“The text is very user-friendly, and helps students grasp concepts and content related to social marketing. The systematic approach is easy for students to follow. The worksheets are fantastic, and the exercises are easy to implement. It is an excellent post-course reference guide for students working in public health/health education.”

This book would be an even better resource if it an internet portal to help lecturers develop their learning materials. Other than that it is ideal for level 4 to 6.

The book shows guild line for developing a social marketing program, but not much detail in concepts for understanding the social marketing. However, it should be useful for student to follow a very easy step-by-step to do the social marketing.

This book is a good book that gives valuable information about social marketing. I am considering using it as a supplement book in strategic marketing course.

The text is most appropriate for first year marketing students. It is an easy to follow guide that provides basic definitions of key concepts and a simple step by step action plan for students to design their own social marketing strategy. Best used in concert with another text that provides more in-depth consideration on social marketing.
