Read the scenario: A company in the United States (U.S.) is relatively new and is creating innovative recyclable garden and landscape products that are more resource efficient. A garden hose for instance that can be laid down between rows of plants and has sensors built in to determine when the ground has been sufficiently watered for the type of plant and soil conditions.
The company has not experienced sufficient sales of their environmentally-oriented products. They have advertised in gardening magazines or home magazines to no avail. They have a very sparse simple website but it really only allows customers to choose a product, order it, and call or email for customer service. They need you to suggest some customer-building strategies to help them out.
