In a recent Forbes article, we learn about the importance of marketing wellness to women.

The article explains that “women not only drive consumer spending, they also make approximately 80 percent of healthcare decisions for their families," according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

This is a huge market!

Consider your current marketing tactics, are they wellness related and are they targeting women?

You don’t need to have a food brand to market ‘organic’ and ‘natural’ products.

These words catch eyes in more outlets than just the grocery store.

Think about your garden brand. What products of yours provide a health or wellness benefit? How is your brand supporting the health and growth of the communities around you?

The options for marketing a healthy lifestyle, especially in the garden industry are endless.

Consumers Promoting Healthy-Lifestyle

People aren’t just gardening for the beauty. They want to nourish their environment as well as themselves.

According to Forbes, “Beauty is indeed more than skin deep when a product is good for you, good for the people you love and good for the planet.”

Consumers are purchasing products that are environmentally friendly and safe for pets and children.

Capitalize the facts. Plants already naturally promote health and wellness. They are clean air filters, oxygen machines, and wellness prescriptions.

Whether the plan is to head to the gym or work in the yard, the idea conveyed in fitness clothes is an active lifestyle.
