Don’t overwhelm with
FACTS, FIGURES & DATA
Consumers are all too busy to stop and understand the facts and figures. They can be overwhelming, making consumers feel like they are not doing enough to understand — and this can create brand backlash.
bottom line
they want your
story.… a compelling story they can tell others.
Consumers are voting more and more with their pocketbooks today.
CONTENT
DISCOVERY
HERO
= A VOTE!
CONTENTWhatever business we think we are in, we are first in the content business (nowadays).
where are you
in theconversation?
(People should find your story interesting or inspiring enough
to feature on their pages.)
People nowadays want to appear as trendsetters, thought leaders, earth savers or social activists …
and they want to do it with your content.
They can cut and paste the facts and figures off your site … (yawn). Better yet, regularly give them different, awesome stories. And, by the way, those stories should be punctuated by visual metrics.

discoveryDISCOVERYMistake #1: Advertising your packaging or your product as green.
getting lost in the green noise.

HERO(Consumer mindset has changed.)
(no time/no money)
We are all stretched too thin to save the planet — we barely feel we are doing enough to save ourselves, feed our families or educate our kids properly.
“Please make our life easier!”(be the solution, NOT the problem)
“We want you to save the world for us.”
“We love changing the world just by
purchasing something we would have already purchased.”
“The less wehave to
think about one more thing,
the better.”
Grownups are too distracted, so focus on their kids;
parents listen to their kids more than
they listen to you! (kids are going to save the planet, invest in them)
We want to use your
stories. Reach your children. Give them points towards their college education when they buy your product in earth-friendly packaging.
