Social marketing is getting more and more important and is now emerging as the trend that marketers are considering. Our Viettrack March 2010 will help you discover what are Vietnamese top concerned issues on current society and critical factors for a successful social program. It is not surprising that unemployment, environmental protection, HIV/ AIDS prevention, traffic safety are top social issues which Vietnamese people care most. However, Vietnamese people are still very passive in responding to any social community programs. How can marketers make successful and effective social marketing campaigns and increase Vietnamese responsiveness level?
Let’s find out more in our attached Viettrack report for March 2010.

A7. What element does an ideal community programs/ activities need ?
29. Conclusion
Unemployment, environmental protection, HIV/ AIDS prevention, traffic safety are top social
issues which Vietnamese people care most.
However, the response from Vietnamese community remains low and passive. Most would
only read the news, think about the issues, talk to others about it. Those who would
aggressively participate and become active volunteers account for less than 5%.
Many of the current social marketing programs are not generating sufficient impact on
changing people behaviors. The most effective programs include: helmet wearing campaign,
HIV prevention, literacy program, traffic safety awareness, environmental protection.
The most critical success factors for a social program would be about addressing the urgent
needs from the community, organized/ launched at the right time and widespread
participation demonstration
