Book Chapter

Theoretical foundations for exploring charity marketing

Abstract

The chapter introduces the topic of charity marketing from an academic perspective – and leads onto the following chapter which presents the practitioner perspective. It starts by discussing what makes the sector distinct, why it justifies a different theoretical lens. It then identifies and describes three of the main underpinning theoretical constructs: social exchange theory, market orientation and symbolic consumption. The chapter concludes with a new framework for considering how different stakeholder groups engage with charities.
