mind Increased business Can create a favourable image of the
business/firm Can change consumers perceptions of the
firm e.g., Wal-Mart - sustainability consortium

Cause-Related Marketing
Consumer studies show that: 78% of consumers are more likely to purchase a brand
associated with a cause they care about. 54% would be willing to pay more for a brand that is
associated with a cause they care about – e.g. Fair trade coffee
66% would switch to support a particular cause 84% indicate that cause-related marketing creates a
more positive image of a company.
One issue with this approach is that a cause liked by one – disliked by another
