AMA Houston B2B Marketing SIG Presents
Discovering the Value of Green:  What is green marketing and what does it mean for the B2B community?

Should your Marketing departments be adapting to this new wave of green, selling the value to both clients and employees? What are the special sustainability pitfalls and challenges B2B firms and their marketers must watch out for?
 
Many B2B Marketers are questioning whether it is important to focus their efforts on sustainability, particularly as economic conditions (and budgets) have tightened.   Our expert panelists will cover the following topics, providing immediate take-away and the tips you need to green your marketing.

  • Green and the New Administration:  More than $60 billion on clean energy investments are built into the Obama Administration's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.  The plan hopes to revitalize the nation's economy around clean energy technologies and will more than likely raise the profile of green businesses. How will this affect B2B companies, and more importantly - how will it change the way we market and sell?
  • The Business Case for "Green":  Hear how one B2B company not only sells sustainability services to clients, but has successfully adopted an intra-company green policy.  Learn how to avoid the pitfalls of "green washing" and how to turn a primarily print-based marketing department into a no-to-low cost "green" marketing machine.
  • Authentically "Green": Marketing Starts With Your Brand.  Whether your company is looking at green as a differentiator, or you need some transparency on your sustainable practices, conveying a "green" message is playing a larger part of B2B marketing. How do you integrate green as an element of your brand and convey this in an authentic way?
