A marketing manager at Stellar Tech believes that whenever the company opens a new office in a different region, it should contribute to local environmental initiatives. This would enhance Stellar Tech's reputation in the area, leading to higher sales. Which statement, if true, would highlight the most significant flaw in the marketing manager's recommendation?

Answer Choices

Correct answer marked below

Stellar Tech's products are primarily sold online, making local contributions less impactful on overall sales.

Funding environmental initiatives would mean reducing the budget for digital marketing, which is crucial for reaching potential customers.
