White Lotus Home

Picky Millennials Might Be Saving the Planet

How Today’s Everything Buyers Are Forcing Brands to Shape Up (Or Ship Out)

NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, March 31, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- There is nobody more discerning in modern history than the millennial buyer.

Call him what you will, but today’s late 20’s to early 40s aged buyer is deliberate bordering on the fickle, and it shows. Research shows that more than 63% of purchases made online are made based on user-generated content, ranging from Amazon reviews to unboxing videos on YouTube.

But as the social media takeover gets a new kind of foothold, consumers are exercising an even more potent buyer right: the right to take sales from the companies who don’t give a crap.

The Buyers With the Heart On Their Sleeve

Boomers and Gen-Xers may lament the studious tastes of their generational successors, but the fact is that these buyers are about to make up the majority of the nation’s economic might.

In 2018, millennials were projected to overtake Gen-Xers as the carriers for the single largest buying power in the United States, with an estimated $200 billion in collective annual spending.

But this generation spends its money unlike any other, and if there’s one thing the data shows, it’s that the economic constraints of the highest cost of living in decades hasn’t phased them — they’re living frugally, and still putting their money into purchases from ethical brands.

On average, most millennials spend their time and money in places and experiential purchases that are value aligned, meaning they’re willing (and able) to spend more money on things like organic produce, whereas they might save money by cohabitating with friends or family members.

In most cases, what’s most remarkable about this generation is that they’re 75% more likely to buy from a company whose values align with their own.

Millennials are putting their money where their mouth is, and their mouth is fed up with unsustainable business models that take endlessly from the environment.

Greenwashing Is a Bust

About five years ago, marketing terms like ‘natural’ and ‘green’ would fly enough to give companies a spike in interest for conscientious buyers. Over time however, shoppers opened up to the idea that they were being manipulated, and the game got blown wide open.

It shows tremendous restraint on the part of the buyers to hold out and pay more for ethical brands. Now things like MadeSafe and GOTS-certified are the new standards in eco-validation, and buyers are more aware all the time of ways to identify the frauds and the fakes in the business.

The label-reading generation who elicited so many eyerolls in its early days is in its renaissance of making changes, and the effects are rippling out to wider profit margins in value-aligned industries not seen since the dawn of inflation.

Brands are capitalizing on the response in the best way — by greening their businesses, and creating conscious enterprises that operate as a force for good.

It’s Supply and Demand, Baby

For small companies like White Lotus Home, an eco-friendly bedding supplier, the change is hardly a shocker.

“Today’s businesses have to adapt to the “organic” change and understand that Millennials, and even some Gen Xers, read labels and do their homework before shopping. They’re changing many industries,” says President Marlon Pando.

The homegrown New Jersey based company has just celebrated one of its latest in ethical manufacturing achievements: becoming GOTS certified.

“When I started working for White Lotus Home in 2006, it was good enough for customers to know that we were doing our best to be natural and organic, but now they look for proof beyond marketing, they need facts.

At White Lotus Home, integrity has been key, word of mouth is responsible for over 70% of our business and becoming GOTS was the best next step.”

In 2018, a whopping 85% of purpose-driven brands saw positive revenue growth, compared to the 42% of non-purpose driven brands who saw a DROP in revenue.

The numbers speak for themselves: positive changes might exist in the hands of conscious enterprises like White Lotus Home.

White Lotus Home is a sustainable bedding manufacturer selling mattresses, duvets, pillows, sheets, and more online and in-store at their New Jersey showroom location. They’re committed to producing clean, hypoallergenic environmental change, one mattress at a time.

How Are Orders Handled?

It’s hard to believe what we are all experiencing, sending prayers your way 🙏.

Our White Lotus Home family extends prayers and warm wishes to you and your families during this difficult time. 

Here is more about the extra steps we are taking to service our customers. 

We are following the guidance of global health experts at WHO and U.S. CDC on preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus including the following:

  • Any employee that shows any signs of illness, is asked to please go home. We are working on offering more paid days off as soon as we get new financial assistance. Thankfully, none of our crew members has had to go home due to illness.
  • Our staff is following all the frequent hand washing protocols. 
  • We are cleaning and disinfecting our entire facility daily, including but not limited to cleaning all door handles inside and out, bathrooms and kitchen, areas of handcrafting.
  • Every handcrafter and staff member is now working in their own separate rooms.
  • Once each product has been handcrafted, they are properly sealed in a bag (or paper wrapped if you prefer).  For orders shipping via UPS, FedEx or USPS, the already sealed order is placed inside a brand new box.

In order to reduce exposure from the time your order is handmade in our NJ facility until the time it enters your home: 

  • When your order arrives, you can remove and discard/recycle the box outside before you bring the bagged product(s) into your home.  
  • We do all of our own Deliveries within 150 miles, but from now until further notice, we will not be able to enter your homes.  Again, the products are delivered in a sealed bag, but we are adding a second bag or box so that when we deliver it, we/you can remove the outer bag, dispose/recycle it before bringing the mattress into your home.  
  • Prefer for us to HOLD YOUR ORDER FOR FREE? We can keep your order in our private warehouse for up to 3 weeks for free, before you pick it up, we ship it or hand deliver it. There would be a $100 fee monthly thereafter. 

Our customer service hours are 10 am to 5 pm EST Monday to Saturday, by calling 732-828-2111. Showroom is closed!    

Need help selecting your next White Lotus Home product?  Please consider these very informative YouTube videos and our Natural Blog.

NOW you can also visit us VIRTUALLY. 

We put together quick videos of our different mattress options, we are also working on pillow and bedding, so more to come soon!

You can also TEXT us as 732-352-3628 or email info@whitelotushome.com 24/7 with any questions. We can also set up LIVE VIDEO CALLS with an organic bedding professional if that works better for you.

Many of you have been impressed with how we handcraft organic and natural mattresses, pillows and bedding in the safest environment possible. We hope these extra steps reinforce what we have been doing since 1981.  

NEW YEAR = NEW PRICES!

NEW YEAR = NEW PRICES!

PRICE ALERT! In 2018, our prices may change! While our cost of goods sold has gone up over the last 3 years, we have not changed our MSRP since 2015. Here it is! Tuesday started the last week, for you to get 2015 prices on your favorite organic and natural mattresses, pillows, sheets, toppers, and bedding. 

White Lotus Home will like to thank you, "our loyal customers" once again! 70% of our business still comes from you telling your friends and family about us, so please keep spreading the word and Gracias :) !
