Meaning Green Marketing is the marketing of

products that are presumed to be environmentally safe. Thus green marketing incorporates  broad range of activities, including product modification, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as modifying advertising.

NEED AND SCOPE OF GREEN MARKETING:

Issues like Global warming and depletion of ozone umbrella are the main for the healthy survival.

Financial gain and economic profit is the main aim of any corporate business, but harm to environment cost by sustain business across the globe is realized now though off late

Contd…

•Building corporate citizenship in the business class

•Industries in Asian countries are catching the need of green marketing from the developed countries but still there is a wide gap between their understanding and implementation.

GREEN PRODUCTS AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

The products those are manufactured through green technology and that caused no environmental hazards are called green products.

Promotion of green technology and green products is necessary for conservation of natural resources and sustainable development. We can define green products by following measures:

Contd…•Products those are originally grown•Products those are recyclable, reusable and

biodegradable•Products with natural ingredients•Products containing recycled contents, non-

toxic chemical

Contd…Products contents under approved chemical,Products that do not harm or pollute the

environment,Products that have eco-friendly packaging i.e.

reusable, Refillable containers etc.

THE GREEN MARKETING MIX Product: A producer should offer ecological

products which not only must not contaminate the environment but should protect it and even liquidate existing environmental damages.

Price: Prices for such products may be a little higher than conventional alternatives. But consumers are willing to pay extra for green products.

Contd…Place: A distribution logistics is of crucial

importance; main focus is on ecological packaging. Marketing local and seasonal products e.g. vegetables from regional farms is easier to be marketed “green” than products imported.

 Promotion: A communication with the market

should put stress on environmental aspects, for example that the company possesses a ISO 14000 certified.

Contd…Promotion- This may be publicized to improve

firm’s image. Further more, the fact that a company spends expenditures on environmental protection should be advertised. Third, sponsoring the natural environment is also very important. And last but not least, ecological products will probably require special sales promotions.
