Green Nation Gardens Business Summary

OVERVIEW
Green Nation Gardens sells green living products for the home and garden. As national interest in Green Living grows, our company will grow. We sell organic gardening supplies, fertilizers, composters, rain barrels, water conserving sprinklers, planters made from recycled products, up cycled products made into new items, toys made from recycled milk jugs and the list goes on.

Selling "green" products gives us a niche in a growing market. We offer goods that are not readily available in the big box stores. We are experts in this field and offer top quality products and the knowledge to assist customers in making the right choices for their needs.

Our biggest competition is an outdated way of thinking. That of course is quickly changing as more people everyday is beginning to realize the many benefits to living a sustainable and healthier lifestyle. They are not changing only for themselves but also for their children and the environment as well. The Green Living Industry is a niche market that is expanding at breakneck speed and Green Nation Gardens is leading the way. There are many other Green Companies; however we feel that our customer base, (the entire nation) is big enough that there is room for more than one company in the marketplace. Healthy competition can only make a good company stronger.

The beautiful thing about being a web based company is that our store has no limits. We can expand our store indefinitely, and grow our business. We will also grow our business by utilizing mini sites focusing on a targeted product, blogging, advertising and marketing.

This area is growing at an unprecedented pace as manufactures and entrepreneurs are seeing the importance in providing toys that are safe for kids. Parents are gladly spending more of their hard earned money for green toys to insure that their children play with toys that will not be a detriment to their health.

We believe that we are at the beginning of a great and growing industry that will only get bigger. New and wonderful products are being developed, manufactured and offered to Green Nation Gardens every day as distributors and manufacturers see us as pioneers in the Green Living Products Industry. Green Nation Gardens is positioned to lead the way into this extraordinary and wonderful way of living.
HISTORY
Green Nation Gardens has been in business since April, 2008. We started as an Organic Gardening Supply company and quickly expanded into Green Living Products. With increasingly growing interest in green living among consumers and our many years of experience, this expansion into green living products was an easy and natural one. The ability to grow and establish Green Nation Gardens has actually been a natural progression borne out of our interest in Green Living. The products have all been meticulously hand picked throughout the building of the Green Nation Gardens business.
OPERATIONS
Our daily operations are as follows: Mark is in charge of web design and maintenance, advertising and marketing. Vera is in charge of orders, shipping, and customer service and product development. Having an internet based business limits the amount of staff needed on a daily basis. We utilize Quick Books and have an accountant for all tax purposes, E-online data is our merchant account company, Authorize.net is our gateway company and Volusion is our web hosting company. We utilize shipping systems from USPS and FEDEX.
Our company is internet based for several reasons. It is cost effective and it is open 24 hours, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. Our customer base is nationwide. We also utilize blogs and article marketing to increase our traffic. The articles are included in the sale of the business. We have coupon codes listed on all of the major coupon sites to entice prospective customers to visit our site and buy.
We offer several forms of payment. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express, as well as PayPal and check by mail. All policies are listed clearly on the website. We do however feel that the customer's needs and concerns are of top priority. We accommodate our customers to the best of our ability in an effort to keep them happy, and a happy customer makes a great referring customer. We often have Promotional Holiday discounts, seasonal discounts and send emails to existing customers about promos and discounts as well as marketing on our social networking sites. We also offer promotional products to increase sales.
COMPETITION
Although there are a few Internet based green living products companies in existence, we have positioned ourselves within the marketplace and in front of our competition as experts in the fields of organic gardening and green living. We are just under to years old and being positioned where we are now solidifies the growth and profit potential that Green Nation Gardens will enjoy for years to come.
MARKET TREND

Although the Green Living Industry began amid the 1970's, its resurgence has come with an extremely loud emphasis on making a change. The largest group to enter this ever growing lifestyle is:

College Educated
Age 30's - 50's.
75% Female
50% $48,000 - $60,000 Income
40% $60,000 - $100,000 Income
10% $100,000+

We are in the process of "Branding" the Green Nation Gardens name so that anyone who decides to buy on the Earth Friendly side of the purchasing scale will have already heard of "Green Nation Gardens".

We are in the process of positioning ourselves not only in front of all Green Living consumers, and future Green Living Consumers, but also in front of our competition.

Green Nation Gardens prides itself not only on being a solidly positioned Green Living Retailer, but also it's dedication to showing people how to make changes in the way they live in order to benefit themselves and the environment.

As this group of Green Living consumers continues to grow and expand, with no slowing down in sight, we will already have been positioned to accommodate them. The growth is already there, we just need to keep up with it.
