Social Marketing: Influencing Behaviors for Good
Communities often attempt to get their members to adopt specific behaviors (ex: volunteering, recycling, littering, natural resource protection). Outdated, yet frequently used approaches are providing information and raising awareness. I will present the toolkit of strategies that behavioral scientists and social marketers use to get people to change their behaviors.
