Zipcar, which was recently bought for $500 million by Avis car rentals, is a start up that is in the business of selling the urban lifestyle of renting cars for short periods of time instead of owning a vehicle. The case evaluates how Zipcar has been able to gain the trust of its customers by being a green minded company with a strong set of values and benefits that will keep a customer. Zipcar took advantage of the fact that they had a place in a niche market, which allowed them to create a positive image for their brand, all while creating a loyal following of urbanites that the company refers to as Zipsters.…
In looking at the report, the new pricing of the new product line, which is promoted as safe, effective, and eco-friendly, is probably much more than the consumer is willing to pay and may not work. An intervening factor in the consumer’s decision to purchase the eco-friendly product is the…
Just because baseball players are getting hurt, doesn’t mean you have to change the bats. Baseball bats that were BESR (Ball- Exit- Speed- Ratio) were legal to use until baseball officially realized that too many baseball players, especially pitchers, were getting injured. As a result, baseball officials made a bat that had less trampoline effect called BBCOR (Batted- Ball- Coefficient- of- Restitution). BBCOR made bats more similar to wood bats.…

One of the proposals is to increase the company’s market shares by designing a new product line advocated as “safe, effective and eco-friendly”. In addition, the product’s packaging would also be derived from recycled material which will help the company save money and re-enforce its green initiatives. In turn, the company will be able to price the product at a higher rate to match the competitors’ market price for green products. These strategies will enable the company to double its net profit as it reduces cost and increases profit margin.…
A popular trend has vastly emerged over the past couple of years and is increasing in popularity amongst Canadians called environmentalism. Consumers are becoming more aware of the effects of their never-ending consumption of products. With new government regulation and pressure from special interest groups and even friends, consumers are becoming increasingly interested in taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint. We are aiming at an active, environmentally conscious target market because the U Brita 254 offers convenient, healthy, and durable options for active people who enjoy many outdoor activities (i.e. biking, hiking, camping, skiing, and snowshoeing). Our customers our educated individuals who expect a great product that can keep up with this fast lifestyle while helping make the world a better place to live.…

CBRE adopts the social marketing concept that focuses on social welfare by promoting energy efficient products and green housing. The philosophy behind the New-Era orientation is one that requires most attention – environmental issues. Also, the company also adopts a “triple bottom line” perspective; besides environmental value, energy efficient buildings also create economic value and social value for consumers and publics with energy efficiency products. With rising energy cost in the recent years, the impact of the company’s effort was clearly observable as CBRE won many awards from environmental non-profit organizations. Also, the company benefits as their social marketing concept won public and government support which are both essential in land development, where group consensus and ratification are required.…

This report is taking a deeper look at Eco-Products, Inc. past financial performance and projecting the future. The company was founded by Kent and Steve Savage in 1990 in Boulder, Colorado. The company is a lead supplier of environmentally friendly food service products in the United States. The margins were low and the salaries were small.

This line of credit reached $4 million by 2007, and the company was running low on working capital. With a cash short fall, Steve is looking for addition financing.…

Peru has several fast food chains that compete with the North American fast food chains like McDonalds and Burger king. One of the best local competitors is Bembos. Bembos sells burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, the usual fast food, but with plenty of Peruvian flavor and style. Bembos is the company that I chose because it’s a successful business. It’s the leader of all the Peruvian fast food restaurants nationwide. Bembos has its unique twist that combines American flavor with our cuisine. The purpose of this essay is to show the theoretical model, facts analysis and the proposed decisions for the company.…
The society today lays a lot of emphasis on environmental sustenance. Such an emphasis has evolved from not only consumers but also from businesses and institutions in their effort to change the world to an environmentally conscious planet. Safe for this, there have been campaigns by businesses and institutions to attract more consumers for their environmental consciousness concepts. To this end, many businesses and institutions have embarked on environmentally sustainable projects at the expense of direct economically gainful projects. This paper thus seeks to understand how one of such environmentally conscious concepts, the green roof, has been deemed to have a positive impact in public relations.…

Western society is founded on a principle of convenient consumerism; however, this easy living comes at a high environmental cost. Individuals today are pushed to buy the latest fashions, the newest electronics, and the best imported foods the world can offer. Consume, consume, consume! In recent years, a growing focus on global warming has brought discussion of the effects of such lifestyles into the focus of mainstream media. This new emphasis on “going green” has opened up an entirely new category of products to meet society’s need to consume. The market is now flooded with “easy” ways to go green; hybrid cars, light bulbs that use less energy, anything to purport the idea of becoming more environmentally friendly – so long as the consumer does not have to actually sacrifice any of the conveniences of modern life. While these are certainly steps in the right direction; to create the dramatic decrease in global CO2 emissions required to combat the effects of global climate change, the idea of the “American Dream” society, and today’s rampant consumerism, will have to be revolutionized.…
