Societal Marketing
Customers have high expectations when it comes to companies they buy from. The market expects a corporation to consider what is best for society when selling its products and services, rather than only what will benefit earnings and profits for the company.
Today, societal marketing is on the rise, as more companies consider the value proposition of their image beyond just the features and benefits of a product or service. Societal marketing takes into account issues such as the environment, fair trade, and the overall betterment of society.
