The societal marketing concept

Explanation:

Societal marketing refers to the marketing idea that maintains that a firm should make creative decisions not only through taking into account the needs of customers, the criteria of the corporation, but also the lengthy-term interests of society.

The principle of societal marketing holds that the role of the company is to assess a target market's desires, wishes and preferences and to produce the desired satisfactions more effectively and efficiently than rivals in a manner that maintains or improves the very well-being of all individual consumers and general society.
