The reasons that determine the behavior of food product consumers, but also of people in general, is one of the most complex issues in the marketing of companies and require extensive research, and the reason for this is the individuality and complexity of human. Knowing all the influencing factors grouped into determinants and discovering the correlations between them will lead to a wealth of information on the impacts and consumer behavior. Social platforms (networks) on the internet are very popular today, and information on nutrition, diet, gastronomy and eating habits is published on a daily basis. In recent years there has been a growing interest in food, nutrition and diets on social media (Livestiling, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), with gastro-blogs and influencers as channels used in marketing and influencing consumer behavior. The subject of the research in this paper is the theoretical development of a new methodology of the so-called “nutrition marketing”, based on several principles (3P), focused on the importance of nutritional determinants, determinants of food quality and safety, as well as other important determinants that influence consumer behavior. Emphasizing these determinants and the benefits for people's health and well-being are part of the principles of Nutritional Marketing. As one of the concepts of Nutritional Marketing, a survey is included in the research for this paper on the impact of social platforms as a marketing tool on consumer behavior by detecting an impact determinant called social media. The analysis of the survey is supported by the creation of several statistical models, including a correlation analysis model and a model for distribution of patterns. The principles of nutrition marketing and the developed methodology will enable companies to create a successful food marketing strategy. The benefitс can be trifold: it will benefit companies insuring their higher profits, will benefit citizens by increasing their consumption of healthy, quality and safe food products, and ultimately, will benefit the country.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a better understanding of the impact of (So) social media, (Lo) local marketing, and (Mo) mobile applications (SoLoMo) on consumer behavior. The paper is based on a literature review of peer-reviewed articles, published books, trade publications, and doctorate dissertations. This paper examines the SoLoMo consumer, which is a concept that has not been widely discussed in the literature of digital marketing. A thorough literature review of the digital customer journey indicates an oxymoron. On the one hand, there is a vast range of studies in the literature to explore the impact of social media and mobile devices on marketing and consumer behavior. On the other hand, little has been said about the integration of social media, mobile application, and local marketing and how it shapes the profile of the SoLoMo consumer. This paper suggests three areas for further research: (1) the examination of the SoLoMo consumer behavior; (2) the exploration of the digital customer journey; and (3) the investigation of selected new technologies that can shape the future of marketing. The study contributes to the understanding of digital consumer behavior in a multichannel marketing environment. It also proposes a research agenda to explore the future of online consumer behavior in the digital multi-touchpoint market landscape.

The Swiss Armed Forces (SAF), as part of a democratic system, depends on legitimacy. Democracy, legitimacy and the public are closely connected. In the public sphere the SAF need to be visible; it is where they are controlled and legitimated by the citizens, as part of a deliberative discussion in which political decisions are communicatively negotiated. Considering this, the meaning of political communication, including the SAF’s communication, becomes obvious as it forms the most important basis for political legitimation processes. Social media provide a new way for the SAF to communicate and interact directly with the population. The SAF’s social media communication potentially brings it closer to the people and engages them in a dialogue. The SAF can become more transparent and social media communication may increase its reputation and legitimacy. To measure the effects of social media communication, a survey of the Swiss internet population was conducted. Based on this data, a structural equation model was defined, the effects of which substantiate the assumption that the SAF benefits from being on social media in terms of broadening its reach and increasing legitimacy values.
