The New Rules of Green Marketing

For too long, marketers of sustainable goods and services have targeted "deep green" consumers to promote their products - and they have little to show for their efforts.

This central emphasis on primary benefits - the new rules - is critical to winning over the mainstream consumer and to driving overall organizational growth.
