Business environment threatened with many divergences since 1953, when Neil Borden presented the concept of “marketing mix” for the first time and in his discussion in American Marketing Association [37] . Jerome McCarthy [38] defined 4 Ps of “marketing mix” as a mixture of all other components in which managers might impact to gratify customer’s needs. Market analysis, competition in market, delivery networks, financial assessments, and adaptations are very important chunks of marketing management. The marketing mix is a developing process with objectives to arrange a complete action plan of organization’s products and services with mutual support of its important components [39] . Marketing strategies can be utilized to certain businesses through its mixture to achieve the marketing objectives proficiently. Traditionally, marketing mix is a co-ordination of all the processes to attain the customers, therefore effective products, prices, promotions and placements strategies are designed for sales of products in a proficient way. Walters & Lancaster

The product is defined like: all the benefits which are obtained by the users from the exchange [41] ; at the moment this explanation put in electronic internet environment. The connected and interacted internet prospective helps to devise new product concepts: “the virtual product” [42] .

The organizations should introduce an appropriate awareness campaign for customers about organic textile products, with the intention of that customers can choose friendly environment textile products for their use. There might be certain concerns rise about performance and durability of organic textile products contrary with conventional textile products. Generally, customers want organic textile products that are obviously improved than conventional textile products in relations to their performance and durability. For different types of clothing and stitched garments/dressing; fabric durability, good designs, fabric attraction, and colors collections are playing very important role for customers. Hence, to manage the marketing challenges of organic textile products, organizations should produce the best quality organic products relative to traditional products. To achieve the desired objectives, it is appropriate for the corporations to communicate with customers through websites, virtual networks and other internet based technologies.

Traditional textile production process is too much complicated with the using of different dye stuff and chemicals. Due to this reason traditional textile product’s fibers might lose their strength and other parameters due to heavy use of other chemicals whereas organic fibers can keep the organic products with good strength and other parameters as per customer requirements just because of producing in natural environment. Organic products are unique with distinguished attributes and are more reliable than traditional products.

The drastic changes in customer wants, tastes, and habits might not be anticipated over common market research practices [46] . Just because of that reason this is very indispensable for different industries and business to involve them with consumers at deep level [47] , to understand not only about their requirements, but to know why they required these products [48] .

Usually, the prices of organic textile products are supposed higher as compared to traditional textile products. There are primarily three reasons behind it to higher the prices of organic textile products: 1) organic textile products have low crop, 2) organic textile products consist of uncontaminated organic threads and 3) prices of organic cotton products are high at farm phase.

Approximately 70 percent consumers were willing to pay 10 percent high price as compare to normal price.

Generally, cotton growing is main cash harvest in emerging economies and other countries, so other chemicals and the use of pesticides are escalating the production costs. The farm work force must be protected from severe poisonous of chemicals that might reason injurious for health. Each year numerous abnormal and pre-mature birth cases are reported wherever women are unprotected to these circumstances. Such types of incidents and information motivate consumers to purchase organic textile products even on higher prices, but companies should inform and communicate all information through World Wide Web effectively to ultimate end consumers. If the consumers are well aware about the garments/cloths that are totally in organic nature and free from pesticides and chemicals, these consumers can even pay high prices for organic textile products or environment friendly products for their satisfaction on long lasting basis.

Long lasting relationships refer that where two parties act together with each other over time period while reducing costs through relationships of consumers and suppliers.

In the present day, customers are more sophisticated and demanded, they search, analyse the products features, prices, payment options, shipping information, and return processes before going to purchase products through online shopping [59] [60] .
