Green Talk
Getting Skeptics to Buy Using Interactive Marketing Tactics
A growing population of environmentally conscious consumers is emerging from the convergence of environmental concern, energy prices and limitless information. These customers are demanding "real green" products from "real green" companies and are skeptical about most companies' claim on green. The outcome is a longer selling cycle and a reduction in customer loyalty. Join guest panel speakers from Houston's leading green businesses: New Living, Green Lily Events and forGreen Marketing & Design. They will address key issues at the forefront of the challenging green marketplace and share how they overcome obstacles using interactive marketing strategies.

Key Takeaways:

  • Discover the language and communication style that appeals to niche consumers.
  • Learnhow to use the interactive & social media tools that connect with the green audience.
  • Polish your marketing voice to attract and retain a specific targeted audience.
  • Engage with a cautious and even smarter consumer.
  • Customize your online marketing efforts to create a community of buyers.
  • Outpace your competition through a unique brand message.
