Hitting the streets to promote health products in Senegal
A street marketing campaign in Senegal has educated hundreds on priority health products and has led to the sale of 130,000 water purification tablets and 30,000 condoms.
Working with its local partner ADEMAS (l’Agence pour le Développement du Marketing Social or the Agency for the Development of Social Marketing), SHOPS Plus used “edutainment” activities such as skits and quizzes to educate crowds on child health and family planning products. Campaign staff moved from community to community on trucks that advertised Protec and Fagaru condoms and Aquatabs water purification tablets.
This activity complements a mass media campaign supported by SHOPS Plus, which shares key family planning and child health messages through ads broadcasted on the radio and television, including screens inside public buses.
ADEMAS, founded in 1998, focuses on marketing priority health products in the areas of family planning; child health; HIV; STIs; and water, sanitation, and hygiene.
