Huang, Hsing-hao 14 July 2006 (has links)
Cause-related marketing is a marketing strategy used by enterprises to enhance brand images and to stimulate sales, via cooperating with non-profit organizations or supporting particular issues. This study aims to know about the experiences in cause-related marketing, the intentions for adapting the marketing strategy and to explore the views and opinions toward the cause-related marketing from the perspective of non-profit organizations. The study employs the depth interview method of qualitative research and focuses on the non-profit organizations which are engaging in the child welfare and also carrying the affinity cards. Based on the study results, there is no consistent module throughout the cooperating period, yet the level of involvement of the enterprises will be a key factor influencing the effectiveness of cause-related marketing. The two main intentions drive the non-profit organizations toward the cause-related marketing are increase in income and reputation. Noticeably, the size of the market will limit the growth of the affinity cards and the organization flexibility will also be affected by the cooperating partners simultaneously. Furthermore, the size of the non-profit organizations shows no significant difference on the intentions of carrying the affinity cards. Upon selecting business partners, non-profit organizations consider reputation and motif as the most important issue, secondly is the resources and structures of the enterprise, and lastly is the adequate obtainment of benefits. When dealing with the funding received, the existence of the contract will be the first priority. If there is no limitation applied, the organization will make the decisions depends on the cause presented. The three non-profit organizations interviewed all regard the cause-related marketing as one of the business marketing strategies. They all agree that it is a win-win or even tri-win structure, and enterprises can make concrete contributions to the society through it.
