Two-thirds of Americans report having greater trust in companies aligned with a social issue.

Cause-related marketing programs not only enhance a company’s image but also increase employee satisfaction. Ninety percent of employees in companies with such programs report feeling proud of their company. Cause Marketing will show all businesses, regardless of size, how to work with a socially responsible organization, cause, or event to increase brand equity and consumer and employee loyalty, to differentiate their brands from competition, and to boost profits.

Author Joe Marconi has created the most comprehensive book on this timely subject. Explaining how to implement a cause marketing program, he joins with the organization Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) and discusses never-before-published case studies, such as Mattel, Eddie Bauer, General Mills, and Starbucks. BSR is a global resource for companies seeking to sustain their commercial success in ways that demonstrate respect for ethical values, people, communities, and the environment.

Cause Marketing draws important distinctions between a business embracing a cause and the broader issues relating to social responsibility. The book also presents:

• Guidelines for, and examples of, individuals and companies aligning themselves with causes that advance their business interests and promote public welfare

• Damage control scenarios and how to respond when a cause with which a company is associated is the subject of scandal or negative publicity

• When and how local, national, or international causes work to the subject’s advantage

By focusing on an umbrella-marketing plan, Marconi outlines what a commitment to socially responsible business and marketing can mean in terms of a company’s image, reputation, market share, and profitability.

From the Inside Flap

Marketing

"86 percent of consumers have a more positive image of a company they believe is doing something to make the world a better place…"

"Nine out of ten employees of companies involved in cause marketing programs reported they felt proud of their companies…"

Over the past few years, cause marketing has skyrocketed to become a highly visible, cost-effective, and controversial means of enhancing brand awareness, increasing consumer and employee loyalty, differentiating from competition, and boosting profits.

In Cause Marketing, author Joe Marconi examines the elements necessary in supporting a socially responsible component of a well-crafted overall marketing plan. Utilizing compelling discussions and original, never before published case studies, Marconi’s expert writing illuminates how the road toward a successful, dynamic cause marketing program has been successful—or not successful—for various organizations of different sizes, budgets, and industries.

Cause Marketing examines the environment of cause marketing, damage control, and the impact of the events of September 11, 2001. In this analysis, Cause Marketing draws important distinctions between a business embracing a cause and the broader issues relating to social responsibility. Explaining how to conceptualize, develop, and implement a cause marketing program, Marconi partners with the organization Business for Social Responsibility and discusses companies such as Target, Eddie Bauer, and Timberland Company.
