3.2 WHAT IS CAUSE RELATED MARKETING?

CRM is defined as marketing involving a cooperative effort of a “for profit” company and a non-profit organization, resulting in mutual benefit. CRM is different from corporate giving as it is not necessarily a one-time donation and is not tax deductible.

CRM was first seen in a campaign in 1976 through the partnership of the Marriott Corporation and the March of Dimes charity. (http://bruceburtch.com/casestudies.html) The Marriott’s overall objective of this partnership was to create major publicity and marketing awareness for the opening of their 200-acre family entertainment centre, Marriott’s Great America in Santa Clara, CA. They wanted to have over 2 million visitors in the first year of their family center.

The marketing campaigns was launched in 67 cities, in 17 western states offering participants the chance to win trips to Great America Centre for the walker who brought the most sponsorship in by the deadline.

  • The Soul Of Modern Men Under Socialism By Slavoj Zizek

    901 Words  | 2 Pages

    The shoe brand, TOMS, asserts that when a purchase of a product is made, they will help someone in need. This is the concept of “one for one” that represents the company. The quote from “The Soul of Modern Men Under Socialism,” by Wilde, explains that the solution is to make charity unnecessary by changing society so that poverty does not exist. This proves the point that organizations use acts of charity to earn more rather than actually donating, hoping to make consumers “feel good.” By casting the companies’ own words in a new light, the author uses their own advertising against them, with undeniable examples, and backs it up with quotes from an educated, socially conscious and well-respected

    Today’s brands want to seem more ethically conscious to persuade consumers in a number of ways and it begins with ethical branding. Whether it is social ethics or environmental ethics, brands are perusing a firm hold in the market in this new age of ethical consumerism. For example, PepsiCo is actively branding itself as ethically conscious. Using a multitude of strategies, whether it is its Global Code of Conduct where it creates a culture within the company and its employees to set ethics as a company goal, or its environmental practices to increasingly reduce its carbon footprint.
