Product, price, place and promotion, marketing's 'Four Ps,' along with the concept of a unique selling proposition and positioning ('the fifth P') are as fundamental to a social enterprise as to any small business. For social enterprises, though, the new essential is 'the sixth P'—purpose. How and when should your social mission be used in your marketing? Will it increase your customers' perception of value? Or do your services or products, or your customer demographics make it less relevant? This workshop will consider the fundamentals and explore the new essentials of marketing in social enterprise, drawing on the many case examples from the presenters' work around the world.

This session is designed for early stage participants who want to learn more about social enterprise from those who've been there.

Benefit from the speakers' first-hand experience -- how to avoid common mistakes, access useful resources, build a successful team, and develop practical strategies to start and grow your enterprise. And build your network by making professional connections with the panel members (and the other participants).
