Summary
This paper reports on a study concerning consumer perceptions of cause-related marketing in Australia, and seeks to identify a direct link between consumer attitudes toward donating to charity (pro-social behaviour) and corporate philanthropy, and attitudes toward cause-related marketing. After a discussion on the related literature, there follows discussion on the research model employed, and the fmdings of he study. Among other fmdings, statistically significant relationships between attitudes toward charitable giving and attitudes toward cause-related marketing are in evidence. In this study, respondents express a preference for local causes, as opposed to national and international causes, and also demonstrate a preference for cause types similar to those that already receive the highest level of charitable donations. The paper concludes with a discussion of the limitations of the study and presents suggestions for future research.
