UPDATE: The green gap


To follow-up on the Earth Day posting from earlier this morning (immediately below), I’ll share this article from Marketing Daily, which suggests that “the green gap” is widening (click to link).    The story is based on a report called Mainstream Green from Ogilvy, which you can read by clicking here.  The green gap generally refers to the distance between people’s belief or opinion about environmental issues, and their willingness to act on those beliefs.

Implications:   Perhaps your green marketing message should focus less on getting people to believe, and more on the ways you make it easy to act.
