In an effort to encourage ecologically sustainable forestry practices, an international organization started issuing certifications to wood companies that meet high ecological standards by conserving resources and recycling materials. Companies that receive this certification can attract customers by advertising their products as eco-certified. Around the world, many wood companies have adopted new, ecologically friendly practices in order to receive eco-certification. However, it is unlikely that wood companies in the United States will do the same, for several reasons.
First, American consumers are exposed to so much advertising that they would not value or even pay attention to the eco-certification label. Because so many mediocre products are labeled “new” or “improved”, American consumers do not place much trust in advertising claims in general.
Second, eco-certified wood will be more expensive than uncertified wood because in order to earn eco-certification, a wood company must pay to have its business examined by a certification agency. This additional cost gets passed on to consumers—American consumers tend to be strongly motivated by price, and therefore they are likely to choose cheaper uncertified wood products. Accordingly, American wood companies will prefer to keep their prices low rather than obtain eco-certification.
Third, although some people claim that it always makes good business sense for American companies to keep up with the developments in the rest of the world, this argument is not convincing. Pursuing certification would make sense forAmerican wood companies only if they marketed most of their products abroad. But that is not the case,American wood businesses sell most of their products in the United States, catering to a very large customer base that is satisfied with the merchandise.
The reading and the lecture are both about wood companies eco-certification in the United States. The reading states that American companies are not likely doing the same as to certify their products and provide three reasons of support. However, the lecturer says that USA's company alway seek to eco-certification and have some considerable reasons, and that's why lecturer refutes each of the author claims
To begin with, The author argues that consumers do not trust advertising claims in general. the article mentions that many mediocre products are new and improved, hence they pay less attention or value to the Eco-certification label. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that eco-minded consumers always considered the certification and always prefer the worthiness of this certified product. Additionally, he says that consumers do not treat the same advertisements in the same way, they like to considered independent consumers advertise and like to accept eco-friendly certified company's products.
Secondly, the writer suggests that American consumers always prefer uncertified wood rather than certified on the basis of their price consideration. In the article, it is said that to get eco-certification, the company needed to pay for examined their business by the certification agency, and then this cost gets passed on to the consumers. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that prize always considerable in American consumers, though, they always considered only one computational product and others not. He elaborates on this by bringing up the point that almost five percent of certified wood companies keep their price reasonable and consumers always prefer not only, but also they are very much concerned about their environmental protection issues rather than price and they valued this matter first.
Finally, the author posits that certification helps for the wood companies only if they marketed their products abroad, but they sell their products in the USA. Moreover, in the article, it is stated that Americans companies good business sense to keep their products in the rest of the world, but they catering to a very large customer base in the USA and it is satisfied with the merchandise. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that Eco-certified companies always concern and also considered their products in the rest of the world, also foreign companies. He notes that if they are not to keep their products satisfied level, then slow down their sell and increase the foreign companies sell in the USA, thus they keep their products and always satisfied their own customer base.
