Blending Social Values into the Marketing Mix
Social Capital: The New Return on Investment Conference

FV Centre for Social Enterprise, September 26 & 27, 2005, Abbotsford, BC

A pinch of this and a dash of that…

The traditional recipe for successful marketing campaigns rests on the 4 P's - product, price, place, and promotion. However, like any good recipe, traditional marketing strategies can be modified to fit new circumstances with the addition of new and exciting ingredients. Such is the case of marketing social enterprises. While the standard recipe for marketing success still relies on the 4 P's, new ingredients can be used to spice up the mix to reflect the core social and economic principles that guide these enterprises. Join us to review and examine the 4 P's, and, examine what other factors influence the marketing mix adopted by successful social enterprises.
