Conclusions
• When thinking of using content marketing as a part of marketing efforts, it is important to understand country´s user specific behavior.
• To be more energy efficient in order to save money in energy, is really determinant.
• The weight of “recycling” terms gives a hint of what kind of real green term can be used as reinforcement in promotional texts or content marketing campaigns, if the product is recyclable.
• Discussion:
– Why the low average searches on Sweden using green term?
– Green terms are no more key components within a value proposition?
– What about energy savings or recycling?
