storefronts, allowing businesses to stay open 24/7. Internet Promotion gives a business greater visibility, thereby creating more opportunities for increasing its customers at relatively low cost. Never before has it been easier for an upstart business to be able to reach out to literally millions of potential customers and to position themselves for success, without the need for costly infrastructure and overwhelming marketing costs. Thanks to the Internet, new businesses can become popular almost overnight.\n\nLow Cost, Instant Communication\n\nEmail makes business communications instant, whether the customer or business affiliate is across the street or across the globe. It makes it easier for customers to maintain contact and readily facilitates repeat purchasing. An effective online strategy can therefore turn a small web business into a virtual cost saver and income-generating machine. The net result is that the small business can gain significant competitive advantage in a given market.\n\nMany online businesses have therefore resorted to the use of ezines, blogs, pop-up ads and other online marketing tools to let customers know about new products or services as well as provide information relevant to their respective industry. The benefits of this strategy are two fold. Marketers can effectively heighten brand awareness for relatively new products on the market whilst strengthening customer relationships, with shorter time frames.\n\nContent is Timeless\n\nInternet Promotion also provides the advantage of being enduring.

Set up some time of service where anyone can make a profile (myspace-like) or anyone can advertise, or something. If you're allowing people to advertise, then charge. Easy enough. If you're letting people make a profile/blog or just about anything else (text-based multiplayer game...) then have adds. You get money for having adds. But don't charge the costomers. But do give them an option where they get benefits for paying for a different level of service. \n\nIt takes a lot of effort, there's no real easy way to make money, because if it's easy people will do it themselves before they pay. For most thing knowledge of a web language such as PHP and a database such as MySQL would be required.

"Yes."\n\nMore seriously, people have all kinds of innate needs. Some are going to be stronger than others (refer to Maslow's hierarchy of needs), and others are just wants. \n\nWhen a business spends on marketing, they're generally doing it to boost the top line (revenues). \n\nCreating "need" where none exists, or where desire is light, is an expensive proposition. So, yes, marketing does it... but it's not a main thing that marketing does. The ROI is much higher in shifting preferences  (buy Pepsi instead of Coke, or Progresso instead of Campbells) rather than creating needs.\n\nGood luck,\nRex

No matter where you are in the world, people want the same things.Sadly, these are primarily to be richer (or at least appear richer) and look better. So any advert which offers these things will be effective. The main differences in the markets would be in how the message is put across. Overtly sexy images might be offensive in some cultures, for instance.

Advantages -- it can be private, so you avoid the Internet \ntrolls.\n\nDisadvantages -- it's easier to waste time because it's more friendly; you get used to those horrid abbreviations ("u r" instead of "you are") and they become part of your regular online chatter.
