INTERNET AND SOCIAL MARKETING
Aug 10 2007, 7:24 PM EDT | Post edited: Aug 10 2007, 7:24 PM EDT
I am wonder how useful is to use Internet in social marketing campaigns.

The Internet is one of the most efficient tools of modern marketing. The e-marketing has obtained an invaluable relevance over the years because it is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to disseminate information to a wide range of consumers.

Through the Web, a message can reach at lot of people in almost every place of the world. Moreover, the speed at which a campaign can get its message to the target population has no pair in the marketing world.

The Internet, however, has a considerable disadvantage: you would end up sacrificing the number of social marketing strategies in favor of limits the expanding the capacity of action. It is difficult to promote a behavior or a behavioral change through the Internet because it is an impersonal channel, where the relationship with customers is not as close as it is in any other media, and the customer’s feedback is limited. There are not reliable reactions and answers to campaigns.

The Internet is a tool that could work well to promote actions and campaigns directed to the younger generations, but it is not the most effective channel to promote social marketing campaigns designated to change behaviors in communities or to encourage new actions in some specific individuals.

The short answer is no!

Any time you have a technology that goes looking for a cause, forget it.
But if you have a well conceived marketing/communications plan and a specific audience, you can ask yourself if cell phones or the internet are appropriate. If that works, then go for it.

or at least that is my $0.02.

At times, the internet gives this false sense of "hype" around issues and we think that a "wide range of consumers" get information through this mechanism and so we think it is a powerful tool. It has potential. But there is always the issue of ACCESS. Tim is right; the question really is: Is the internet appropriate for the specific audience that we are trying to reach? It may be or it may not be, so be careful how you choose to use it. Oh, if only the villagers in that remote location all had broadband or wireless access. 0  out of 1 found this valuable.

I am not economist, but it does not mean that i do not know something about economy. As I observe the state of economy, i can understand the simple plain word which is affordability..It is a common sense that the economy of a nation is supported by domestic spending of average consumers. It is equally clear that growth of the house market can not be sustained without synchronized growth in household incomes. When the growth in household incomes under pace that of the house market, the affordability becomes an issue. With the gap between two growth rates trending wider, affordability problem is inevitably escalated and will result in a collapse of the house market eventually. Sometimes as an economy obsevant, i would rather have get cash advance to give my family good sustainance.read more http://personalmoneystore.com/Cash-Advance/
