GREEN MARKETING

Green marketing is the marketing of environmentally friendly products and services. It is becoming more popular as more people become concerned with environmental issues and decide that they want to spend their money in a way that is kinder to the planet.
Green marketing can involve a number of different things, such as creating an eco-friendly product, using eco-friendly packaging, adopting sustainable business practices, or focusing marketing efforts on messages that communicate a product's green benefits.
This type of marketing can be more expensive, but it can also be profitable due to the increasing demand. For example, products made locally in North America tend to be more expensive than those made overseas using cheap labor, but they have a much smaller carbon footprint because they don't have to fly across the globe to get here. For some consumers and business owners, the environmental benefit outweighs the price difference.

Green Marketing Methods
Beyond making an environmentally friendly product, business owners can do other things as part of their green marketing efforts. The following can all be part of a green marketing strategy:


  • Using eco-friendly paper and inks for print marketing materials
  • Skipping the printed materials altogether and option for electronic marketing
  • Having a recycling program and responsible waste disposal practices
  • Using eco-friendly product packaging
  • Using efficient packing and shipping methods
  • Using eco-friendly power sources
  • Taking steps to offset environmental impact

SELLING PRODUCT ONLINE: CONCEPT AND NECESSITY

To sell the product online, we need to understand concept of E-retailing or simply E-tailing. E-retailing  or E-tailing is defined as, "The sale of goods and services through the Internet." Electronic retailing, or e-tailing, can include business-to-business and business-to-consumer sales. E-tailing revenue can come from the sale of products and services, through subscriptions to website content, or through advertising. E-tailing requires businesses to tailor traditional business models to the rapidly changing face of the Internet and its users.

CUSTOMER IS NO LONGER A GOD: MARKETING REVOLUTION

"Customer is a God". The thing that everyone has heard and believed. But in rapidly changing time, this statement has become questionable and is seen as an outdated concept. Today, producers or rather marketers are producing customers. They are not only catering to the present needs of customers, but are offering customers such products which can convert customers' wants to needs, be it for short duration. Producer/marketers are opting to remain in front of customers, ahead of customers and then developing a curiosity market. Rather being able to become price sensitive, marketers are persuading to become candy customers. So the question arises are customers god or are producers God. Slowly and gradually, roles of customers and producers are indulging in a revolution.
