  1. I just ousted Hannah S. as the mayor of Shanghai Chinese Restaurant on @foursquare! 4sq.com/7HFcBn
  2. Spend significant amount of time at the beginning of a comm project defining behavior change that will be the focus, what we'll brag about.
  3. The behavioral bottom line: I succeed when people act; understanding why&how people behave is starting point of any new marketing project.
  4. #2: target-audience centered #3: relies heavily on research #4: bias toward segmentation #5: defines competition broadly
  5. #6: has strategies using all elements of the marketing mix, not just communication and promotion
  6. #1: Focus on behavior as the bottom line of much of what we do.
  7. Change the org to fit the audience, not the other way around: it's easier, we have control of org not audience, will better meet needs.
  8. Characteristics of good nonprofit communicators...
  9. Can't simply promote the new behavior, have to unsell or replace the old behavior, offer something to meet the same needs.
  10. Marketers ultimate goal is to influence behavior, not impart info or knowledge (educator) or change values or attitudes (lobbyist, artist).
  11. Beyond exchange of $ nonprofit customers asked to sacrifice old ideas, values, behavior patterns, time and energy for psychsocial benefits.
  12. Nonprofits do not operate mainly to advance interest of own supporters: use society's resources and goodwill to meet society's needs.
  13. Nonprofit marketing is hard = influencing behavior w/invisible or no personal benefit or requiring 180 degree shifts in attitudes
