Element of the four Ps Definition Application in ALDP
Product The benefits associated with the behavior being promoted Increased knowledge on the full range of contraceptive methods as well as increased contraceptive care seeking and utilization of contraception via Z-CAN services
Promotion The types of communication that will be used to market the behavior Campaign messages developed using formative research findings were applied to print materials, on-line, and on-air venues
Place Where and when the desired behavior will be marketed Placement of campaign messages on targeted channels to reach women of reproductive age in Puerto Rico where they live, work, play, and receive their health care services, including Facebook, internet, radio, community events, health centers/health care provider offices, and influential individuals in the community (as well as friends and family members)
Price The financial, social, emotional, and/or physical cost exchanged for the benefit Campaign messages underscored that Z-CAN services were provided at no cost. There was a social and/or emotional cost around selection of contraceptive method best fitting the woman’s needs and lifestyle (especially if first time using that type of contraceptive method). A potential physical cost is the utilization of the selected method.
