This document discusses how cultural values shape consumer behavior and how marketers can respond. It begins by explaining that cultural values are widely held beliefs that influence consumption patterns. When cultural values shift over time, consumer behavior also changes. Therefore, understanding evolving values is key to predicting future consumer trends. The document then outlines different types of cultural values (self-oriented, environment-oriented, and other-oriented) and provides examples of how American values have changed in these areas. It concludes by recommending several marketing strategies like green marketing and cause-related marketing that can appeal to modern cultural values oriented around environmental and social issues.

Thus green marketing incorporates a broad range of activities, including product modification, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as modifying advertising.

Increasing the return rate of bottles and cans has a very positive effect on their environmental impact. This idea has the potential to engage all parties needed to make a real difference for Heineken, consumers, retailers, NGO’s, and of course, the planet.
