Consumers typically have low involvement with the decision to buy household cleaning products and make quick choices. But Elena researches nontoxic cleaning supplies in detail before her baby is born. The market for green cleaning products was pioneered by small firms like Seventh Generation, Inc., which, in 1988, started selling environmentally friendly household products in health food stores and specialty stores.

So the products were made available at all possible outlets, including supermarkets, department stores and independent corner shops. In the UK and many parts of the USA and the EU, the decline of independent toy shops…arrow_forwardThe WholeBody Spa sells moisture at $34.50 a tube.
