Planting habit recipe #NetZeroProduct

Make your product carbon-neutral by planting trees for every unit sold and offering them to your end client.

Platform category: e-commerce

Platforms: BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, Prestashop, WooCommerce, your own e-commerce

Recommended for: E-commerces but suitable for any company selling a product.

Concept details:
Link the sale of your product to the plantation of trees. Each time a client buys a product from your shop, you will plant a tree and have the possibility to offer it to your customer. 

Each tree will be sufficient to offset the emissions of your products making every product you sell Net Zero.

Win-win-win:

• Win for the planet: this Planting Habit will allow to plant a large number of trees in a very simple way.
• Win for your company: showcases your company's commitment to sustainability, attracting environmentally conscious customers and enhancing its brand reputation as a responsible and eco-friendly business. By creating both your forest and allowing your customers to create their forests, you will create a long-lasting loyalty bond with them and a new follower base on Tree-Nation.
• Win for your customers:  they become part of your company's sustainability mission and Tree-Nation, knowing that their purchase contributes directly to a positive environmental impact. They can feel good about supporting a company that cares about the planet and making a difference through their own consumer choices.

How it works:

1. A customer orders a product on your e-commerce website. They get the information that you have planted a tree for them for this purchase at the checkout from your website and they will receive an email from Tree-Nation with their Tree-Gift.

2. The customer will receive an email from Tree-Nation and click on the link, which will redirect them to the “collect your tree” page.

You can find a comprehensive guide on the customer journey for the tree-gift reception in this article.

3. The customer can now collect the Tree-Gift from your company on Tree-Nation’s platform. The tree includes your company’s customized image and message.

4. In your company forest, you will see all the trees planted and offered. When the customer collects their tree, you will see their name under the tree.

Note: The message associated with the tree-gift on Tree-Nation is also customizable. If you want to customize it on the Tree-Nation page, you can do it from here.
