Marketing for Non-Profit Organizations
What is Marketing?
The study of people and what they buy, how
much they will pay, where they want to purchase a product, and how they are affected by
promotional tactics and messages.
The marketing orientation, or concept, is a philosophy concerning the way a company should be managed. It consists of three
requirements (Cravens and Woodruff, 1983):
1.Examine people’s needs and wants as the basis of deciding what the business will do.
2.Select the best way to meet the consumer’s needs that are targeted by the firm.
3.Achieve the organization’s performance objectives by meeting the consumers’ needs satisfactorily.
What is a Non-Profit Organization?
• A nonprofit organization or organisation is an organization that uses its surplus revenues to
further achieve its purpose or mission,rather than distributing its surplus income to the
organization's shareholders as profit or dividends.
This is known as the distribution constraint. The decision to adopt a nonprofit legal structure is one that will often have taxation implications,
particularly where the nonprofit seeks income tax exemption, charitable status and so on.
