Promotion

At Rare we add a 5th P Positioning How the Target Audience sees the new behavior in relation to the old.

Positioning Positioning in a Pride campaign is also often dependent in a major way on community mobilization – Pride – Support of the behavior change – Making the old behavior less socially acceptable – Making the behavior more sustainable Community Mobilization can make a powerful positioning statement

Its time to build the Mix – blending all 5 Ps product price place promotion positioning

Marketing Mix “I believe the genius of modern marketing is not the 4P’s, or audience research, or even exchange, but rather the management paradigm that studies, selects, balances and manipulates the 4P’s to achieve behavior change. We keep shortening the “the marketing mix” to the 4P’s. And I would argue that it is the “mix” that matters most.” This is exactly what all message campaigns miss – they never ask about the other 3P’s and that is why so many of them fail. Dr. Bill Smith

Now it is time to develop your Marketing Mix Marketing Mix ProductPricePlacePromotionPositioning First – Think about your audience persona and your benefits exchange Second – Develop a sub- strategy for each “P” Third – Blend the five sub- strategies into a single strategy or “Mix”

What makes a Marketing Mix Good or Bad? GOOD – Clearly based on your qualitative research – Is clearly positioned from the perspective of your target audience – In reviewing it – you have one clear direction of what you are doing and communicating to your target audience BAD – Not rooted in your Qualitative Research – Not clearly thought through from 5 different perspectives – Does not come together in ONE CLEAR strategy – the Mix
