Abstract
Cause-related marketing (CRM) is defined by Varadarajan and Menon (1988) as process of formulating and implementing marketing activities that are characterised by an offer from the firm to contribute a specified amount to a designated cause when customers engage in revenue-providing exchanges that satisfy organisational and individual objectives. In the view of the growing significance of CRM in countries like India, it becomes crucial to understand what factors lead to effective implementation of CRM. This study will provide insights into both type and scope of cause and their bearing upon consumer CRM participation intention. Consumer data were collected using a structured questionnaire from the western region of India. Reponses pertaining to two aspects about the cause of the initiative, 'type of cause' and 'scope of cause' were collected. Results showed that consumers' interests in participation were found to differ significantly across both type of cause and scope of cause.
