Summary: A Comprehensive, Systematic Resource
Review: "Social Marketing: Improving the Quality of Life" is a comprehensive, systematic and user-friendly social marketing resource.

The book includes case studies written by practitioners from education and health currently working in the field, an abundance of illustrations and examples, as well as templates and worksheets for developing and implementing social marketing campaigns.

If you want to create a pro-social marketing campaign or just want to deepen your knowledge of social marketing, media campaigns, target audiences, advertising, etc., this is the book to have.

Summary: A Needed Contribution to the Field
Review: First, in the interest of full disclosure, let me say that I contributed a case study to this work. I had nothing else to do with the book, however! Always eager for a new resource, I was very interested in looking over the whole work when it was published.

When I received my copy, I poured over the book, and I must say I was very impressed (irrespective of my conribution)! The authors did a very good job of presenting the richness of social marketing in a simple, understandable way.

The page formating makes it very inviting and easy to read. It is very visual, with many examples and figures. The text flows well and is very readable.

I think the book will have a lot of applicability. The key questions and concepts, and the summaries and issues for discussion, certainly will make it useful as a textbook. It also will be useful to anyone picking it up for themselves, or to augment some other training. I think the book fills a niche for an easy-to-understand, "user-friendly," yet comprehensive presentation of social marketing. I commend it to your reading.

to all students and professionals. This is the
Social Marketing book that will be the benchmark
for the future. I would like to see someone try
