- Regional differences: Discover how the perception of eco-friendly products varies across the US, with surprising markets like Texas.
- Customer service: Learn why excellent customer service is crucial for gaining and retaining American clients.
- Adapt your approach: Guillaume discusses how to tailor your communication and branding strategies for the US market.
