The concept of Product and Price from the Four Ps of Marketing can be confusing when you’re new to social marketing. What’s your product if you are just trying to persuade someone to change their behavior? And what is the price if no money changes hands? This episode is the first in a brief series on social marketing, breaking down these two critical concepts and offering some suggestions for how you can easily practice identifying product and price as they apply to both social marketing and corporate marketing. If you’re fairly new to social marketing, go back and listen to Episode 6 first!
