How does the exchange of ideas provide value, and what is the role of marketing in this process? Explain this using the example in the text of groups marketing bicycle helmets, or choose your own scenario.

What will be an ideal response?


Groups promoting bicycle safety go to schools, give talks, and sponsor bike helmet poster contests for the members of their primary market: children. Then their secondary target market segment, parents and siblings, gets involved through their interactions with the young contest participants. The exchange of value occurs when the children listen to the sponsors' presentation and wear their helmets while bicycling, which means they have adopted, or become "purchasers" of, the safety idea that the group marketed.
