CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of the Journal of Marketing Management entitled:
New Horizons in Arts, Heritage, Nonprofit and Social Marketing
Guest Editors: Roger Bennett, Finola Kerrigan and Daragh O’Reilly

Nonprofit, arts and heritage marketing are important areas that span a wide range of topics in the marketing domain. The importance of the nonprofit, arts and heritage sectors to national economies cannot be underestimated, accounting in several western nations for around 2% of GDP and 5% of total employment. Marketing activities within these sectors can be as complex as they are diverse. A number of environmental factors have contributed to this complexity, including cutbacks in governmental support and subsidies, increased competition for sponsorship, intense media scrutiny, and greater public demands for accountability. As service providers, moreover, nonprofits and arts and cultural organisations need to be acutely aware of rising public expectations vis-à-vis levels of service quality proffered to funders, clients, beneficiaries and customers.

Research in nonprofit, arts, heritage and social marketing has been stimulated by the formation of the Academy of Marketing’s Special Interest Group on Arts, Heritage, Nonprofit and Social Marketing which is pleased to announce a Call for Papers for a special issue of the JMM intended to explore the frontiers of marketing knowledge in these fields. Empirical studies and theoretical papers that advance thinking in these areas will be equally welcome. Examples of topics that might be suitable for papers appearing in the special issue include:

• Fundraising and donor behaviour
• Consumer behaviour in relation to arts, heritage and nonprofit organisations
• Organisation of the marketing function within nonprofit or arts organisations
• Metrics for measuring and evaluating the marketing performances of nonprofit or arts organisations
• Corporate image, identity, and reputation issues within nonprofit or arts organisations
• Market segmentation, analysis and targeting for nonprofit or arts organisations
