Tips on Marketing Your Green Credentials



If you make environmental or 'green' claims you should ensure that your claims are scientifically sound and appropriately substantiated. Consumers are entitled to rely on any environmental claims you make and to expect these claims to be truthful. This is best done by receiving independent third party verification. By verifying your company, product or service with a well known environmental certification label like GreenBizCheck, you encourage consumers to trust your company and buy from you.

Our top 3 green marketing tips are:

  1. Break down the range of promotional activities and opportunities associated with each point that a customer might engage with your business, and make sure you are consistently promoting your environmental achievements at each point.
  2. Inform agents selling your product or service of your environment claims and credentials and give them any training they may need to understand and operate in the desired manner, this will be a great selling tool and a point of difference that meets rising consumer demand.
  3. Train staff to deliver key messages to your customers to advise what you are doing and why.
