Developing the Social Marketing Plan
Use this as the model for your Final Exam Substitute
Project
While either the old or the new textbook can be helpful to you in
learning about the issues in Social Marketing, you are already prepared
by virtue of having taken Introductory Marketing or its equivalent, to
write a Marketing Plan. A Marketing Plan for a social product is not
much different. You may consult the Plan assigned to Intro Marketing students but realize that you are not
bound by the space limitations that they are, and realize that you may
have to provide explanation and justification for decisions which would
be more easily taken for granted in a Plan for a consumer good like
toothpaste.

Marketing Budget
(Consider the issues more
than just numbers; you don't need to make up a
budget, but you do need to consider and deal with
the problems you will face with respect to funding
your campaign - where you will get the money and
how you will best spend it)
Controls
(What controls and methods
of measurement will you put in place to ensure
that when you are finished, you have done what you
set out to do?)
