Social marketing is the use of marketing principles and practices to change health behaviors or beliefs, social or cultural norms, or community standards to improve health or benefit society. Examples include the use of social marketing to promote health behavior change related to eating fruits and vegetables (5 a day), breastfeeding, active play by children, and following guidelines for cancer screenings. It has also been used to change social and cultural norms related to smoking, texting while driving, condom use, and consumption of trans fats. An ad campaign for a new brand of toothpaste and an infomercial on a piece of exercise equipment are examples of commercial marketing, as they are for profit and intended to help sell a particular product.
