Turn Your Green Commitments
Into Marketing Advantages
Reach Green consumers (and Green businesses/ organizations) with marketing that has them calling you!
If you run a Green business or organization—or one that’s becoming Green—you want to tell your Green story to the world! You want to:

Understand how the Green customer fits in with your overall strategic marketing goals
Identify and expand your best markets
Establish win-win partnerships that let you enter new markets on the arm of a trusted organization in that space
Create messaging that shows the informed Green consumer you’re your Green initiatives make you the superior choice
Educate the “just learning” consumer about why and how the Green choices you’ve made result in better products, better value, and a better planet
Convince the nongreen customer that your product is superior on the merits (and perhaps open a doorway to environmental awareness)
Develop powerful strategies and techniques to brand yourself as the expert—while getting coverage in both traditional media (like the New York Times or MSNBC) and social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)
Lower your costs and boost your profits
