The Use of Social Digital Networks by NGDO from a Social Marketing Perspective

Abstract

The social marketing paradigm has been changing due to the use of digital social networks. This causes Non-Governmental Development Organizations’ efforts to focus on achieving a greater reaction from the public in these communication channels. We propose that the way forward is to analyze aspects of messages that give rise to a greater response from the audience. In this regard, we have analyzed 3608 Facebook and Twitter publications with the combination of content analysis and correlation analysis. We have considered three aspects: purpose, theme, and quality of the message. We have also listed a breakdown of quality and purpose parameters in order to become more fully acquainted with these aspects. The objectives of this research are firstly to carry out the communication profiles of the NGDOs studied from the points of view of the organizations and the public. Secondly, to analyze the reaction from the public (interactions) measured by the sum of likes plus the number of shares for each post, on Facebook and Twitter, according the parameters considered. The results showed that the most published messages from the organizations do not usually coincide with those that have the most impact on the public. Another proven aspect is that Twitter posts about behavior have more effectiveness than informative messages. Likewise, quality aspects, such as hashtags, mentions, or links, are not succeeding in generating public reaction.

Exploring social responsibility, social marketing and happiness using artificial intelligence, automated text analysis and correspondence analysis

“…Furthermore, Twitter has also been configured as a tool that, used from a social marketing perspective, can contribute to generating changes in behavior more appropriate to sustainable development (Galiano-Coronil and Terán-Franco, 2019; Guijarro et al. , 2021; Guidry et al.…”

However, more evidence needs to be found combining the trinomial of CSR, social networks and happiness.…”

Microfranchises as an innovative approach for empowerment of vulnerable entrepreneurs in post-conflict Colombia

“…The world is dealing with a demographic time bomb as jobs and job creation is scarce vs the number of people that need employment. Everybody is entitled to work without facing discrimination (which at the same time enriches entrepreneurial action) (McKague et al, 2015) and, as such, to decent and productive work that will address and end poverty and hunger by 2030 (Galiano-Coronil, 2021). SE adapts to particular contexts and plays a meaningful role in incorporating the social component of assisting and empowering the poor (Diochon et al, 2017;Fairbourne et al, 2007;García Alonso et al, 2020), especially vulnerable groups that are "left behind" and affected disproportionately by both unemployment and poverty.…”
