What is cause marketing?
A programme designed by a company to do something good for the community, environment, world or other cause.
There are a few things cause marketing is not :
It is not philanthropy - It is not an act of altruism
It is not a campaign - It’s not about drawing attention for a specified timeframe but integral to a company’s business plan.
It is not a dedication for general charity - Effective cause marketing chooses a specific cause that is in line with the business
Benefits of cause marketing:
Create shareable content by earning the right to share it.
Meet younger consumer expectations
Grow consumer trust
Increase earnings
Attract consumers
