Social Marketing Services, Inc.

Welcome to Social Marketing Services

Social Marketing is a distinct marketing discipline, one that has been labeled as such since the early '70s and is focused on influencing behaviors for good -- ones that will improve health, prevent injuries, protect the environment, and contribute to communities. Fundamental principles at the core of this practice have been used to help reduce tobacco use, decrease infant mortality, stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, make wearing bike helmets a social norm, decrease littering, increase recycling, and persuade pet owners to license their pets and "scoop their poop."

Social Marketing Services, Inc., formed in 1993, is a small consulting firm located in the Seattle area providing consultation for social marketing campaign development and evaluation.  (See Nancy in Pedestrian Safety Video )
