Social marketing seeks to develop and integrate marketing concepts with other approaches to influence behaviours that benefit individuals and communities for the greater social good. It seeks to integrate research, best practice, theory, audience and partnership insight, to inform the delivery of competition sensitive and segmented social change programmes that are effective, efficient, equitable and sustainable.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the scope of social marketing by re-examining some of its core concepts: the balance between the “wants” of individuals with the “needs” of society; the nature of exchange; the inclusion of techniques not explicitly considered part of the panoply of marketing; techniques available to social marketing, such as “nudge” style techniques, regulation or behavioural conditioning; the view that behaviour change must be its definitive goal; the ethical and political dimensions of social marketing; and the definition of social marketing.
JustGiving has been monitoring the increasing power of mobile fundraising and its impact on social media since early 2012, when stats revealed huge growth in this area.
these are very good points made, mobile users use social media everywhere and more then a regular desktop computer. The average person uses facebook more on mobile then desktop. Looking at these numbers are interesting.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the field of social marketing. The field needs to evaluate what works, and more importantly for it to prosper and remain relevant, it must discover and incorporate concepts and techniques from other disciplines that are aligned around core ideas of people-centered and socially oriented.
First, do no harm. Hippocrates put this in words over 2,000 years ago, and it's still Rule Number One.
Sometimes, doing no harm can mean not starting a community intervention at all. As John McKnight points out in The Careless Society: Community and Its Counterfeits, community interventions may in fact sometimes harm participants by substituting for what they really need -- to be part of a real community, to be regarded in terms of their capacities rather than their deficiencies, to have access to a steady source of income. McKnight suggests asking some questions before you embark on an intervention:
1. What are the negative effects of the human service proposed to help the class of people? 2. What are the situations in which the proposed service may be applied with many other services and what interactive negative effects will result? 3. Will a focus on the capacities of the class of people be more effective than a service program's focus on deficiencies and needs? 4. Will providing the dollars proposed for funding the human service provide greater benefits if given to the clients as cash income? 5. Will incorporation into community life be more beneficial than special, separating service treatment?
From 2002 to the present are more than 10 years of activity MKTS.The Association of Social Promotion "Social marketing and health communication" emphasizes the use of such disciplines as constituent elements of the political and strategic levers of health promotion.
Guided by the MAIN model (Sundar, 2008), this study explored the effects of three interface cues conveying source attributes on credibility of health messages in Twitter: authority cue (whether a source is an expert or not), bandwagon cue (the number of followers that a source has—large vs. small), and source proximity cue (distance of messages from its original source—tweet vs. retweet).
Everybody talks about e-health these days, but few people have come up with a clear definition of this comparatively new term. Barely in use before 1999, this term now seems to serve as a general "buzzword," used to characterize not only "Internet medicine", but also virtually everything related to computers and medicine. The term was apparently first used by industry leaders and marketing people rather than academics.

A work is described as an ‘orphan work’ if it is in copyright, and if the holder of the copyright cannot be identified, or cannot be found. It can be difficult and costly to trace the rightholder because:
the author may be unknown, or may be deceased leaving no locatable heirs;
where a publisher or institution holds the rights, it may have ceased to exist with no legal successor, or it may have merged with another entity - the records about copyright ownership may be lost;
the work may include within it other works, such as photographs or diagrams (called embedded works) with their own separate rights, one or more of which may be orphaned.
