Principle of Marketing 7
The economic crisis has impacted the food retail sector and this had an effect on
the GoGreen Paradise. The organic products are a bit expensive than the regular products
and in the situation of financial crisis, consumers tend to follow a strict budget that will
make them shift from organic products to cheaper ones (Denver & Christensen, 2014).
 Social
The organic products are introduced in the market with a perception of healthy
food that is good for the environment and people. This is the main focus of the
organization that has a huge impact on society. But there is also a huge percentage of
people who do not possess adequate information about organic products and thus are in a
flux situation.
 Technological
The GoGreen Paradise has made it to the shelves of supermarkets and local stores,
but it lags behind in utilizing the technology for increasing sales, especially when
compared with the conventional farmers who are using artificial synthetic substances in
their production (Ghosh, Datta & Barai, 2016).
 Environmental
The organic product is all about a better sustainable environment. The
organization GoGreen has to maintain a standard that is beneficial for the organization as
well as the environment.
 Legal
There are a number of rules and regulations that the organization has to follow.
This includes company law, food production law, environmental law, and others. Any
changes in these rules will have an impact on the organization (Hall, 2008).
