What is more, con- sumers choice for healthy lifestyle is determined not only by marketing influence but other personality and external environment factors as well. Research methodology – the model presented in the article was developed based on literature analysis and secondary data. Findings – social marketing impact on consumers choice for healthy lifestyle is determined not only by the social mar- keting, but also the consumer personality itself and the influence of the external environment on consumer. Research limitations – validation of the novel developed model dedicated for the measurement of social marketing impact on consumers choice for healthy lifestyle should be further validated with quantitative research methods. Practical implications – the application of the model will enable marketing specialists to determine the contents and other situational details of social marketing for consumers to choose healthy lifestyle and products related to it. Originality/Value – the value of the model is determined by its novel attitude to social marketing in parallel with other factors affecting consumer behaviour.
