Üreticiler ürettikleri ürün ve hizmetleri pazarlarken; bir iş başvurusunda kişi kendini; politika alanında partiler, fikirlerini pazarlamaktadırlar. Aynı şekilde toplumun yararı için birtakım davranışlar da pazarlanabilir. Örneğin, toplumun sigara içmemesi için 'sigara içmeme davranışı' pazarlanabilir. Kar amacı gütmeyen sivil toplum kuruluşları ve devlet tarafından yürütülen ve toplum yararına hizmet eden pazarlama uygulamaları, sosyal pazarlama olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Sosyal pazarlama, içinde bulunduğu pazarın yapısı ve çevresel faktörlerin yanı sıra kendine özgü birtakım özelliklerinden dolayı geleneksel pazarlama uygulamalarından farklılık göstermekte ve birtakım farklı sorunlarla karşılaşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada sosyal pazarlama kavramı ve karşılaşılan sorunlar tartışılmakta, bu sorunların üstesinden gelerek daha etkin sosyal pazarlama programlarının hazırlanması konusunda öneriler getirilmektedir.

Clothing is one of the most important retail sectors in Turkey. The aim of this study is to explore the attitudes of consumers towards purchasing from foreign apparel retailers. Besides, the relationships between these attitudes and age and foreign country visits are investigated. The study was conducted in Izmir in three main central business districts. Data were collected with a questionnaire, which was applied to more than 500 individuals in December 2007. Results show that these retailers had favorable attitude scores related to style and size, but unfavorable attitude scores related to price and popular brand names. Age was found to be negatively correlated with attitudes. Having visited foreign countries created differences on attitudes.

usage of web-based user innovation tools and firms’ innovativeness. Besides, it is also
aimed to explore the tools that are used in conjunction and trigger innovativeness. 61 firms operating in consumer goods/services sector within the list of Fortune Top 500 Turkey List, published in 2014, responded to the questionnaire. Findings reveal that not all of the web-based user innovation tools have a significant relationship with firms’ innovativeness. Hypotheses of the study are tested by correlation analysis and research questions are investigated via mining association rules with the FP-Growth algorithm. The association rules mined pinpoint that 71% of the companies that use “virtual communities formed by users, and marketing intelligence services” together and 65% of the firms using market intelligence services in their new product development process are found to trigger innovativeness. Up to date, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no research focusing on the relationship between the usage of web-based user innovation tools and firms’ innovativeness. Therefore, the most important contribution of this study is being a pioneer attempt to provide an empirical evidence for the aforementioned relationship by shedding light on each tools’ effect on firm’s innovativeness for consumer goods/services. Web-based user innovation tools are the prominent enablers of customer integration into innovation processes of firms leading to customer generated value. Thus, it may be important for firms to decide on the bundle of the web-based user innovation tools to be used; since the usage of these tools together or separately might have different effects on firms’ innovativeness.
