Conclusion
Green marketing should not neglect the economic aspect of marketing. Marketers need to understand the implications of green marketing. If we think customers are not concerned about environmental issues or will not pay a premium for products that are more eco-responsible, then we should think again. We must find an opportunity to enhance product's performance and strengthen your customer's loyalty and command a higher price. Green marketing is still in its infancy and a lot of research is to be done on green marketing to fully explore its potential.
Marketers also have the responsibility to make the consumers understand the need for and benefits of green products as compared to non-green ones. In green marketing, consumers are willing to pay more to maintain a cleaner and greener environment. Finally, consumers, industrial buyers and suppliers need to pressurize the minimizing of the negative effects on the environment. Green marketing assumes even more importance and relevance in developing countries like India. Successful green marketers will reap the rewards of healthy profits and improved shareholder value and help in making the world a better place for future generations.
