(Target audience analysis)
  • For each selected segment, and
  • Depending on the purpose, destination, and time
    of travel (Cells of TDM), consider for each mode
    of travel
  • Motivation/Opportunity/
    Ability
  • Benefits/barriers from
    current and new behaviors

4B. Comparing behavioursfrom the audience
perspective
13
What picture evolves from this audience analysis?
  • Is the group prone to behave, resistant, or
    somewhere in between?
  • Where is the problem?
  • Do barriers outweigh benefits?

Upstream Example

    funds towards building bike paths

Downstream Example
  • If you want office-goers to use public transit

Analyzing the target audience
  • Driving after drinking not safe
  • Could drive
  • Alternatives not attractive

5. How can we convince them to behave desirably?
(Marketing Strategy)
  • Selection of social change strategy (Rothschild,
    1999)

18
  • Education influences
  • Regulation motivates

19
Social Marketing has its place

If Marketing is the chosen strategy
  • Facilitate exchange mechanism
  • Irresistible offer
  • Satisfy self-interest
  • Offer benefits
  • Personal and Attractive
  • Immediate
  • Tangible
  • Certain

21
Create Competitive Advantage
Increase benefits of desired behaviour so that
they are superior to the competing behaviour(s)
Decrease barriers of desired behaviour so that
they are lesser than the competing behaviour(s)

25
Conclusions
  • Audience-centrism
  • Going beyond blame-the-victim approach
