Also, if in 2007 young people appreciated the most the formative role of the religion, nowadays they consider the social component as being the most important. The marketing perspective on religious organizations’ activities is appreciated by some and criticized by others, but marketing evolved and has been adapted to the peculiarities of most types of organizations, including nonprofits. Considering the negative attitudes and behaviors young peopleYoung people displayed regarding the churchChurches, some marketing strategiesMarketing strategies were suggested as solutions to Romanian churchesChurches’ challenges within the segment.
