About US
A green business needs to provide features that meets a number of
user needs. Adding more content to your ecommerce site is not the
magic bullet. What is, however, is creating a great user
experience and providing just the right amount of information and
customer engagement that shoppers need to get to the conversion goal.
That can be done through a number of means by our
Members.
Many online stores are already paving the way by opening the door
to ratings and reviews. Others are doing that by creating blogs to
disseminate important and relevant industry information along with
tips and tutorials. Still others do that by creating an information
database that visitors can frequent to gain additional insights.
We suggest that the best ecommerce websites are not those that
build content around their products but build a community around the
product interest. By creating a place where shoppers can come and gain
information, learn more about the products and discuss or share
information with others and then make purchases as well, will do more
for sales than simply creating a shopping website.
By building a community you not only sell more products but you
build brand recognition and customer loyalty. And both of those are
worth far more than a single one-off sell.
That's where we come in!
US Green Commerce is a green community for
both green consumers and green businesses.
The latest Web 2.0 features and a growing list of green
consumers, businesses and services provides a 'hot' community for
today's green market!
A
US GREEN Commerce Business
member ensures
that economic power resides locally, sustaining healthy community life
and natural life as well as long-term economic viability.
A
US GREEN Commerce
Business is guided by the following principles:
US GREEN CommerceBusiness produces and exchanges locally as many
products needed by their citizens as they reasonably can, while
reaching out to other communities to trade in those products they
cannot reasonably produce at home. These businesses value their
local unique character and encourage cultural exchange and
cooperation.
US GREEN Commerce Businesses public policies support decentralized
ownership of businesses and farms, fair wages, taxes, and budget
allocations, trade policies benefiting local economies, and
stewardship of the natural environment.
US GREEN Commerce Business consumers appreciate the benefits of
buying from US GREEN Commerce businesses and, if necessary, are willing
to pay a price premium to secure those personal and community
benefits.
US GREEN Commerce Business investors value businesses that are
community stewards and as such accept a "living return" on their
financial investments rather than a maximum return, recognizing the
value derived from enjoying a healthy and vibrant community and
sustainable global economy.
US GREEN Commerce Business media provide sources of news independent
of corporate and political control, so that citizens can make
informed decisions in the best interests of their communities and
natural environment.
US GREEN Commerce businesses are primarily independent and locally
owned, and value the needs and interests of all stakeholders, while
building long-term profitability.
They strive to:
Source products from businesses with similar values, with a
preference for local procurement
Provide employees a healthy workplace with meaningful
living-wage jobs
Offer customers personal service and useful safe, quality
products
Work with suppliers to establish a fair exchange
Cooperate with other
US GREEN Commerce businesses in ways that
balance their self-interest with their obligation to the community
and future generations
Use their business practices to support an inclusive and healthy
community, and to protect our natural environment
Yield a "living return" to owners and investors
